Roofing and Restoration in Frankfort, KY

Frankfort takes its name from Frank's Ford, a Kentucky River crossing named for settler Stephen Frank, and it has been Kentucky's capital since 1792. Some of the state's oldest landmarks are here, including Liberty Hall, built in 1796, the Old Governor's Mansion and Gideon Shryock's Greek Revival Old Capitol.

The Kentucky River makes an S-turn through town, with Downtown and South Frankfort facing each other in the valley, Bellepoint on the west bank and suburbs on the hills to the east and west. South Frankfort, the city's largest historic residential neighborhood, has about 660 buildings, mostly from the late 1800s and early 1900s: large Queen Anne houses between Logan and Steele streets, small frame homes once lived in by distillery and river workers, and Craftsman bungalows near the Capitol. Beyond the center are subdivisions such as Indian Hills, Tanglewood, Thornhill and Cardinal Hills, and past those, farms across Franklin County.

Falls City Contracting is a veteran-owned, family-operated contractor in Louisville. Our crew handles roofs, gutters, siding, chimneys and brick for Frankfort homes, along with barns and outbuildings out in the county.

Historic Homes Along the River

The most common house type in South Frankfort is the T-plan, and many older Frankfort homes have steep roofs, several gables, porches and brick chimneys. All those intersections need good flashing, and that's where we start when we trace a leak. On a historic house we repair what's worth keeping, match materials as closely as we can, and use mortar suited to old brick when we tuckpoint.

In the subdivisions on the hills, many homes are on their first or second roof, and wind on higher ground can work shingles loose along ridges and edges. We'll tell you plainly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can give you the product name, color and spec sheet to include with your request.

Wind, Hills and Farm Roofs

Storms that reach Frankfort often hit the farms around it too. Before dawn on December 6, 2021, an EF-1 tornado with winds of 85 to 90 mph touched down on Manley Leestown Road, about two miles north of Frankfort. It tore up the roof of a 40-by-60-foot barn, twisted and uprooted dozens of trees, and damaged a two-story house on Shadrick Ferry Road, throwing large sections of roof 60 yards.

If a storm opens up a house or barn roof, our crew can tarp it to keep water out until it can be repaired. Once the weather clears, we'll inspect the property and document what we find with photos. If you decide to file an insurance claim, we can offer help navigating the claims process.
