Dillon Roofing and Remodeling installs new construction roofing on new homes for builders. Louisville sits at the center of our service area, which takes in Jefferson, Bullitt and Oldham Counties. This is ongoing work for us. On a new build, the roof goes on soon after the framing is done.

The roof framing goes up first, and a deck of wood panels covers it. The roof covering then goes on over that deck, with underlayment beneath it. Drip edge and flashing go in as the roof goes on.
With the roof on, rain stays off the framing and the floors. A finished roof is a big part of drying in the house. That means closing it to the weather, so the work inside can move ahead. The roof comes early on a builder's schedule for that reason.
Louisville weather is one reason that step matters. The Louisville airport averages about 48 inches of rain and melted snow a year, per NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals. Measurable rain or snow falls on about 125 days of a normal year. Every month averages more than 3 inches.
Kentucky has one code for new homes across the state, the Kentucky Residential Code. It is built on the International Residential Code, with the state's own changes. A builder must meet it even where no local inspection program exists. Roof coverings go on per that code and the maker's installation instructions.
Kentucky's version has its own drip edge rule for shingle roofs. Drip edge is the strip along the roof edge that keeps water from running back under the shingles. It goes at the eaves and the gables, with pieces overlapped at least 2 inches. The state also accepts coil stock bent on site, or fascia trim, that forms the same drip line.
Wind sets more of the rules, with a 115 mph design wind speed for every Kentucky county. Asphalt shingles must meet the wind class the code sets for that speed. The packaging must carry a label showing that rating. Each strip shingle needs at least four fasteners, or more if the maker calls for it.
Our new construction roofing work covers Louisville and the counties around it. In Jefferson County, that includes towns like Jeffersontown, Middletown, Lyndon and St. Matthews. It also takes in Shepherdsville and Mount Washington in Bullitt County, and La Grange and Crestwood in Oldham County. Oldham County issues hundreds of new single-family home permits a year, its building reports show.
Permit rules for a new home depend on where it sits. Louisville Metro's Construction Review division oversees new construction across Jefferson County, outside Jeffersontown. Jeffersontown and Mount Washington run their own building departments. Elsewhere, Bullitt County Planning and Zoning or the Oldham County Inspections Office is the place to ask.
