Pro4mance Roofing & Home Improvements replaces roofs in London, KY from our office at 333 N Main St, Suite D, in downtown London. A full roof replacement means tearing the old roof down to the decking, replacing any damaged boards, and installing new synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield, flashing, drip edge, ventilation, and your choice of architectural asphalt shingles, metal, or synthetic roofing. Most residential replacements are completed in one day, and the crew finishes with a magnetic nail sweep. We work across London, Corbin, and Laurel County, plus nearby Whitley, Knox, and Clay counties. Every job starts with a free roof inspection and a written estimate based on real measurements. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and bonded, with License #RC-2841. Call (606) 401-9922 to schedule your free inspection.
Replace the roof when damage is spread across several slopes, the shingles are near the end of their life, or leaks keep coming back after repairs. If the problem is limited to one spot, a repair usually makes more sense.
Architectural asphalt shingles generally last 25 to 30 years. Once a roof reaches that age, patching one leak often just moves the problem to the next weak spot. During a free inspection we walk the roof, check the attic, and tell you plainly which option fits.

Most homeowners pay $12,000 to $16,000 to replace an architectural asphalt shingle roof on a typical 1,800 to 2,400 sq ft home. The realistic range runs from about $9,000 for a small ranch to $18,000 for a large two-story.
| Home size | Roof squares | Architectural asphalt | Standing-seam metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,200–1,500 sq ft | 16–20 | $8,500–$11,000 | $16,000–$22,000 |
| 1,600–2,200 sq ft | 21–28 | $11,000–$15,500 | $21,000–$30,000 |
| 2,300–3,000 sq ft | 29–38 | $15,000–$20,000 | $28,000–$40,000 |
| 3,000+ sq ft | 38+ | $19,000–$28,000+ | $38,000+ |
A few things move the number. Steep roofs (7/12 pitch and up) add about $50 to $120 per square in labor. A second layer of old shingles adds $40 to $80 per square to tear off. Rotted decking found after tear-off runs $80 to $120 per sheet, and most homes need two to eight sheets.
These are typical ranges for southeastern Kentucky, not a quote. An exact price needs a free on-site measurement. Our Kentucky roof replacement cost guide breaks down every line item so you can compare bids.
Every Pro4mance roof replacement is a full tear-off down to the decking, not a new layer over old shingles. Here is what goes into the job.
| Step | What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off | Remove old roofing to the deck | Exposes hidden rot |
| Decking | Inspect boards, replace damaged ones | New roofing needs a solid base |
| Underlayment | Synthetic underlayment over the deck | Backup water barrier |
| Ice-and-water shield | Applied at eaves and valleys | Guards where ice dams and runoff hit |
| Ventilation | Ridge-to-soffit airflow | Less attic heat and moisture |
| Flashing and drip edge | New metal at walls, chimneys, vents, and edges | Seals the joints where leaks start |
| Cleanup | Haul-off and magnetic nail sweep | No stray nails in the yard |
Up to 50-year manufacturer warranties are available depending on the roofing system you choose. Weighing materials? Our metal roofing page compares standing seam metal with architectural shingles.
Most residential roof replacements in London and Laurel County are completed in one day. Larger, steeper, or more complex roofs, or jobs with a lot of decking repair, can run into a second day.
Weather is the main scheduling variable, since no roofer should strip a roof open with rain moving in. Once the old roof is off, the crew works through the steps above in order, so the house is covered with underlayment before the shingles go on. You can stay home, but it is loud, so plan ahead for pets.
If hail, wind, or a fallen tree damaged your roof, your homeowner's policy may cover the replacement minus your deductible. Normal wear and age are not covered.
You file the claim with your insurance company. We inspect the roof, document the damage with dated photos and measurements, write an estimate, and can attend the adjuster's inspection. Under Kentucky law, a roofing contractor cannot negotiate your claim for you or pay, waive, or rebate your deductible. Kentucky deductibles commonly run $1,000 to $2,500.

"Responded quick and came out and gave me an estimate. We're able to install the roof the same week. The crew did a great job and cleaned up when they were done. Could not have asked for anything more. Would highly recommend." — Ernie Dennison, Google review

For most London and Laurel County homes, architectural asphalt shingles are the practical choice. They typically cost $380 to $520 per roofing square installed and last 25 to 30 years. Standing-seam metal runs $900 to $1,400 per square, roughly double the cost, but it generally lasts 40 to 70 years, sheds snow and ice well, and does not bruise in hail the way asphalt does. If you plan to stay in the home for decades, metal can be worth the premium. If you may sell within 5 to 10 years, shingles usually make more financial sense. Pro4mance quotes both during a free inspection, so you can compare real numbers for your roof.
Kentucky building code generally allows up to two layers of shingles, so an overlay is sometimes possible, but Pro4mance roof replacements in London and Laurel County are full tear-offs. Removing the old roof is the only way to inspect the decking and replace soft or rotted boards before new material goes on. It also lets us install synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, and new flashing and drip edge, instead of leaving old problems buried under a new layer. If your roof already has two layers, both have to come off, which adds about $40 to $80 per square to the job.
Manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years are available on roof replacements from Pro4mance Roofing & Home Improvements, depending on the roofing system you choose. Warranty length and coverage vary by product line, and manufacturers usually expect the full system to be installed together, including underlayment, ventilation, and flashing. That is one reason we replace damaged decking and balance ridge-to-soffit ventilation on every London and Laurel County replacement. Before you sign, ask any roofer, including us, to show you the warranty terms in writing so you know what is covered and for how long.
