What's included
What Is Included in a Roof Installation
Every full installation we quote in Florence includes the items below. Add-ons like upgraded shingle lines, skylight replacement, or gutter guards are priced separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Full Tear-Off and Disposal
We strip the old roof down to the decking, including multiple layers where they exist, and haul every shingle to the dumpster. No layovers, no hidden weight on your framing, and no debris left in your flower beds.
Decking Inspection and Repair
Every sheet gets checked for rot, delamination, and nail pop. Soft decking is replaced with new OSB or plywood matched to your existing thickness, and we photograph the repairs before the underlayment goes down.
Ice and Water Shield and Underlayment
We run ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and around penetrations, then cover the field with synthetic underlayment. That is the layer that keeps water out when a shingle lifts in a windstorm.
New Flashing and Ventilation
Chimney flashing, sidewall flashing, pipe boots, and drip edge are replaced, not reused. Ridge vents and intake vents get checked and corrected so the attic breathes and the shingles last their full rated life.
Permit and Final Cleanup
We pull the Florence or Boone County permit, keep it on site, and schedule the inspection. When we leave, the yard gets swept with a rolling magnet, the gutters get cleared, and the driveway is blown clean.
Service overview
What Roof Installation Florence KY Actually Involves
Roof Installation Florence KY is the full tear-off and replacement of your roof system, from the decking up: old shingles removed, rotten sheathing replaced, synthetic underlayment and ice and water shield laid at the eaves and valleys, then new asphalt shingles, metal panels, or tile set with roofing nails and sealed flashing. We check ridge vents and attic ventilation while the roof is open, because a new roof over a poorly vented attic will cook itself from underneath. Every job starts with a moisture meter and infrared camera scan so we know what is wet before we cover it.
Florence sits in a hail and wind corridor that runs up through Boone County, and roofs here take a beating from spring storms, summer heat, and winter ice dams. If your shingles are curling, granule loss is filling your gutters, or you have had three roof leaks in five years, a patch is throwing money away. Homeowners searching for roof installation in Florence KY near me usually fall into two groups: storm-damage replacements and new construction roofing on the east side of town. Both need the same thing, a code-correct install with a real warranty behind it.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How Our Roof Installation Process Works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Free Inspection
We walk the roof, check the attic, and scan for moisture with an infrared camera. You get photos of every problem area, not a verbal maybe. Most inspections take 45 minutes, and we tell you straight whether you need a repair or a full replacement.
Written Scope and Price
You get a line-item scope: square count, shingle brand and color, underlayment type, flashing details, ventilation changes, and the total price. We handle the Boone County permit paperwork and schedule the dumpster drop for the day before install.
Tear-Off and Decking
Crews arrive by 7 a.m. and strip the old roof down to the sheathing. We tarp your landscaping and run magnetic sweeps for nails at the end of each day. Rotten decking gets replaced on the spot, and we photograph it before covering it up.
Install and Detail
Ice and water shield goes down at the eaves and valleys, then synthetic underlayment across the field. Shingles or metal panels go on with a roofing nail gun set to the manufacturer's pattern, followed by ridge vents, pipe boots, and new flashing at the chimney and sidewalls.
Final Walk and Warranty
We do a full water test, sweep the yard twice, and walk the job with you. You get the manufacturer warranty paperwork and our workmanship coverage in writing. Most residential roofs in Florence are done in one to two days.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Roof
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Roofing nail gun
Set to the manufacturer's pressure and pattern for each shingle line. Wrong depth is the number one cause of blow-offs, so we check calibration at the start of every job.
Infrared camera
Finds wet decking and insulation from inside the attic before we tear off. It catches hidden moisture that a visual inspection misses, especially after ice dam damage.
Moisture meter
Confirms what the camera shows. We read every suspect area and log the numbers so you know exactly which sheets need replacing.
Shingle remover
Strips old shingles without chewing up the decking underneath. Cleaner removal means fewer surprise decking repairs and a faster install.
Roofing ladder and safety harness
OSHA-compliant access and fall protection on every pitch. Steep roofs in Seven Points and Mars Hill get anchored harness systems, not just caution.
Tin snips and utility knife
Trim flashing, cut valley metal, and shape ice and water shield at penetrations. Hand tools still do the detail work that makes a roof watertight.
Chalk line
Snaps the shingle courses straight. A crooked run shows from the street and can void a manufacturer warranty if the exposure is off.
Use cases
When Florence Homeowners Need a New Roof
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Seven Points Hail Damage Replacement
Spring hail cracked shingle mats across the south and west slopes. The homeowner's first adjuster visit missed half the damage because it was not documented with close-up photos. → We re-inspected with the adjuster, documented every bruised mat, and got the full replacement approved. Impact-rated shingles went on in two days, and the homeowner's premium dropped after the claim closed.
Cox Creek Flat Roof Drainage Fix
A light commercial building had ponding water on a 15-year-old modified bitumen roof, with seam failures and ceiling stains in the tenant space below. → We patched the active leaks, corrected the drainage slopes, and installed a new TPO membrane system. The ponding stopped, the tenant complaints ended, and the owner got a 15-year membrane warranty.
Problems we solve
Roof Problems We Fix With a New Install
Most roofs we replace in Florence were failing for years before the homeowner called. Here are the problems that push a repair into a full installation.
Recurring roof leaks in the same spot
We trace the leak to its actual source with a hose test and moisture meter, then replace the failing section as part of a full install. New underlayment and flashing at that penetration means the leak does not come back.
Hail and storm damage across the roof field
We document hail damage with close-up photos and measurements, meet your adjuster on the roof, and install impact-rated shingles from Owens Corning Duration or Malarkey when the claim is approved.
Ice dams and water backing under the eaves
Our installs include ice and water shield at every eave and valley, plus corrected attic ventilation so the roof deck stays cold and snow melts evenly instead of refreezing at the edge.
Moss, algae, and sagging roof lines
We strip the old roof, replace any compromised decking, and install algae-resistant shingles. If the sag points to a framing problem, we flag it before the new roof goes on so it gets fixed correctly.
How much does roof installation cost in Florence KY?
Most asphalt shingle roof installations in Florence run $9,500 to $18,000 for a typical 2,000 to 2,800 square foot home in 2026, including tear-off, underlayment, and disposal. Metal roof installation Florence KY projects land higher, usually $18,000 to $35,000 depending on panel type and pitch. Steep roofs, multiple layers to strip, and rotten decking push the number up. We give you a line-item price before anyone touches your roof.
How long does roof installation take in Florence Kentucky?
A standard asphalt shingle roof takes one to two days on most Florence homes. Larger roofs, steep pitches, or a full decking replacement can stretch to three days. Metal roofs and tile jobs run three to five days because of the detail work at valleys and penetrations. We start at 7 a.m. and do not leave a roof open overnight without a tarp.
What is the best roof material for installation in Florence KY?
Architectural asphalt shingles from GAF or Owens Corning Duration are the best value here, rated for 110 to 130 mph winds and backed by 25 to 50 year warranties. Standing seam metal roofing lasts 40 to 70 years and handles hail better, but costs roughly twice as much up front. Clay and concrete tiles look great on historic homes but need extra framing. We will tell you which fits your house and budget.
Do I need a permit for roof installation in Florence KY?
Yes. Florence and Boone County require a roofing permit for full replacements, and the fee is based on the project valuation. We pull the permit for you and keep it on site during the job. Skipping it can bite you at resale or when you file an insurance claim, because the inspector can require the roof to be opened up to verify the install.
