Roofing FAQs
Signs you may need a repair include a few missing shingles, small leaks, or minor storm damage. If your roof is over 20 years old, showing widespread leaks, or has soft decking, a replacement is usually the better investment. Our roofing services include both repair and full replacement, and we’ll provide an honest recommendation based on your home’s condition.
Including tear-off and installation, a full roof replacement from Bluegrass Roofing takes just one full business day.
Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20–30 years when properly installed and maintained. However, Kentucky’s storms, humidity, and sun exposure can shorten that lifespan without regular inspections and gutter upkeep. Our annual maintenance service helps ensure your roof reaches its full lifespan.
We install a variety of durable options for residential and commercial roofs, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, PVC, and TPO & EPDM. Architectural shingles are typically the most popular for homeowners. For businesses, our commercial roofing solutions are tailored to your property and budget.
Several factors determine the cost of a new roof in Lexington. These include:
- Roof size, slope, and layers
- Material choice (architectural shingles, premium shingles, or metal)
- Decking repairs, flashing, and ventilation needs
- Local code requirements, such as ice and water shield
- Permits, disposal, and labor
We provide transparent estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Yes. In addition to emergency tarping, our team documents all storm damage and works directly with your insurance adjuster to help you maximize your claim benefits.
We recommend at least once a year, plus additional inspections after major storms. Regular checks catch hidden leaks early, extend the lifespan of your roof, and help maintain warranty coverage.
Be cautious of door-to-door “storm chasers” who pressure you into same-day decisions. Protect yourself from a roofing scam by verifying:
- A local Kentucky address and phone number
- Proof of insurance
- Written estimates, contracts, and warranty terms
- Secure, staged payments rather than large deposits upfront
Always check reviews, request photos of past work, and confirm BBB accreditation before signing.
Not sure how to choose a roofing contractor? A trustworthy roofer should be transparent, provide clear written estimates, carry full insurance, and hold manufacturer certifications that protect your warranty.
At Bluegrass Roofing, we are a veteran- and first-responder-owned company with top manufacturer certifications and an A+ BBB rating. We’ve earned the trust of homeowners and businesses across Central Kentucky.
Gutter FAQs: Installation, Repair & Maintenance
Most gutter installations take 1–2 days, depending on the size of your home and whether fascia boards or other repairs are needed. Our comprehensive gutter services include new installations and replacements.
Generally, gutters should be cleaned twice a year — once in the spring and again in the fall. Homes surrounded by heavy trees may need more frequent service. Overflowing gutters, pooling water near your foundation, or sagging sections are all signs you’re overdue for cleaning.
Yes. Gutter guards reduce the amount of debris that collects in your system. They minimize clogs and protect your roof and foundation.
Seamless gutters are custom-built to your home, minimizing joints where leaks commonly occur.
Sectional gutters are pre-cut and assembled in pieces, which makes them more budget-friendly but more prone to leaks over time.
Many Kentucky homeowners prefer seamless systems for durability and long-term value.
Yes. Properly sized and installed gutters with correctly placed downspouts help direct water away from your home’s foundation. This reduces the risk of pooling, erosion, and basement leaks, protecting your property from costly water damage.
Window Installation FAQs (Energy Efficiency & Replacement)
We proudly install Rogers Windows, locally crafted with a variety of frame styles and finishes to match your home’s design and energy needs.
First, our team carefully measures and orders your custom units. On installation day, we protect your interiors, remove old windows, set and seal new frames, and finish with trim, clean-up, and debris disposal.
Yes. Rogers Windows uses insulated glass, low-E coatings, and argon-filled panes to improve comfort, block drafts, and lower energy costs. Many homeowners also notice reduced outside noise after installation.
The timeline for window installation depends on the size of your home and how many windows you’re replacing. However, most projects can be completed within a few days. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your home.
New Rogers Windows include a manufacturer’s warranty, along with Bluegrass Roofing’s workmanship coverage for added peace of mind.
