Quality craftsmanship for Fort Thomas's established homes. Tower Hill, Highlands, Northeast End — every roof done right, every flashing soldered, every job backed by 29 years of experience.
Fort Thomas is one of Campbell County's most established communities — a city where the homes have character, the lots are mature, and homeowners care about quality. A significant portion of Fort Thomas's housing stock was built between the 1920s and 1940s, particularly in the Tower Hill area and along the city's older residential streets. These homes were constructed to last, and they deserve roofing work that matches that standard.
What separates a quality roof replacement from an average one comes down to the details that most people never see: the flashing. Every chimney, every valley, every pipe penetration, every roof-to-wall junction — those are the points where water finds its way in when the work is done carelessly. We hand-solder every one of those connections using old-school tin man technique. It takes more skill and more time, and it's the reason our roofs don't leak when the ones put on by other contractors do.
Whether your Fort Thomas home needs a full architectural shingle replacement, a targeted repair on aging chimney flashing, or a storm damage assessment for an insurance claim, you'll get the same level of craftsmanship on every job. We've been doing this since 1997 and the standard hasn't changed — do it right or don't do it.
Free inspections, straight quotes, no pressure sales. We work with all major insurance carriers and offer financing if you need it.

Fort Thomas is defined by its residential character — tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and a community that takes pride in how things look. The Tower Hill area carries some of the city's oldest homes, many built between 1920 and 1945, with steep gable roofs, masonry chimneys, and architectural details that set them apart from anything built in recent decades. These homes were constructed with quality — and when they need a new roof, the replacement needs to honor that standard.
The most common failure point we see on Fort Thomas's older homes is the chimney flashing. Original step flashing and counter-flashing from the 1930s and 1940s was done with lead or copper — materials that last decades when properly installed. When it eventually gives way, the replacement needs to be done correctly: new step flashing woven into the shingles, counter-flashing set into the mortar joint, and every seam soldered. Not caulked. Caulk fails in Northern Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycle in a few years. Soldered metal lasts decades.
Fort Thomas also sees its share of hail and wind events moving through the Ohio River valley. Homeowners often underestimate the damage because the shingles look fine from the street — but granule loss from hail impact dramatically shortens shingle life, and small impact cracks let moisture in for years before the damage becomes visible inside. A proper inspection finds this early, when a legitimate insurance claim is still valid.
From the Highlands area to the Northeast End, we've worked on Fort Thomas homes across every price point and age. The expectation is the same on every job: materials that last, flashing that doesn't leak, and craftsmanship the neighborhood deserves.
"Our 1928 home on Tower Hill needed a full replacement and new chimney flashing. Great American understood exactly what our home needed — no shortcuts, soldered flashings done right. The quality of the work matches the quality of the neighborhood."
"Had hail damage on our Northeast End home and wasn't sure where to start with the insurance claim. Shane's team handled everything — attended the adjuster meeting, documented all damage, and the new roof was done in two days. Professional all the way through."
"We'd had three roofers patch our chimney flashing over ten years and it kept leaking. Great American stripped it all out and re-flashed it correctly — soldered step flashing, counter-flashing set into the mortar. Dry first winter in a long time."
Yes — these are some of our favorite projects. Fort Thomas has a tremendous number of well-built homes from that era, especially in the Tower Hill area. We hand-solder all flashings using old-school tin man technique, which is exactly right for chimney flashings and penetration points on this era of construction. Most roofers cut corners on flashing — we don't.
For most Fort Thomas homes we recommend premium architectural shingles with a 30-year or lifetime warranty, paired with proper underlayment, ice and water shield at the eaves, and hand-soldered flashings at every chimney, valley, and penetration. The flashing is where most roofs fail prematurely. Do the flashings right and the roof lasts as long as the shingles are rated.
We attend the adjuster meeting with you and document all damage — roof, gutters, siding, and any moisture damage connected to the roof. We work with all major carriers: State Farm, Allstate, Cincinnati Insurance, Grange, Nationwide, and others. Most storm-damaged roofs end up costing homeowners nothing beyond their deductible.
Yes — this is one of the most common calls we get. Patch jobs with caulk or tar fail because they don't address the actual problem: improperly installed or degraded step flashing. We strip out the old flashing, install new step flashing woven properly into the shingles, set counter-flashing into the mortar joints, and solder every seam. Done right, it doesn't leak again.
