Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our roofing services

What services does 44 Roofing & Construction offer?

We specialize in comprehensive residential exterior solutions for Louisville area homeowners. Our core services include complete roof replacements and repairs using asphalt shingles (architectural, premium luxury, and impact-resistant) and metal roofing systems (standing-seam and metal shingles), as well as fortified roofing. We also provide professional siding installation with materials including vinyl, composite, metal, Hardie Board, and LP SmartSide. Additionally, we install seamless gutters, sectional gutters, and gutter guard systems to protect your home from water damage. Our team also offers convenient roof drone inspections and estimates for accurate assessments.

What certifications and qualifications does your company have?

44 Roofing & Construction is a GAF Master Elite contractor, a designation earned by only the top 3% of roofing contractors nationwide. We are also an Owens Corning Preferred contractor and a certified Modern Metal Roofing installer. As a family-owned and locally-operated S-Corp based in Louisville, we have built our reputation on quality workmanship and exceptional customer service. Our certifications mean we meet strict standards for professionalism, reliability, and expertise, and we can offer enhanced warranty options that non-certified contractors cannot provide.

What kind of warranty do you offer on your work?

We stand behind our work with industry-leading warranty coverage to give you complete peace of mind. Depending on your project, we offer a 3-year workmanship warranty, a 10-year labor warranty, or our premium 25-year labor warranty for maximum protection. These warranties cover the installation and workmanship on your project, and they complement the manufacturer warranties on the materials themselves. Our commitment to quality means we will address any installation-related issues that arise during your warranty period at no additional cost to you.

Do you help with insurance claims for roof damage?

Yes, we have extensive experience working with insurance companies and will walk you through the entire roof insurance claims process. Our team understands what insurance adjusters look for and can provide detailed documentation of storm damage using our advanced drone inspection technology. We work directly with your insurance company to ensure all damage is properly documented and that you receive fair compensation for necessary repairs or replacement. Many homeowners find the claims process confusing and stressful, so we handle the technical details and advocate on your behalf to make the experience as smooth as possible.

What financing options are available for roofing projects?

We understand that a new roof or exterior renovation is a significant investment, which is why we offer flexible low-interest roof financing options to make your project more affordable. Our financing programs allow you to get the quality roofing, siding, or gutter work your home needs without depleting your savings or waiting until you have saved the full amount. During your free estimate, we will discuss the financing options available for your specific project and help you find a payment plan that fits your budget. We believe every homeowner should have access to quality home improvements regardless of their current financial situation.

Do you offer any special discounts or promotions?

We are proud to offer a $500 discount on roof replacements for military members, including both veterans and active-duty service members, as our way of saying thank you for your service. We also provide free gutter cleaning with every roof replacement project, saving you additional time and money. Additionally, we offer free shingle upgrades on select projects, allowing you to get premium materials at standard prices. Our special offers vary throughout the year, so we encourage you to ask about current promotions when you contact us for your free estimate.

How long does a typical roofing project take?

Most residential roof replacement projects are completed in one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of your home, weather conditions, and the roofing material selected. Metal roofing installations may take slightly longer than asphalt shingle projects due to the precision required. Siding and gutter projects vary based on the scope of work but typically take several days to a week for complete installation. During your free estimate, we will provide a detailed timeline specific to your project. We work efficiently without sacrificing quality and always clean up thoroughly each day, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

What brands and materials do you work with?

We partner with industry-leading manufacturers to ensure you receive the highest quality materials for your investment. For roofing, we install GAF and Owens Corning asphalt shingles in architectural, premium luxury, and impact-resistant varieties, as well as metal roofing systems from Modern Metal Roofing including standing-seam and metal shingles. Our siding options include trusted brands and materials such as vinyl, composite, metal, James Hardie fiber cement (Hardie Board), and LP SmartSide engineered wood. For gutters, we install durable seamless aluminum gutters, sectional systems, and gutter guard protection. We only use materials we trust on our own homes.

What areas do you serve in the Louisville region?

44 Roofing & Construction proudly serves homeowners throughout Louisville and the surrounding communities in Kentucky. As a locally-owned and operated company, we are deeply committed to our community and understand the specific roofing and siding challenges that our regional climate presents, from severe summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles.

How do I know if I need a new roof or just repairs?

Several key indicators can help you determine whether your roof needs replacement or if repairs will suffice. If your roof is approaching or exceeding its expected lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles, 40-70 years for metal), replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. Look for widespread issues such as multiple missing or curling shingles, extensive granule loss, sagging sections, daylight visible through roof boards, or persistent leaks in multiple locations. If damage is isolated to a small area from a fallen branch or recent storm, repairs may be adequate. A professional inspection can provide an honest assessment of your roof's condition and help you make an informed decision based on the age and extent of damage.

What factors affect the cost of a new roof?

Roof replacement costs vary based on several important factors that homeowners should understand when budgeting for their project. The size of your roof measured in squares is the primary cost driver, as larger roofs require more materials and labor. Your choice of roofing material dramatically impacts price, with architectural shingles being the most economical, premium luxury shingles costing more, and metal roofing representing a higher upfront investment with longer lifespan benefits. 

Roof complexity also matters: steep pitches, multiple levels, numerous valleys and chimneys, and challenging access all increase labor costs. The condition of your roof deck may require repairs before new materials can be installed, and removing multiple layers of old roofing adds to disposal and labor expenses.

What are the benefits of different roofing materials?

Each roofing material offers distinct advantages for different homeowner priorities and budgets. Architectural asphalt shingles provide excellent value with good durability (20-30 years), wide color selection, and proven performance, making them the most popular residential choice. Premium luxury shingles offer enhanced curb appeal with dimensional aesthetics that mimic slate or wood shake while providing superior wind and impact resistance. 

Impact-resistant shingles are engineered to withstand hail damage and may lower insurance premiums in storm-prone areas. Metal roofing systems deliver exceptional longevity (40-70 years), outstanding energy efficiency by reflecting solar heat, and minimal maintenance requirements. The best material for your home depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, local climate challenges, and long-term plans.
