What roofs face in Kentucky
- High wind & severe storms
- Hail
- Snow & ice dams
- Heavy rain & moss
Severe storms and tornadoes
Western and central Kentucky see tornadoes and severe storms, including the December 2021 tornado outbreak. Wind-rated installation and inspections after storms matter.
Ice storms
Winter ice storms load roofs and gutters and bring limbs down onto houses.
Older brick homes
Louisville's older neighborhoods have steep roofs, slate in places, and masonry chimneys that need careful flashing.
Flooding and heavy rain
Eastern Kentucky's 2022 floods and recurring heavy rain across the state show how much water roofs and gutters must move. Clear valleys, properly sized gutters and sound flashing keep water from finding its way into walls and ceilings.
Licensing, permits and contracts in Kentucky
Kentucky does not license roofers statewide. Louisville and other cities set local licensing and permit requirements, so check with your local building department.
