Louisville Roof Pros provides professional residential roof installation in Louisville, KY for residential and commercial properties across the Kentucky side of the Louisville metro. Two roofs can look identical from the street and still be different jobs. This is the one with no old covering to strip: new construction, an addition, a dormer, an ADU conversion, or a deck going back to bare wood. Tear-off lives on our roof replacement page.
The useful sentence on a Louisville new build is about the deck rather than the covering. Metro ties the roofing permit to structural work on the deck rather than to the covering, and new construction and a full re-deck are exactly that, so here the permit and the inspection are both real. A full re-deck is also where a reroof quietly becomes new work in the code's eyes.
That means the sequence binds. Framing passes, the sheathing is inspected while it is still visible, the covering goes on afterward, and a final follows. The roof cannot start the morning the framers walk off, and a dry-in date set without reference to the deck inspection is a date that will slip. Ask for the inspection dates rather than a start date and the schedule becomes readable.
In eleven of the towns we serve Metro has no jurisdiction at all, and the local office sets its own permit scope and inspection order, so we ask before we price. Kentucky issues no statewide roofing license either, so where a permit is required we pull it in our own name rather than under a builder's. Pulling it ourselves means the inspection record follows us rather than disappearing with a subcontractor.
The code numbers are statewide. Kentucky's residential code sets a 115 mile per hour ultimate design wind speed for every county, which drives underlayment attachment and the shingle fastening schedule. Its design criteria table does not designate ice barrier areas, so an eave membrane here is a permit-office question and our standing recommendation. We recommend it at the eaves and through the valleys while the deck is still open.
If your general contractor already carries a roofer, keep them, and that is true more often on new work than homeowners expect. We are worth the call when a build straddles Metro and a small-city jurisdiction, when a re-deck has turned a simple reroof into permitted structural work, or when nobody owns the dry-in. Give us the address first, because the address decides which office you are dealing with.
Our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gutter apron behind the eave course, kick-out diverters at roof-to-wall terminations, self-adhered modified bitumen on shallow planes, tapered polyisocyanurate crickets and saddles, twenty-four-gauge standing seam pans — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Louisville and nearby communities including Jeffersontown, Mount Washington, St. Matthews, Shelbyville.

Materials, equipment and how we do residential roof installation
The difference between residential roof installation that lasts and residential roof installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gutter apron behind the eave course, kick-out diverters at roof-to-wall terminations, self-adhered modified bitumen on shallow planes, tapered polyisocyanurate crickets and saddles, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Louisville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Kentucky side of the Louisville metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Louisville Chooses Louisville Roof Pros
- ✓Chimneys, valleys, wall terminations and curbs are inspected and photographed one at a time, because in this city the field of the shingle is almost never where the water gets in.
- ✓Hail bruising and wind lift are written as separate dated findings, since an insurer reads them as two different losses and settles them that way.
- ✓When the repair is the right answer we quote the repair, including on a slate roof somebody else has already told you to tear off.
- ✓Shallow rear ells and porch roofs get self-adhered modified bitumen or a metal pan, and we decline to shingle anything under three in twelve.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
