Expert Deck Construction in Somerset, KY

Thoroughbred Roofing handles deck construction for Somerset, KY homeowners from the ground up. We assess your yard, plan the layout, and build a structure sized and framed to meet Kentucky Residential Code requirements. Kentucky sits in a transitional climate with four distinct seasons, so every deck we build accounts for freeze-thaw cycles, seasonal moisture, and summer heat that can stress poorly built structures over time. Footings are set at the correct depth for local frost conditions. Ledger connections are properly flashed and anchored to resist both vertical and lateral loads. Framing, joists, posts, and railings are all built to carry real loads safely. Whether you want a ground-level platform off your back door or a raised deck that steps down to your yard, we design the structure to fit your property and your household's needs. Call Thoroughbred Roofing to schedule a site visit and get a clear plan for your Somerset deck project.

Response to owner: In the owners response it makes it appear it is possible that it could be a plumbing issue. It was confirmed by a plumber that there were no plumbing issues. So the roof was the cause of the leak. EDIT: They contacted me after seeing my review and have repaired the water spot on my ceiling. They also had my roof inspected again to ensure no further defects of new roof. Poor communication and my roof was leaking a couple weeks after the replacement. They did come back and look at roof leak, but they left without talking to me. I have not been able to get a response about getting my ceiling fixed where there is now water damage. I also have yet to receive the paper work about my warranty.

We called Thoroughbred for a quote and Shawn came out and gave us a very reasonable quote. Much less than the other quotes we got actually. We were super impressed when the crew showed up and showed out and did an amazing job! We highly recommend this company to our friends and family!

Was referred to this company by a friend of mine after the insurance company denied my claim and am very happy I made the call. They were able to secure me a full approval and then did an excellent job on the install. Always had issues with our chimney flashing but they got it all changed out (with copper) and supplied us with plenty of pics from during the install. Great communication and attention to detail. Would highly recommend them, especially if you need help with a claim.

had our roof replaced and boy does it look good. Shawn Clark made my experience so easy and took a lot of stress out of my life.

I love how they didn’t push anything on us. Just gave us the facts and options. If you’re looking for a roofing company that communicates and actually shows up when they say, go with these guys.
