Piney Flats, TN service area
For homeowners who want a roofing company in Piney Flats, TN with some history, White's Roofing Co has been at it since 1973. We handle roof replacement, roof repair and metal roofing for houses along Boone Lake, out past Rocky Mount on 11E, and back in the subdivisions off the main road.
Since 1973
Piney Flats is still mostly homes on good-sized lots, with plenty of sky over them and not much to stop the wind. That's hard on an old roof. A roofing company in Piney Flats needs to build one that stays put, and that's the only kind we put on.
Houses on the Boone Lake shoreline take wind straight off the water and a lot of afternoon sun on the south slopes. Shingles bake, lose their granules and start curling years before the ones in a shaded yard.
When that roof is done, we take it to the deck and start over. See the order we follow for a complete roof replacement.
Out here a lot of houses sit on open ground with nothing to slow the wind. Metal roofing makes sense on those. Standing-seam panels are fastened along their full length and shrug off the gusts that strip shingle tabs.
Metal costs more on day one and lasts a good while longer. We'll price it next to a shingle roof, and you can decide what's worth it for how long you plan to stay.
The subdivisions off 11E are full of houses built around the same time, so their shingle roofs are wearing out around the same time too. Granules in the gutters and curled edges are the usual first signs.
Most of these are a one- to two-day job with architectural shingles. Here's more on how we roof homes.
Plenty of leaks in Piney Flats aren't on the main roof at all. They're on a porch roof or an addition that got tied in later at a flatter pitch, where water moves slow and the flashing has to be just right.
We find where the water is getting in and fix that seam properly. Read about repairing a roof leak the right way.
Tear-off is messy, and we know your yard isn't a job site the rest of the year. Old shingles go straight into the trailer, and nails and scraps get picked up before we leave.
It helps to park somewhere other than the driveway the night before, and to keep pets in while we're working. That's about it.
There are shops, churches and small businesses up and down 11E with roofs that have seen better days. We re-roof and repair existing buildings like those.
New construction and sub work for builders aren't what we do. If you own the building, have a look at commercial roof repairs and re-roofs.
Bobby does a lot of work for people who buy houses to fix and sell or rent. The roof is usually the most expensive item on the list and the first thing a buyer's inspector looks at.
We keep those jobs moving. Call with the address and your timeline and we'll tell you honestly where you'd fit on the schedule.
Bobby's father started the company in 1973 and still goes out to look at roofs at 82. Bobby has been roofing since 1991, and his son runs the day-to-day alongside him.
We're licensed and insured in Tennessee and Virginia, and nearly all our work comes from neighbors. Have a look at the houses we roof around the region.
We come out, get on the roof, look at the decking from the attic, and count the layers. Then you get a price that's based on your roof and not a guess.
Sometimes a repair is all it takes, and we'll say so. When it isn't, we'll lay out new roof options in shingle and metal side by side.

FAQ
Yes. Lake houses get a lot of wind and sun, and we'll talk through whether shingle or metal makes more sense for yours.
Not at all. It's about twenty minutes from our Bristol shop, right between Bristol and Johnson City.
Three-tab shingles are thin and flat. Architectural shingles are thicker and layered, look better from the road, and hold up longer. Nearly every roof we put on now is architectural.
Porch roofs are often flatter and tied in later, so water moves slower and the flashing where they meet the house has to be right. That seam is the usual culprit.
On existing buildings, yes. We re-roof and repair them but don't do new construction.
A good deal longer, as a rule. That's why it costs more up front. We'll lay out both so you can weigh it against how long you plan to stay.
Time in business, an owner who answers the phone, and a roof that goes down to the deck. Run a search for roofers near me and ask each name about all three.
Yes. We'll go over shingle and metal colors with you before anything is ordered.
