Roof repair · Richmond · Lexington, KY

We find the leak. Not a reason to sell you a roof.

We trace the water to where it gets in, fix that, and hand you the photos and a written verdict. If the roof does not need us yet, the verdict says so.

Call or text (859) 310-1209. A call gets the fastest answer.

Service 01 · Leaks and flashing

Most leaks start where the roof meets something.

Chimneys, pipe boots, vents and wall flashing. We reseal and reflash them, then photograph the work from the roof so you see it without climbing up.

Service 02 · Storm damage

Dried in fast. Documented straight.

Tarp-up and emergency dry-in, then dated photos your adjuster can use. We do not inflate a claim, which is why the documentation holds up.

Service 03 · Commercial and flat

Coated, when it does not need replacing.

TPO, EPDM and PVC repair and coating for storefronts, offices and rental buildings.

Service 04 · Carpentry and rot

The wood behind the gutter is where a cheap fix fails.

Decking, soffit and fascia. The parts the weather reaches first, repaired before the roof on top of them pays for the delay.

  2. Get a straight answer. What it probably is, what fixing it involves, and what it costs. Sometimes that answer is “it does not need us yet.”
  3. We fix it and prove it. Photos before and after, and written findings that are yours to keep either way.

The roof line item that holds up a closing.

The inspection lands, there is a line that says “roof,” and everyone wants a number by Friday. A replacement-first roofer answers that the same way every time.

Central Roof Repair is owned by Marcos Gil. The verdict is written the way a lender, an appraiser and the other agent need to read it.

Common questions

Straight answers.

How much does roof repair cost?

Every roof is different, so we do not quote blind. Send a photo and the town and you get a call back with a real number. If it does not need work yet, we tell you that instead.

Do you repair, or does it always end up a replacement?

Repair is the default. A replacement is what we recommend when the deck or the field is past repairing, and you get the photos showing why. You also get the list of what does not need fixing.

Are you insured?

Yes, and coverage documentation is available on request. Ask when you call.

Can USDA help pay for a roof repair?

Maybe. USDA Rural Development’s Section 504 program makes repair loans to low and very-low income homeowners in eligible rural areas, and grants to homeowners 62 and older. We work with the London office and can walk you through it. How it works.

Where are you based?

Beattyville, Kentucky. We work Richmond and Madison County, Lexington and Fayette County, Berea, Irvine, Winchester and the eastern Kentucky towns on our service area page.

A roofing company in Kentucky that repairs first

Most roofing companies in Kentucky make their living on replacements, so the inspection is a sales call and the answer is a new roof. Central Roof Repair works the other way around. We are a repair-first roofing company based in Beattyville, serving Richmond and Madison County, Lexington and Fayette County, Berea, Irvine, Winchester and the eastern Kentucky towns on our service area page. Shingle, metal, flat and commercial roofs; leaks, flashing, storm damage, gutters and the carpentry under them.

What you get on every job is the same: photos of what we found, a written repair-or-replace verdict you can hold next to any other roofer’s quote, and a real arrival window instead of a slogan. If the roof does not need work yet, the verdict says so.
