What Louisville Storms Do to Roofs
The Ohio Valley catches almost every kind of severe weather short of a hurricane. Straight-line winds regularly exceed 70 mph. Hail from 1" to golf-ball size hits multiple times per spring. Tornadoes have leveled Louisville neighborhoods more than once. Even a "routine" thunderstorm can push 60 mph gusts.
That's why our storm response is set up like an emergency service. We keep tarping crews on standby. When the sky clears, we're already on the road.
Common Louisville storm damage:
Missing or lifted shingles from wind. Hail bruising and granule loss (often invisible from the ground). Tree limb impact damage. Debris impacts and punctures. Torn or lifted flashing. Ridge cap damage. Gutter and downspout separation. Interior water damage from any of the above.
The Truth About Post-Storm Roofing in Louisville
After every major Louisville storm, out-of-state "storm chasers" flood the city. They knock doors, sign contracts fast, take insurance checks, and disappear before the work is done or before the warranty ever gets tested. Kentucky Attorney General warnings about them come out every spring.
We're not one of them. We're a Louisville business, licensed in Kentucky and Indiana, with a physical presence and a reputation that goes back to 2008. When you file a storm claim with us, we're still here at year 20 to honor the warranty.

Serving Every Corner of Louisville
Storm impact varies dramatically across Louisville. A supercell that batters Prospect may miss Fern Creek entirely. We track it all.
Central Louisville

- Historic housing stockShotguns, Victorians, and craftsman bungalows need material matching and preservation-aware repairs.

- Chimney and flashing wearCentury-old chimneys are the #1 leak source we find in Central Louisville homes.
East Louisville
St. Matthews, Middletown, Prospect, Anchorage
