Chuckey, TN service area
Out in the farm country between Jonesborough and Greeneville, White's Roofing Co is the family roofing company in Chuckey, TN folks can call for shingle and metal roofs, roof repair and tear-offs. Bobby White's father started the business in 1973, and the family still runs every job.
Since 1973
Chuckey takes its name from the Nolichucky, and the river still shapes the land out here: farmhouses on the bottoms, country homes up the ridges, and a few newer places on cut-off lots. A roofing company in Chuckey has to be ready for long drives and old roofs, and we are.
Farmhouses near the Nolichucky have worn metal for a long time, and a lot of owners want to keep that look with something tighter and longer-lasting. Standing-seam metal does that.
We cut panels, trim and flashing to fit on site, around chimneys, porches and every odd angle an old farmhouse has picked up over the years. A big, cut-up roof can take four days or more.
Old farmhouses often carry the history of every roof they've had: shingles over shingles, sometimes shingles over old tin. When it's time, all of it comes off.
Then we can see the decking, replace what's soft, and start clean. Here's the order we follow on a full tear-off and replacement.
Not everything out here is old. Newer homes on lots cut from farmland usually have simple roofs and builder-grade shingles that give out sooner than people expect.
Those are typically one- to two-day jobs with architectural shingles. Read more about roofing a home with our family.
A drip in a back bedroom of a farmhouse can go unnoticed a long time. Meanwhile the decking above it softens and the rafters stain.
Catch it early and it's usually a repair. We trace the water back to where it starts and fix that. See what goes into repairing a leak properly.
Some houses out this way sit a quarter mile off the road. That's fine with us, but the trailer and materials have to get there.
Tell us about your drive, any low limbs, and soft spots after rain. We'll plan the delivery around it so nobody's stuck in your pasture.
Country churches, farm supply stores and small shops have roofs that wear out like any other. We re-roof and repair existing buildings like those.
We don't build new commercial roofs or sub for other contractors. Read about our commercial re-roofs and repairs.
A wraparound porch or a lean-to added on decades later is often where an old farmhouse leaks. Those roofs sit flatter and tie into the main roof at a seam that has to be flashed right.
We roof them along with the rest of the house so everything sheds water together and matches.
Bobby's father started the company in 1973 and, at 82, still goes out to look at roofs. Bobby has been roofing since 1991, and his son runs things day to day with him.
We're licensed and insured in Tennessee and Virginia, and most of our work comes from neighbors. Have a look at the roofing services we offer.
We get on the roof, check the decking from the attic, count the layers, and look at every porch tie-in and chimney. You get a price based on what we saw.
If a repair will do the job, that's what we'll recommend. If not, we'll lay out replacement options in shingle or metal so you can choose.

FAQ
Yes. It's a good drive from our Bristol shop, and it's part of the area we cover. We plan those jobs so the trip counts.
Yes. Low, damp ground near the river is hard on shingles, so we'll talk through whether shingle or metal makes more sense for your house.
Yes. Porch roofs get flashed into the main roof properly and roofed along with the house, so it all matches.
We'd rather take the old roof off. Going over it hides rotten decking and rust, and the new roof is only as good as what's under it.
Yes, on existing buildings. We do commercial re-roofs and repairs, not new construction.
Sagging spots, soft areas underfoot or stains on the rafters in the attic are the usual signs. We check from the attic and the roof both.

We watch the forecast and only open up what we can cover again that day. Rain might push the finish back a day, but it won't get in.
