Danville, Kentucky · Licensed · Insured · Bonded
A complete new roof, torn off, decked right, and installed by Ben Scott’s own crew. Every roof type, residential and commercial, with a five year manufacturer warranty on the materials and our one year workmanship warranty on the installation.
A new roof is one of the biggest single checks a homeowner writes, and the whole point of writing it is to stop thinking about the roof for a very long time.
That only happens when the replacement is done as a complete system. Scott Construction KY tears off the old roof instead of burying it, inspects the decking underneath, repairs what is soft before anything new goes over it, and installs the new roof with the flashing, underlayment, and detail work that decide how long it lasts.
This page is part of our Roofing & Exteriors work, and if your roof needs a fix rather than a full replacement, our roof repair crew is the same crew.
The manufacturer covers the materials and we cover the workmanship, both in writing. That is the combination that decides whether a roof is actually settled.
Tearing off is the one chance to see the deck. Soft or rotted sheathing gets replaced rather than shingled over, which is where a new roof quietly goes wrong.
Architectural shingle, metal and low-slope systems are all installed by the same crew, so the recommendation is based on your roof rather than on what we happen to stock.
Freeze, thaw, wind and summer heat in the same twelve months. Ventilation and underlayment get specified for that, because they are what decide the roof’s real lifespan.
Ben’s crew replaces all roof types, on houses, outbuildings, and commercial buildings alike. The right system for your building, its pitch, and its use is part of the conversation before anything gets priced.
Because Scott Construction is a full general contractor with 28 years of trade experience behind it, the structural side of a reroof is just part of the job here. Soft decking gets replaced, framing problems get corrected, and rotted fascia and trim get rebuilt by the same people putting the roof on.
That matters more than most homeowners expect. A roof is only as good as what it is nailed to, and a crew that can rebuild the structure under it can fix what it finds on the spot.
Every roof we replace is warranted twice. The roofing materials carry a five year warranty from the manufacturer, and our own one year workmanship warranty covers the installation on top of it.
That split is worth understanding: the manufacturer stands behind the materials, and Scott Construction stands behind the work. You get both, on paper, before the first shingle comes off.
Not every aging roof needs replacing, and the answer should come from the roof, not from a sales target.
Ben makes the call on the roof itself. A repair that will genuinely hold gets a repair price. A roof at the end of its run gets a replacement price and a plain explanation of why. Either way you decide with a real number in front of you.
When replacement is the answer, you will know exactly what you are buying: the tear-off, the decking work, the new system, and both warranties, all in one written number.
Central Kentucky gives a roof all four seasons at full strength: summer heat and humidity, freeze-thaw winters that work every fastener, and spring storms that test every edge and ridge in Boyle County.
A replacement built for this climate is decided in the details. Correct flashing at every penetration, underlayment that assumes wind-driven rain, and straight, tight courses are what separate a roof that shrugs off a Kentucky spring from one that starts leaking at the first hard storm.
And when weather does win a round, the company that installed your roof answers the phone. We run 24/7 for water leaks, and our emergency and storm repair crew handles damage that goes past the roofline.
Danville’s housing stock runs old, and reroofing an older home comes with two local rules worth knowing up front.
Properties inside Danville’s designated historic district need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Danville Architectural Heritage Board before exterior changes begin, and changing the roofing is exactly that kind of change. We plan the review into the schedule, and because historic restoration is one of our specialties, that process is familiar ground.
On homes built before 1978, federal EPA renovation rules apply when enough painted exterior surface gets disturbed, which tear-off work along trim and fascia can do. We follow lead-safe practice on pre-1978 homes as a matter of course.
Behind all of it sits the Boyle County standard we work to every day: a county contractor’s license renewed annually, general liability insurance of at least $350,000, and workers’ compensation for the crew. On jobs up to $10,000 you do not pay anything until the job is complete, and veteran, military, and senior discounts on materials apply, along with a single parent discount on materials and a referral program.
All of them. Scott Construction replaces every roof type, on homes and on commercial buildings, and the right system for your building is part of the conversation before anything gets priced.
Two warranties, in writing. The roofing materials carry a five year warranty from the manufacturer, and Scott Construction’s own one year workmanship warranty covers the installation on top of it.
Ben makes that call on the roof, not from a truck window. A repair that will genuinely hold gets a repair price, and a roof at the end of its run gets a replacement price with a plain explanation of why. Either way the decision stays yours, made with a real number in front of you.
On jobs up to $10,000 you do not pay anything until the job is complete. Veteran, military, and senior discounts on materials apply, along with a single parent discount on materials and a referral program.
Yes. Changing the roofing on a property inside Danville’s designated historic district is an exterior change, which needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Danville Architectural Heritage Board before work begins. We plan that review into the schedule, and historic restoration is one of our specialties.
A straight answer costs nothing to ask for. Send the details or call, either way you talk to Ben.
