We install new boots around vent pipes.
We use only #1 Premium Grade metal that will not chalk and fade.
Nicholasville is the county seat of Jessamine County and one of Kentucky’s fastest-growing mid-sized cities — a community of more than 33,000 people situated just 12 miles south of Lexington along US-27. It’s surrounded by the rolling hills and horse farms that define the Bluegrass region, with the Kentucky River gorge to the south and Brannon Crossing’s retail corridor to the north. It’s a community where people put down roots — family-oriented, well-schooled, and growing steadily.
The median home construction year in Nicholasville is 1991, which means a large share of the housing stock is now 30 to 35 years old — right in the window when asphalt shingle roofs typically reach the end of their service life. Many Nicholasville homeowners who replaced their original shingles once in the 2000s are now facing the same decision again. That’s the point where more and more homeowners make the switch to metal — not because it’s the cheapest option upfront, but because it’s the last roof they’ll ever need to buy.
At Roof Solutions, metal roofing is all we install. Every member of our crew works on metal roofs every day. We know the details that matter and the shortcuts that cause premature failure. When we install a roof in Nicholasville, it’s built to last.
Nicholasville sits in Central Kentucky’s humid subtropical climate zone — the same weather pattern as Lexington, just a few miles to the south. Four full seasons means four full seasons of roof stress, and asphalt shingles bear the brunt of all of it.
Central Kentucky receives around 45 inches of precipitation annually with no dry season. That sustained moisture exposure is hard on asphalt — it accelerates granule loss, promotes moss and algae growth, and creates progressive leak risk at every seam and flashing point. Metal roofing sheds water immediately, doesn’t absorb moisture, and resists the organic growth that shortens shingle life in Kentucky’s humid climate.
Jessamine County winters bring regular freeze-thaw cycling — temperatures swinging above and below freezing throughout the season. Each cycle expands and contracts asphalt shingles, cracking the material and loosening granules over time. Metal roofing handles thermal movement by design, and its smooth surface sheds snow and ice naturally, reducing the ice dam formation at eaves that drives water up under roofing materials and into the home.
Spring is Central Kentucky’s most active storm season. Nicholasville and Jessamine County see significant thunderstorm activity with periodic hail events that can crack and dent asphalt shingles in a single storm. Premium steel roofing panels resist impact damage far better than asphalt, and many homeowners find their insurance premiums drop after switching to metal due to its superior impact resistance rating.
Nicholasville summers are warm and humid, with highs regularly reaching the mid-to-upper 80s. Asphalt shingles absorb solar heat and push it into the attic, driving up cooling costs throughout the summer. Metal roofing reflects that heat, and the ventilating air gap created by our furring strip installation method improves airflow under the panels — keeping attic temperatures lower and reducing the load on your air conditioning system.
We install metal roofs on Nicholasville homes of all ages and styles — from older homes near downtown on Main Street and Maple Street to newer subdivisions off Wilmore Road and the growing developments along US-27. Both our standing seam and classic ribbed systems come in a wide range of colors so your new roof works with your home’s architecture. Every residential installation includes furring strips, all new flashing at every penetration point, and new pipe boots throughout.
Nicholasville’s commercial base has grown significantly alongside its population. From retail and medical facilities near Brannon Crossing to light industrial properties and office buildings throughout Jessamine County, we install commercial metal roofing built to perform for decades with minimal maintenance. Same crew, same standards as our residential work — no outsourcing, no subcontractors.
If your current asphalt roof is aging out, we manage the full replacement — removal of existing material, inspection of the roof deck for rot or water damage, and complete installation of your new metal system with all new trim and flashing. In many cases we can install over existing shingles using furring strips, which reduces tear-off cost and waste. We’ll inspect your roof and give you honest guidance on what makes sense for your home.
We’re a locally owned Kentucky roofing contractor, not a national franchise. Here’s what that means for you:
“Excellent contractor experience! From first call to job finished. Every step of the way I was kept informed. Communication was excellent. I had several change orders and they were able to accommodate me every step of the way. I felt I got excellent value for my money. Pricing was very fair.” – Randy S., Cynthiana, KY

The metal we install carries a 40-year warranty. In Central Kentucky’s climate, properly installed metal roofs routinely last 50 years or more. The determining factor is installation quality — furring strips, correct flashing at every penetration, and quality fasteners are what separate a roof that lasts generations from one that fails in a decade.
Yes — better than any alternative. Metal roofing handles snow loads, sheds ice efficiently, and doesn’t degrade under freeze-thaw cycles the way asphalt does. Standing seam panels with concealed fasteners are especially effective at preventing ice dam problems common on older Nicholasville homes with aging asphalt roofs.
In most cases, yes. We can install your new metal roof over existing shingles using furring strips to create a proper base — this also adds a beneficial air gap that improves ventilation and insulation performance. We always inspect the roof deck first to check for any rot or water damage that needs to be addressed before we install.
The upfront investment is higher than asphalt shingles, but a properly installed metal roof lasts 2–3 times longer. When you account for avoided replacement costs, lower energy bills, reduced maintenance, and potential insurance savings, metal typically wins decisively on total cost over the life of the roof. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you can evaluate the full picture for your specific home.
We offer a wide range of colors for both standing seam and classic ribbed metal roofing. We bring physical samples to your home so you can see exactly how a color looks against your siding, trim, and brick before committing. We’re happy to offer a recommendation on what works well with the home styles common throughout Nicholasville and Jessamine County.
