LaFollette is the largest city in Campbell County, with about 7,200 people near Norris Lake and the Cumberland Mountains. Unlike most cities we serve, LaFollette does not run its own residential codes office. It falls under Tennessee's State Residential Building Program, administered by the State Fire Marshal's Office, which describes the program as covering new construction and additions over 30 square feet. Campbell County's storm record is a reminder of what the mountains can produce: an EF-3 tornado on 27 July 2014 with 140 to 150 mph winds and an 800-yard-wide path, according to NOAA's storm events database, and golf-ball-size hail reported in the county in 2012, 2018 and 2021. We have done roofing work nearby, including a metal roof leak repair in Caryville. We inspect first, document what we find with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
