If you are determined to get a roof that is worth your money, your choice of metal roofing is excellent. Finding a dedicated metal roofing contractor in Paris with a true expertise in metal roofing can be a challenge.
At Roof Solutions, we believe in metal roofs. In fact, we don’t install any other kind. We bring this single-minded dedication and focus to every roof we install.
As a metal roofing contractor in Paris that believes in customer service, we will return your calls, show up on time, and keep you informed. With Roof Solutions, you get more than our expertise with metal roofs. You get a metal roofer who puts you first so you have peace of mind and a great experience.

We install all new flashing around chimneys, dormers, etc.
We install new boots around vent pipes.
We use only #1 Premium Grade metal that will not chalk and fade.
Paris is the county seat of Bourbon County — a historic Bluegrass city of about 10,000 people situated 18 miles northeast of Lexington on the Stoner Fork of the Licking River. It’s one of the oldest communities in Kentucky, surrounded by some of the most storied horse farms in the country, and home to landmarks like the 1788 Duncan Tavern and a proud connection to Secretariat, the legendary racehorse who was bred nearby at Meadow Stable. Paris has small-town character and deep roots.
Those roots show in the housing stock. The median home in Paris was built in 1979, and fully a quarter of the city’s homes predate 1940. That means Paris has one of the oldest and most historically layered housing stocks in our service area — and one where the roofing situation is often complex. Older homes may have had two or three roof replacements already, and many are due again. Historic properties need a contractor who understands how to work with older structures, flash unusual penetrations properly, and install a roof that lasts rather than just covers. That’s exactly what we do.
At Roof Solutions, metal roofing is all we install. We know the details that matter — the furring strips, the flashing at every penetration, the pipe boots, the premium-grade panels. When we install a roof in Paris, it’s built to last.
Paris sits in the heart of the Bluegrass region — Central Kentucky’s humid subtropical climate zone. Four full seasons means four full seasons of roof stress: summer heat and humidity, fall rains, winter ice and freeze-thaw cycles, and a spring storm season that can be severe.
With so many Paris homes built in the mid-20th century or earlier, accumulated moisture damage is a real concern. Years of cycling through wet winters and humid summers takes a toll on roof decks and flashing points. When we replace an aging roof, we inspect the deck thoroughly and address any rot or water damage before installing the new metal system — ensuring the roof that goes on top has a solid foundation beneath it.
Central Kentucky winters bring regular freeze-thaw cycling that is particularly hard on older roofing materials. Asphalt shingles expand and contract with each temperature swing, cracking and losing granules progressively. Metal roofing handles thermal movement by design, and its smooth surface sheds snow and ice naturally — reducing ice dam formation at eaves that causes water to back up under roofing materials and into the home.
Spring is Central Kentucky’s most active storm season. Bourbon County sees significant thunderstorm activity with periodic hail events that can crack and bruise asphalt shingles in a single afternoon. 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.
Paris summers are warm and humid, with temperatures regularly reaching the mid-to-upper 80s. Asphalt shingles absorb solar heat and push it into the attic, driving up cooling costs all summer. Metal roofing reflects that heat, and the ventilating air gap created by our furring strip installation improves airflow under the panels — keeping attic temperatures lower and reducing the load on your air conditioning system.
We install metal roofs on Paris homes of all ages and styles — from pre-war homes near downtown on Main Street and 7th Street to mid-century ranches and newer builds on the city’s edges. 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, whether it’s a historic property or a more recent build. Every residential installation includes furring strips, all new flashing at every penetration point, and new pipe boots throughout.
Paris and Bourbon County have a mix of small businesses, agricultural operations, and light commercial properties that need roofing built for the long term. Metal roofing delivers exactly that — decades of service with minimal maintenance, strong performance in all weather conditions, and a clean appearance that holds up year after year. We handle commercial projects throughout Bourbon County with the same crew and quality standards as our residential work.
If your current asphalt roof is aging out — or if you’re dealing with leaks, failing flashings, or a roof that’s been patched one too many times — we manage the full replacement. That means removal of the existing material, thorough inspection of the deck, and complete installation of your new metal system with all new trim and flashing. No reusing old components that should be replaced. In many cases we can install over existing shingles using furring strips, which reduces tear-off cost and waste.
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 — and it’s often an excellent choice for older homes. Metal roofing is lightweight compared to tile and no heavier than asphalt shingles, so it works well on older structures. We inspect the roof deck carefully before installation to address any rot or structural issues, and our furring strip method creates a clean, solid base for the new panels regardless of the condition of the existing substrate.
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. For historic Paris homes, we’re happy to offer recommendations on colors that complement older architectural styles.
Yes. We serve all of Paris and the broader Bourbon County area. Our base in Cynthiana is just about 20 miles from Paris, making Bourbon County one of our closest service areas. We don’t charge travel fees for estimates anywhere in our service area.
