Your New Roof Is a 20-Year Promise. Don't Hand It to Someone Who'll Be Gone Tomorrow.
Local, owner-run, 20 years — backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
A roof replacement isn't a product you buy. It's a 20-year promise — and the hard part is, you can't see most of what you're paying for.
That's exactly why the lowest bid is so tempting and so dangerous. Out-of-town crews win the job by cutting the things you'll never see until it's too late: the decking they didn't replace, the weather barrier they skipped, the flashing they rushed. It looks fine until the first hard Kentucky rain finds the corner they cut — and by then, the number you called is disconnected.
I do it the way I'd do it on my own house. Most roofs go on in a single day. And every one is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty — because I'm still going to be in Louisville next year, and the year after that.

Why Wells Built Roofing?
F.A.Q.
We understand that when faced with replacing your roof, it creates a lot of anxiety and stress.
That leads to a lot of questions because you've likely never been in this situation before.
We strive to get you clear answers even if you don't hire us.
To the right you will find answers to some of the questions we get asked most often about roof replacement.
If you don't see your question answered here, send us an email by clicking the button below.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes are done in one day. Steep, large, or multi-layer roofs can run two — but we never leave your roof open overnight.
You'll wake up to a finished roof, not a tarp.
Will you go over my old shingles or tear them off?
We tear off down to the decking, every time.
Going over old shingles traps heat, hides rotten wood, and voids most manufacturer warranties.
You're paying for a real roof, not a cover-up.
What does a new roof cost in Louisville?
Most asphalt replacements here land between roughly $9,000 and $20,000, depending on your home's size, pitch, and the shingle you pick.
We measure your roof and hand you a firm written number — no moving target.
How long does a new roof usually last in Louisville?
Both the material and maintenance of your roof are significant factors in determining its longevity.
On average, asphalt shingle roofs in Louisville have a lifespan of 8 years.
However, with proper installation and maintenance, they can last up to 15 years, barring any storm damage.
What shingles do you use?
Class 4 impact-resistant architectural shingles on every job.
They stand up to Kentucky hail, look sharp, and often earn you a discount on your homeowner's insurance.
Can I replace just one slope instead of the whole roof?
If the damage is isolated to one side and the roof is young, yes.
But if it's age-related, a partial job just delays the full one and rarely matches color.
We'll tell you straight which situation you're in.
What happens to my yard, plants, and gutters during the job?
We tarp the ground, protect your landscaping, and run a magnet over the whole yard twice when we're done.
You won't be picking nails out of your tires next spring.
Is the warranty real, or just a sales line?
Both a manufacturer material warranty and our own lifetime workmanship warranty.
We're local and owner-run — the company that installs it is the same one still here to honor it.
