Gilbertsville, Hardin, Kuttawa, Grand Rivers, Smithland, Kevil, Reidland, La Center, Wickliffe and Fredonia, around McCracken County, Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. Each one gets the same attention to edge metal, drains and curb flashing, and roof work is reviewed by the office listed for that town in the table above.
Call with the town and the building type. Coverage centers on the eight counties in the table, and a building just outside them can still get a roof walk when the job fits. Have the roof size and the leak history ready so the first call answers as much as possible.
The systems stay the same: TPO, EPDM, flat roof rebuilds, industrial membranes and metal panels. What shifts is the detail work, such as tighter edge fastening near the lakes, taller curb flashing on plant roofs, or new coping on older masonry downtown buildings.
Tell us the town, the building and what the roof is doing. We will set up a roof walk and a free estimate.
