We tie every addition into one continuous shingle roof, with new flashing wherever old and new rooflines meet. Many homes near historic downtown Loudon have porches, sunrooms or rear wings added over the years. Those joints leak most often. A full replacement gives the whole house one matched system again.
Additions often sit at a lower pitch than the main house. Some were built with different decking or no ventilation at all. We check each section for slope, deck condition and airflow. Sections too flat for shingles get a low-slope material instead.
Loudon is the county seat, set along the Tennessee River. River fog and humidity keep some roofs damp on cool mornings. Good attic ventilation helps shingles dry out and last. Our crews reach Loudon from our Maryville office on E Broadway Ave.
Older Loudon homes may also have brick chimneys that need new flashing. We check mortar joints and the cricket behind wide chimneys. Where layers of tar have been used as a patch, we strip them off. Clean metal flashing then goes in, and the new shingles lap over it. You see each step in our photos.

Homes close to downtown Loudon often have street parking and small yards. Our crew from the Maryville office parks the trailer at the curb and keeps the sidewalk open. We cover porch floors, railings and front steps with drop cloths. Old trees near the house get a look before we set ladders. Neighbors know when tear-off starts and ends each day.
Older Loudon homes often have shallow eaves and little room for soffit vents. In that case, we look at low-profile intake vents near the roof edge. Pick a color that suits the era of the house and its trim. For homes under big shade trees, a line with algae resistance helps keep slopes clean. We bring samples for a side-by-side comparison.
That joint is where two rooflines and two building eras meet. Flashing there is often old, missing or covered with tar. Water runs behind it during heavy rain. We remove the old patchwork, install new step and counter flashing, and shingle both roofs as one system.
Yes. Architectural shingles come in muted colors that suit older homes. We bring samples to compare against your brick, trim and porch. We also keep the original roof lines, eaves and overhangs. The new roof looks like it belongs to the house.

Historic homes in Loudon look right with heavyweight architectural or slate-look designer shingles in muted colors. River homes need algae-resistant granules and good attic airflow. Newer houses outside downtown can use a standard laminate. Every option pairs with fresh flashing at chimneys, porches and wall joints.
Older homes near the courthouse often have tall chimneys, porches and wings from different eras. Those features need careful flashing and sometimes a cricket behind wide chimneys. We look at each joint before choosing a shingle. That way, the new roof works as one system from front to back.
Homes outside downtown and toward Tellico Village tend to be newer. Their roofs are larger but simpler, with plywood decks in good shape. The focus there falls on shingle grade, vent balance and color. We bring samples so you can compare them against brick or siding in daylight.
