Roof repair, inspection and replacement in Louisville, TN

Louisville is one of the towns our Knoxville office knows best. Mobley Brothers Roofing & Renovation has worked on many roofs in Louisville, TN, and most of those visits began the way yours probably will: a homeowner with a leak, a question, or a roof that is getting on in years. Mike Mobley runs our East Tennessee office, and his team handles roof repair, roof inspections and full replacements in Louisville.

What our Louisville job notes show

Our techs post a short note and a photo from job sites, and the Louisville notes read like a catalog of the ways a roof actually fails. Toniel traced leaks to roof valleys on more than one house, and on another he replaced a broken ridge vent and cracked pipe boots. Juvenal repaired a leaking chimney, fixed a roof vent leak, and repaired a storm damaged shingle roof. Don made shingle repairs, looked at a combined roof and chimney leak, and handled shingle, fascia and soffit repairs in a single visit. One roof had been damaged by a squirrel, and Toniel repaired that too.

Replacements show up as well. Mike's name is on shingle roof replacements and on two standing seam metal roof installations in Louisville, and Toniel repaired a flat roof section. The six most recent jobs are pictured at the bottom of this page.

Getting to Louisville from our Hardin Valley office

Our Knoxville office is based in Hardin Valley. Louisville is a town in Blount County, across the Tennessee River from Knox County, and Pellissippi Parkway links the two, which makes it an easy run for our repair trucks. Louisville is one of the 20 communities the Knoxville office serves, along with nearby Maryville and Alcoa; our Maryville page covers that side of the county.

If a project needs a permit, the Town of Louisville publishes a page on zoning permits and building inspection, and Blount County's Building Safety office covers the rest of the county. We will tell you at the estimate whether your job needs one.

Why we start with an inspection

Several of the Louisville jobs are roof inspections, and that is deliberate. Mike's repair techs are repairmen, not salespeople. They get on the roof, and into the attic when they need to, find where the water is really getting in, and photograph it. Much of what looks like a roof leak turns out to be a failed pipe boot, loose flashing, or debris that has held water in a valley. Some of it is not the roof at all: an AC condensate line or a poorly ventilated attic can put water on a ceiling too.

Another customer of our Knoxville office, Katie F., described the visit this way: "They made sure to show me what needed to be done and even sent pictures for my records."

Once the cause is clear, the choice gets simpler. We'll repair when we can and replace when we should. If a repair will hold, we make it. If the roof has two or three years left, we tell you, so you can budget for a replacement instead of being caught off guard by one. Our roof inspection page explains what a visit covers.

Shingles or standing seam metal

For replacements we install architectural asphalt shingles as a GAF Master Elite residential contractor, and we install metal roofing, including the standing seam roofs in the Louisville jobs. Pitch drives the metal choice. On a roof that is steep enough, the options include exposed fastener panels, metal shingles, or standing seam, which costs more and keeps its fasteners hidden. We talk through the tradeoffs on your house, not in the abstract, and our standing seam metal roofing page goes into the systems in more detail.

What a Louisville customer said

Dominic, a Louisville homeowner, wrote about a repair Mike did on his house: "Mike Mobley just completed a roof repair on my home in Louisville. The job was completed on time and more importantly, Mike was extremely honest and fair with his pricing."

He also left advice worth repeating: "I cross-referenced every roofer on the Tennessee Department of Commerce page to check their license status." You can do the same through the state's license verification search. Our Tennessee contractor license number is 59116.

Louisville roofing questions

How often does Mobley Brothers work in Louisville?

Regularly. Our crews are in Louisville regularly, for everything from free roof inspections to standing seam installs, all run out of the Knoxville office in Hardin Valley.

Do you offer free roof inspections in Louisville?

Yes. Our team offers free estimates and free roof inspections, and several of the Louisville jobs are exactly that. We photograph what we find and explain it before recommending anything.

Can you help after a storm damages my roof?

Yes. We assess storm damage, make the repairs, and help with documentation for an insurance claim; the company is a HAAG Certified Inspector for residential roofs. Our emergency line is answered day or night, and when a crew can safely get on the roof depends on the weather.

Who stands behind the work?

Mike and David Mobley, the brothers who founded the company in 2007. We are family owned and veteran owned, BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and fully licensed and insured.

Commercial roofing services in Louisville, TN

One of our Louisville jobs is a flat roof repair, and flat and low slope roofs are where residential and commercial roofing meet. A porch, an addition and a small business building can all carry one, and they fail in their own way: at the seams, at the flashing where the membrane turns up a wall or around a curb, and anywhere water stands long enough to find a weakness.

For commercial buildings we install and service TPO and EPDM membrane systems and apply roof coatings, and the company holds GAF GoldElite Commercial standing alongside its residential GAF Master Elite certification. A coating can add years to a membrane that is dry and still sound. It cannot fix insulation that has already taken on water, and we will tell you that instead of selling you the cheaper option twice.

Commercial work also runs on a different clock than a house. Deliveries, tear off and the noise of the job have to fit around the hours your building is in use, and that belongs in the written proposal rather than in a phone call on the morning the crew shows up. Our commercial roofing page covers TPO, flat roof repair and coatings in more detail.

Roofing contractor in Louisville, TN

Picking a roofing contractor in Louisville comes down to who actually shows up and whether they are still reachable two years later. The techs in our Louisville job notes, Don, Toniel, Juvenal and Mike himself, all work out of the same Knoxville office in Hardin Valley, and the company has stayed in one family since the brothers Mike and David Mobley founded it in 2007.

Four questions are worth asking any contractor before you sign anything. Does the company hold a Tennessee contractor license and carry insurance. Is it certified by the manufacturer whose materials it plans to install, since that certification is what makes an enhanced warranty possible at all. Does the proposal come in writing with the contingencies priced. And will the same company answer the phone if you need to call about the work later. Mobley Brothers is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, family owned and veteran owned, and a GAF Master Elite residential contractor, with the warranty terms spelled out in your written proposal.

None of that guarantees a perfect job, and we are not going to claim it does. What it does mean is that there is a name and an address behind the work in Louisville, and that the people who quoted your roof are the people who will be back if something needs attention.
