Frankfort's hillside homes and river-valley bungalows take a beating from heavy rain and ice, and that shows up on roofs all over town. From the historic blocks near the Old State Capitol to the shaded streets off Louisville Road, the housing stock is old, steep, and full of character, which means roofing here is never a one-size-fits-all job.
Homeowners in the 40601 ZIP code call Lexington Metal Roofing because we understand how water moves on these lots, how ice dams form at the eaves, and why so many of these roofs need leak repair and new gutters rather than a full tear-off. We are based in Lexington and serve Frankfort and the surrounding areas, and we bring the same crew and the same standards to every job.
Metal Roofing in Frankfort (40601)
Frankfort sits in a river valley with hills rising on both sides, and that terrain shapes every roofing job we do here. The older homes near downtown often have steep pitches, narrow side yards, and mature trees that drop limbs and leaves onto the roof, while the hillside properties on the south and west sides deal with runoff that can overwhelm gutters and erode soil at the foundation. We see a lot of failed fasteners, separated seams, and flashing gaps on older metal roofs, plus ice damming at the eaves when freeze-thaw cycles hit. The karst limestone under much of the area also means drainage matters, because water that pools near a foundation can find its way into a sinkhole or a basement. On top of that, historic district design review can restrict panel profiles and colors, so we check those rules before we order materials.
Our team has worked on everything from standing seam and corrugated panels to metal shingles and stone-coated steel, and we have handled commercial and agricultural buildings on the farms outside town. We know the difference between a repair that will hold and one that will not, and we tell you which one you are looking at.

How a Job Works in Frankfort
Step 1: you call us at (859) 785-4928 or request a free estimate, and we schedule an on-site assessment. We look at the roof, the flashing, the gutters, and the access, and we give you a written scope with pricing before any work starts.
Step 2: we pull the permit if one is required, coordinate with any HOA or historic review, and schedule the work. On tight lots near downtown or on steep hillside drives, we plan material staging carefully so we do not block neighbors or damage landscaping. We protect the property, remove the old roofing, and install the new system to the manufacturer's specs.
Step 3: we clean up every day and do a final walkthrough with you. We haul away all debris, check the gutters and downspouts, and make sure you know what was done and what to watch for. We leave your property clean and your roof watertight.
Pricing in Frankfort depends on the size of the roof, the pitch, the access, the condition of the decking, and how urgent the work is. As a ballpark, metal roof installation starts at $8 per square foot, standing seam at $10, metal roof replacement at $9, and a retrofit over existing shingles at $7. Repairs start at $450, leak repair at $450, screw replacement and re-fastening at $750, and gutters for metal roofs at $9 per linear foot. Flashing and chimney or skylight repair starts at $600, and snow guards and ice protection start at $1,200. We give you a free estimate so you know the real number before you commit. Call (859) 785-4928 to schedule.
