Roofing Repair Contractor in Independence, Kentucky
Challenge
A homeowner in Independence, Kentucky reached out after noticing missing shingles and dark granules collecting in their gutters following a series of heavy storms. They were referred to us by word of mouth and wanted a permanent, insurance-backed solution that would restore both protection and curb appeal. During our initial inspection, we confirmed that the roof had sustained storm-related damage and qualified for a full replacement under their homeowner’s insurance. To make the process as smooth as possible, our team handled documentation from start to finish—photographing and noting every stage from the initial inspection to the final result for the insurance company’s records. Once the claim was approved, the homeowner chose to move forward with our 50-year no-leak roofing system using IKO Dynasty shingles in the Brownstone color.
Solution
After the project was scheduled, our crew began by preparing the home and property for installation. We laid heavy-duty tarps around the perimeter to protect the landscaping and collect debris throughout the tear-off process.
Our inspector had already determined during the attic inspection that the roof decking appeared to be in excellent shape and likely wouldn’t require replacement. Once the old shingles were removed, our on-site Project Manager verified those findings—confirming that all plywood decking passed inspection and was free of moisture or structural issues. Having a Project Manager on every roof replacement ensures that our workmanship stays consistent and that every detail of the job goes according to plan.
We then applied seam deck tape over all joints in the sheathing for added waterproofing and a clean layout for the underlayment. Next came KRS Sealoron Ice & Water Shield, adhered along all eaves and valleys and extending six feet up from the roof edge to guard against leaks in high-flow areas. The remainder of the deck was covered with KRS Velora One synthetic underlayment, fastened securely with plastic cap nails for a watertight finish.
Finally, we installed IKO Dynasty shingles in the Brownstone color, including hips and ridges, using galvanized nails that resist rust and corrosion. We completed the system with aluminum drip edges, rake edges, apron flashing, and perma boots—delivering a polished, long-lasting finish.
Throughout the project, our team continued documenting every step for the insurance record, providing full transparency from start to finish. The result is a durable, beautifully installed roof backed by our 50-year no-leak warranty and the peace of mind that comes from knowing every stage was carefully inspected and managed.
