Shelbyville roofers for old houses and new

Roof replacement with protection at the eaves

On a Shelbyville house, winter leaks often start at the eaves, where freeze-thaw cycles and ice dams can push meltwater up under the shingles. That’s why the GAF shingle systems we install include a StormGuard® or WeatherWatch® leak barrier along the eaves, together with synthetic underlayment, a starter strip and ridge ventilation.

Every old layer comes off, the decking gets checked and repaired, and the new roof goes on to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. You choose the GAF shingle style and the color.

Storm damage in Shelby County

Spring hail and summer wind reach Shelby County most years, and the older houses in and around Shelbyville often show the damage first. On a house that age, brittle shingles can crack, chimney flashing can pull loose and old siding can split on the side that took the wind. Hail damage is easy to miss from the yard, so we go up, document it and show you.

When a storm has opened a hole or stripped shingles away, a tarp goes on first so the attic stays dry while the repair is planned. If you decide to file an insurance claim, we can meet the adjuster at your house, walk them through the damage and help with the paperwork. Your insurer decides what the policy covers.

Siding for historic and newer homes

On an older Shelbyville house, siding work often starts with what’s underneath, such as old wood clapboard, layers added over the decades or soft trim. We replace damaged siding with James Hardie fiber cement, which has the look of painted wood, or with vinyl and insulated vinyl.

Seamless gutters, sized to the roof

Downspouts that dump water at the foundation and gutters pulling away from rotted fascia are common on older homes. Our crew shapes 5″ and 6″ seamless aluminum gutters on site, sized to your runs. We repair the fascia and soffit behind them and add Gutter Cap guards if you want them.
