Loudon is the seat of Loudon County, a city of about 6,900 people on the Tennessee River. The City of Loudon's Codes Enforcement office issues all building permits in the city and enforces the 2021 editions of the International Residential and Building codes, newer than the 2018 residential edition Tennessee sets statewide. The most striking local storm on record is recent: on 7 August 2023, thunderstorm winds ripped the roof decking off the Loudon County High School gymnasium and lifted the roof off its ticket booth, according to NOAA's storm events database. Wind damage like that starts at edges and ridges, which is where roof details matter most. We inspect, document what we find with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
