Gatlinburg is a mountain city of about 3,700 residents at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with its own Building & Planning Department handling codes, plan review and inspections. It is also one of the hardest places in our service area to roof. Homes and cabins sit on steep slopes above narrow switchback roads, and getting materials up and debris down can take as long as the roofing itself. Hail is part of the mountain climate as well: law enforcement reported baseball-size hail in Gatlinburg on 26 April 2012, according to NOAA's storm events database. Wind across exposed ridges wears on shingle edges and ridge caps. We have done roofing work elsewhere in Sevier County, including Kodak. We inspect first, show you what we find with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.
