How to choose a roofing contractor without getting burned
A straight guide for Florence, KY homeowners. Get a roof inspection and free estimate from a local team that shows up.
You need roof work in Florence. Maybe you saw shingles in the yard after a storm off I-75. You worry about picking a contractor who takes your money and vanishes. You just want someone honest who will do the job right.
A bad roof job hides for months. Then you see water stains on the ceiling near Oakbrook. Or a neighbor mentions a leak right after the warranty expired. Shoddy crews rush the underlayment. They reuse old flashing. They skip the drip edge. You pay twice when the damage spreads.
A new roof in Boone County can run from $8,000 to over $20,000. The price moves with the roof pitch, the layers to tear off, and the material you pick. Asphalt shingles cost less. Metal lasts longer. A free estimate with photos shows you exactly what you need. No guessing.
Get three written estimates this week. Ask each contractor for a Florence address, not a P.O. box. Check their insurance certificate yourself. Call one past customer who had a job done two years ago. TruRoof gives you a plain-English walkthrough of every photo we take during your free roof inspection. You see what we see.
You end up with a dry house and a stack of paperwork that proves the work was done right. You know who to call if a branch hits the roof next spring. You sleep fine when the heavy rains come through northern Kentucky.
What people in Florence say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
Other things people in Florence ask
how much should a roof inspection cost
Our inspections are free and come with photos and a written report you keep, whether or not you hire us.
what does a roof inspection include
Shingles, flashing, penetrations, gutters, attic ventilation and decking, documented with photos.
why do i keep getting calls about roof inspections
Storm chasers follow hail maps. Use a local, licensed company that will still be here in five years.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
shingles curling and losing granules
Curling and granule loss mean the shingles are past the middle of their life. A few bad shingles can be replaced. If it is widespread, start budgeting for a tear-off. Get an inspection with photos so you can see the truth.
