If Your Roof
Already Has Two Coverings
Kentucky code bars a third roof, so we quote a tear-off instead of another layer.

How We Work
Commercial Roofing Company in Covington
Inspect First, Explain the Options, Then Install the Roof
We are a commercial roofing company in Covington focused on membrane and metal roofs for business, industrial, church, and farm buildings in Kenton and Campbell counties.
Our Approach
How Our Commercial Roofing Company in Covington Runs a Job
Our commercial roofing company in Covington starts every job on the roof, never from a price sheet. We walk the field, edges, curbs, and drains, look at the deck from inside where we can, and tie each finding to a photo.
From there you get the options in plain words: repair what failed, recover a single dry roof, or tear off and replace. The choice stays yours, and the work follows the order the roof needs.
- Photos tied to every finding on the roof
- Moisture checks before any recover or tear-off
- Sections closed every evening during work
- Permits pulled from the right office for your town

Before The Visit
Records That Speed Up a Covington Commercial Roofing Inspection
Roof records, leak history, and drawings make the first inspection faster and more useful. Bring what you have; none of it is required.
Original Drawings or Specs
Drawings show the deck type, roof system, and insulation, which tells us what sits under the membrane before any core cut.
Past Repair Records
Invoices and notes from earlier repairs show where the roof has failed before and how old each patch is.
Dated Leak Spots on a Floor Plan
Marking where and when water showed inside lets us match each stain to a curb, drain, or lap above it.
Insurance Roof Requirements
Carriers sometimes name specific approved assemblies, and knowing that early keeps the material order right.
Roof Access Details
Hatch, ladder, or lift locations, alarm panels, and tenant notice needs let us plan the visit around your building.
The Roof’s Age if Known
Even a rough install year helps judge how much life the membrane or panels have left.
Our Limits
Covington Commercial Roofing Limits We Hold To
Some requests get a different answer than the one asked for. These are the cases where we point the roof another way.
If Your Roof
Hides Wet Insulation Under a Patch Request
Sealing over wet insulation traps water, so the wet board comes out first.

Owner Questions
Codes, Taxes, and Open Doors During Roof Work
Can a business stay open while a new roof goes on?
Usually, yes
Most businesses keep operating, because crews replace the roof in sections and seal each one before leaving. Rooftop units shut down only while their curbs are flashed, intakes near adhesive work get closed, dumpsters stay clear of entrances, and poly protects interiors under gaps in the deck.
Which building code applies to commercial roofing in Covington?
Kentucky Building Code
Commercial roofing in Covington follows the Kentucky Building Code. The state’s currently enforced list names the 2018 Kentucky Building Code, based on the 2015 IBC, and the 2012 IECC for commercial energy. Recover limits, edge securement, fire classification, and insulation levels all come from those books.
Does Section 179 cover a commercial roof replacement?
Ask your CPA
According to IRS Publication 946, a new roof on an existing nonresidential building counts as qualified real property improvement under Section 179. Your CPA confirms how it applies; invoices that split tear-off, deck repair, insulation, membrane, and edge metal make that sorting easier.
Does Covington’s historic overlay affect a roof replacement?
Visible changes do
Buildings in a Covington historic overlay need the Historic Preservation Officer’s Certificate of Appropriateness for visible exterior changes before zoning. Flat roofs behind parapets rarely show, though new caps and edge metal can; pitched metal roofs raise bigger questions about panel profile and color.
What does the first roof visit cover?
Roof, edges, deck
The first visit covers the roof surface, its edges and penetrations, the drains, and the deck from inside where it is visible. The goal is to tell whether the roof calls for repair, a recover, or a tear-off, with photos for each finding.
