Shelbyville, KY Roofing

Brick home with a shingle roof by Falls City Contracting in Kentucky

Roofing and Restoration in Shelbyville, KY

Shelbyville was founded in 1792 and sits along I-64 between Louisville and Frankfort. It's known as the American Saddlebred Capital of the World, and with dozens of Saddlebred farms in the area, barns and outbuildings are as much a part of the landscape as houses.


Downtown and East Shelbyville have Federal-era brick buildings along with homes and storefronts from the late 1800s and early 1900s. On the edges of town, established subdivisions like Wheatfield, Fairfield Pointe and The Willows sit alongside newer neighborhoods such as Old Heritage, Discovery Point and Ardmore Crossing, where homes are still going up.


Falls City Contracting is a veteran-owned, family-operated contractor in Louisville. Our crew works across Shelby County on shingle and metal roofs, barns and outbuildings, gutters, siding and masonry.


Farms, Barns and Metal Roofs


Across Shelby County, a lot of roofs are on horse barns, run-in sheds and equipment buildings, and metal is common on those. More farmhouses have metal roofs now, too.


Metal holds up well, but it still needs attention: screws back out and their washers wear, seams and cut edges can rust, and hail can dent panels. We repair metal roofs and install new ones on homes and outbuildings, and we can look at the farmhouse and every outbuilding in one visit so you get one clear plan for the property.

Older Buildings Downtown


Older homes near Main Street often have brick walls and chimneys, tall rooflines and sometimes built-in gutters. Downtown commercial buildings often have low-slope roofs behind a parapet wall, where flashing and drainage matter most. On buildings like these, we look at the roof, flashing, chimney and brick together, so a repair in one spot doesn't just move the problem somewhere else.

Wind and Hail Across Open Pasture


With open fields around much of town, wind has little to slow it down. During the March 3, 2023 windstorm, weather stations in Shelby County recorded gusts of 70 mph east of Chestnut Grove and 65 mph near Simpsonville. Wind like that peels back metal panel edges, loosens ridge caps and strips shingles, and spring hail can dent metal roofing, gutters and siding across a whole farm.


If a storm tears a roof open, our crew can tarp it to keep the weather out. Then we'll inspect the roof and document the damage with photos. If you decide to file an insurance claim, we can offer help navigating the claims process.
