Independence is one of Northern Kentucky's fastest-growing communities — and one where quality roofing matters. Great American Roofing brings 29 years of experience and old-school craftsmanship to every Independence job.
Independence has transformed over the past 20 years from a quiet Kenton County community into one of Northern Kentucky's most sought-after addresses. The growth along KY-17 and the developments spreading out toward Bristow Road have brought thousands of new homes — and thousands of roofs that will need professional attention as they age into their second decade.
Great American Roofing works throughout Independence regularly. We see the full spectrum: new construction quality control, roofs from the early-2000s growth wave that are hitting their 20-year mark, and occasional storm damage from the severe weather that rolls through Kenton County. On every job, regardless of age or scope, we hand-solder every flashing — valleys, chimneys, pipe boots, wall junctions. It's the one thing that separates a roof that lasts from one that leaks in five years.
Shane has been roofing since 1997. That's 29 years of real-world experience — not a franchise with a call center, not a storm chaser from out of state, but a family business that serves this region year-round and stands behind its work. We're licensed and insured in Kentucky and we give you a straight, honest estimate with no pressure.

We know Independence's neighborhoods well — from the established areas near the historic downtown and the Kenton County courthouse to the newer subdivisions off Bristow Road, Madison Pike, and KY-17. Many of the homes built during Independence's mid-2000s growth boom are now approaching or past their 20-year shingle life expectancy.
Independence homeowners should also be aware that Kenton County experiences its share of severe weather, particularly in spring and early summer. Hail events that look minor can still cause significant granule loss, reducing the shingles' UV protection and accelerating deterioration. A post-storm inspection is always worth scheduling — our inspections are free and there's no obligation to proceed.
"Our house on Bristow Road needed a full replacement. Great American gave us the most detailed estimate of all three contractors we got quotes from. The price was competitive and the work quality was exceptional."
"They caught a ventilation problem during our inspection that would have caused major issues down the road. Fixed it as part of the replacement. Honest, thorough, and skilled."
Yes, if you haven't had a professional inspection recently, now is the time. Standard 30-year architectural shingles on homes from that era often perform well for 20–25 years depending on ventilation, pitch, and weather exposure. A free inspection will tell you exactly where your roof stands and whether you're looking at a few more years or an imminent replacement.
When a roof has a chimney, valley, pipe boot, or skylight, there's a metal flashing that bridges the gap between the roofing material and the penetration. Most teams today seal those with caulk or lap them with sealant tape. We solder them — using heat and solder to create a permanent, bonded, watertight seal. It's more labor-intensive but it's the reason our roofs don't develop the chronic leak points that send homeowners back to their roofer every few years.
Yes. We serve all of Kenton County — Nicholasville Road corridor, Taylor Mill, Edgewood, Villa Hills, and rural Kenton County properties. If you're in the general Independence area, call us.
Most single-family homes in Independence take 1–2 days. We confirm the timeline when we give you the estimate. We don't leave partial jobs — once we pull off your old roof, we're committed to completing installation before we leave the site.
No cost, no obligation. Honest assessment and a fair quote — guaranteed.
