Our Story
A Family Business Built on Integrity and Hard Work
Boots on Roofs began as a response to the shortcuts and high-pressure tactics common in the roofing industry. Ken Morris, after years as a Sales Manager at Advanced Home Services, saw the risks homeowners faced with contractors who relied on drones, demanded high deposits, or pushed metal roofing that often failed within a decade. Refusing to follow the crowd, Ken built a company that insists on physical inspections and total transparency. His son, Josh, manages installs and site photography, keeping the business firmly rooted in family values. Our lead installers, like Alfonso, have been with us for years, ensuring every project is handled by skilled professionals who care about quality over speed. Serving communities in Central Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee, from Berea and London to Knoxville and Farragut, we are proud to be the trusted roofing company residents call for emergency repairs, storm restoration, and full roof replacements.
Our Difference
Hands-On Work, Honest Pricing, and Proven Results
We are not a faceless franchise or a sales-first operation. Our team stands on every roof we inspect, using HAAG-certified expertise to find leaks and hidden damage that drones miss. We replace every component during a roof replacement: pipe boots, ridge vents, drip edges, and more. Our materials are chosen for their 50-year performance, not just for cost. We educate homeowners about the pitfalls of barn-style metal roofing, explaining how rubber grommets and loose screws can lead to leaks in just 8 years. Our pricing is upfront and fair. A full 6-inch gutter and Bulldog guard system runs about $1,000, while competitors charge several times more for just the guards. No job is too small: we gladly take on minor repairs, which many roofers refuse. Our 24/7 emergency support means you always have help when you need it, whether you live in a historic Richmond neighborhood or near the lakes of Tellico Village.
