Free inspection, photos and a written estimate
A roof that leaks in a new spot every spring isn't asking for another patch. It's asking to be replaced. 3 Peaks Roofing is a locally owned roofer out of Louisville, and we replace roofs on homes across Shepherdsville and the rest of Bullitt County. Before anything is scheduled, you get a free inspection, photos of what we found up there, and a written estimate you can read at your own pace.
What We Offer in Shepherdsville, KY
Signs it's time for a new roof, not another repair
Most roofs give plenty of warning. The trick is telling the difference between "fix this spot" and "the whole system is worn out." These usually point to replacement:
-
Granules piling up in the gutters or at the downspouts. New shingles shed a little grit. Heavy, steady loss on an older roof means the asphalt underneath is open to sun and rain.
-
Curling, cupping or cracking across whole slopes. One bad shingle is a repair. An entire side of the house that looks tired is a replacement.
-
Soft spots underfoot, or daylight showing in the attic. That's damage below the shingles, in the wood deck itself.
-
More than one leak, or the same leak coming back. Each patch leaves the roof a little more patchwork, and the visits add up.
-
Storm damage on a roof that was already near the end. Sometimes hail or wind makes the decision for you, and your homeowner's policy may help with the cost.
If you can't tell which group you're in, that's exactly what the free inspection is for.

Choosing what goes on: shingle, metal or flat
Asphalt shingles are what most homeowners pick. They come in a wide range of colors, suit almost any style of house, and are simple to repair later if a storm knocks a few loose. Our shingle roofs page covers the options in more detail.
Metal is the other common choice for a pitched roof. It usually costs more up front than shingles, sheds rain quickly, and holds up well to wind when it's installed correctly. If you're weighing it, read about residential metal roofs, then ask us to put both options on your estimate so you can compare them side by side.
For porches, additions and low-slope sections that won't drain fast enough for shingles, we install flat roofing membranes such as TPO and EPDM. Plenty of houses need a little of both: shingles on the main roof and a membrane over a back porch or sunroom.
Whatever you choose, the estimate spells out the material, the color, and each part of the system being replaced, including decking where it's needed, underlayment, flashing, vents and drip edge.
What Bullitt County weather does to an aging roof
Shepherdsville sits on the Salt River as the seat of Bullitt County, about 20 miles south of downtown Louisville on I-65. It shares Louisville's humid subtropical climate, and that's hard on asphalt roofing in three ways.
Summers run hot and humid, and long stretches of heat bake shingles on south- and west-facing slopes faster than the shaded side. Spring brings severe thunderstorms with hail and strong straight-line winds. And while the cold season isn't brutal, freezes around Louisville typically start in early November and hang on into early April. Water that slips under a lifted shingle or into a cracked pipe boot can freeze, expand and widen the gap again and again.
None of that means your roof is failing. It means an older roof in Shepherdsville deserves a close look before it starts letting water in, not after.
How a replacement works with us
-
Free inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, vents, gutters and decking, and the attic if we can get to it.
-
Photos of what we find. You see what we saw, so the recommendation isn't just our word.
-
Written estimate. Material, scope and everything included, on paper.
-
Insurance help if a storm caused the damage. If hail or wind is part of the story, we help you work through the claim with your homeowner's insurance.
-
Installation. Tear-off down to the deck, soft or rotted decking replaced, then new underlayment, flashing, ventilation and roofing.
-
Cleanup and final walkthrough. We clear the yard and driveway and walk the finished roof with you.
We're open Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM, so it's easy to book an inspection around your work schedule.
Paying for a new roof
Two things help most homeowners. First, if storm damage is part of why the roof needs replacing, your homeowner's policy may cover some or all of it, depending on your coverage and deductible. Second, we offer financing for homeowners who'd rather spread the cost out. We'll walk through both during your estimate, and you decide what makes sense for your household.

Shepherdsville roof replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need a replacement or just a repair?
Look at how widespread the problem is. Damage in one spot is usually a repair. Wear across whole slopes, soft decking or repeat leaks usually mean replacement. Our free inspection comes with photos so you can judge for yourself.
What affects the cost of a new roof?
Roof size and pitch, how many old layers come off, how much decking needs replacing, the material you choose, and details like chimneys, skylights and valleys. A free inspection is how you get a written number for your specific house.
How long does a roof replacement take?
It depends on the size and steepness of the roof, the material and the weather. Your written estimate includes the expected timeline before you commit to anything.
Will my insurance pay for a new roof?
If hail or wind damaged the roof, your homeowner's policy may cover part or all of it, depending on your coverage and deductible. Normal wear and age usually aren't covered. We document storm damage with photos and help you through the claim.
Do you replace roofs on rentals and commercial buildings in Shepherdsville?
Yes. Along with homes, we handle commercial roofing, including flat and metal roofs, multi-family buildings, churches and schools.
