We’ve been climbing Lyndon roofs since 1984. Pete Navarro started this company with the belief that a roof should be built to outlast the storms, not just survive the sale. Lyndon’s mid-century neighborhoods - the ranch homes off New La Grange Road, the split-levels near Lyndon Lane, the tree-lined streets around Westport Road - they’re familiar territory for our crews. We know the low-slope rooflines, the original skip-sheeting, the mature oaks that shade north-facing slopes into moss traps. That knowledge matters when we’re tearing off three layers of asphalt and finding what’s actually underneath.

Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Lyndon
Full Roof Replacement
Lyndon’s housing stock demands a methodical approach. The 40222 ZIP is dominated by mid-century ranch and split-level homes built from the late 1940s through the 1970s, many with low-slope rooflines, original skip-sheeting or thin plank decking, and minimal attic ventilation by modern standards. These construction details make tear-offs more labor-intensive and frequently reveal rotted decking that drives up materials costs compared to post-2000 tract builds nearby. We strip to the deck, replace what’s compromised, and install proper ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys - the protection these homes should have had from the start.
On a ranch home near the Lyndon City Center on New La Grange Road, we found the north-facing roof slope had hidden moss-covered decking decay beneath algae-stained shingles. We tore off three layers of asphalt, replaced 200 sq. ft. of rotted plywood, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ with ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys to guard against Ohio Valley ice storms. The homeowner told us three other companies had quoted over the old shingles without ever setting foot on the roof.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt remains the practical choice for most Lyndon homes, and we install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning lines with proper wind ratings for Kentucky’s severe weather. Spring hail tracking up the Ohio Valley accelerates granule loss on already-aged shingles, so we specify impact-resistant options where the budget allows. North-facing slopes on Lyndon’s ranch homes - shaded year-round by mature oaks and maples that have grown in over 50-plus years - develop persistent algae streaking and moss growth that homeowners often dismiss as cosmetic, but which signals moisture retention actively shortening shingle life and hiding soft spots in the underlying decking beneath. We address the cause, not just the symptom.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing works on Lyndon’s low-slope ranch roofs when properly specified and installed with appropriate underlayment and fastening patterns. The standing seam systems we install shed ice loads better than asphalt, a genuine advantage during Louisville’s periodic winter ice storms. Metal also eliminates the algae and moss problems that plague shaded north-facing slopes. We evaluate each structure for framing capacity, existing decking condition, and local code requirements before recommending metal - it’s not the right choice for every mid-century home, but when it fits, it fits for decades.
New Construction
For new builds and major additions in Lyndon and the surrounding area, our Roof Replacement & Installation team designs systems from the deck up with modern ventilation, proper ice-and-water shield, and materials matched to the structure’s exposure and the owner’s timeline. We coordinate with builders on scheduling to keep projects moving, and we document every phase with photos for the homeowner’s records.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lyndon
We are authorized installers for seven manufacturer brands: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. For Lyndon homeowners, this means no substitutions, no “equivalent” materials you didn’t approve, and warranty coverage that actually transfers. We stock common GAF and Atlas accessories locally to avoid delays when a Lyndon job needs additional ridge vent, starter strip, or ice-and-water shield mid-project. Most full replacements use materials ordered to spec for your roof, but our local inventory keeps repairs and tune-ups moving without waiting on freight.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Lyndon Homes
- Ice damming along low-slope rooflines. Original skip-sheeting in Lyndon’s ranch homes often lacks adequate ice-and-water shield, and the shallow pitch slows drainage. Freeze-thaw cycling pushes water under shingles and into the house. We see this every winter after Ohio Valley ice storms.
- Moss and algae on north-facing slopes. The mature tree canopy that makes Lyndon attractive also creates permanent shade on northern exposures. Moss traps moisture against aging shingles, accelerating granule loss and rotting the decking underneath. It looks like dirt. It acts like cancer.
- Inadequate attic ventilation in mid-century homes. Builders in the 1950s and 60s didn’t design for modern insulation levels. Trapped heat overheats shingles from below, causing premature curling and reducing wind-load resistance. A roof that should last 25 years fails in 15.
- Multiple shingle layers hiding decay. Lyndon’s homes are on their second or third roof cycle. Each new layer added over the old masks rotting decking, makes tear-off heavier and more expensive, and voids most manufacturer warranties. We tear off to the deck. Every time.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Lyndon, KY
Lyndon’s mid-century housing stock affects pricing in ways newer neighborhoods don’t. The original construction methods - skip-sheeting, thin plank decking, minimal ventilation - mean tear-offs regularly reveal more damage than a surface inspection suggests. We price for what we find, with no surprises.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Lyndon
Yes, the City of Lyndon requires a building permit for full roof replacements, and inspections are typically required at rough-in and final completion. We handle the permit application, scheduling, and inspector coordination as part of our standard project management - you won’t need to visit city hall or interpret code requirements yourself. The permit fee is usually included in our written estimate. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll confirm current Lyndon requirements for your specific project.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials, not damage from extreme weather events, but proper installation with ice-and-water shield and adequate ventilation significantly reduces the likelihood of ice-storm-related failures. We document our installation methods with photos to support any warranty claim, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers workmanship issues regardless of weather. For Lyndon’s freeze-thaw exposure, we always recommend full ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys - it’s the difference between a roof that survives the winter and one that doesn’t. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss warranty coverage for your specific material choice.
Yes, metal roofing can be installed on Lyndon’s low-slope ranch roofs when the structure has adequate decking integrity and the system is specified with appropriate underlayment, fastening patterns, and flashing details for shallow pitches. We evaluate each home individually - some mid-century framing needs reinforcement, and some existing decking is too compromised to support metal’s different load characteristics. When metal is the right choice, it eliminates the algae and moss problems common on Lyndon’s shaded north slopes and sheds ice loads better than asphalt. Call (844) 563-1816 for a structural assessment and honest recommendation.
North-facing slopes receive minimal direct sunlight, and Lyndon’s mature oak and maple canopy - grown in over 50-plus years since these homes were built - keeps them shaded year-round. That persistent moisture creates ideal conditions for Gloeocapsa magma, the algae that causes black streaks, and often moss that traps water against shingles. The algae itself is unsightly, but the moisture retention it signals actively rots underlying decking and shortens shingle life. We specify algae-resistant shingles with copper granules for these exposures and address ventilation to reduce the conditions that promote growth. Call (844) 563-1816 if your north slope is streaking - we’ll show you what’s actually underneath.
Full replacement is usually the better choice when your roof is past 20 years old, has multiple layers of shingles, shows widespread curling or granule loss, or has leaked in more than one location - all common in Lyndon’s mid-century housing stock. Spot repairs make sense for isolated wind damage or a single flashing failure on a roof with otherwise solid decking and reasonable remaining life. During our free inspection, we photograph every slope, measure remaining shingle thickness, test decking integrity, and show you exactly what we found. No pressure, no scare tactics - just the facts, and our honest recommendation. Call (844) 563-1816 to schedule your inspection.
