Your Georgetown Roofer.
It's Just Me, Joe.
Scott County has grown faster than almost anywhere in Kentucky, and whole subdivisions of same-age shingle are hitting their first real storm cycles together. I run scheduled trips down I-75 from my Cincinnati base — insurance restoration first, honest answers always.

Storm Damage in Georgetown
⛈️ Why Georgetown roofs are at risk
Scott County's storms run up the I-75 corridor; NOAA logged 1-inch hail near Georgetown in August 2019 and again in May 2020. When a hail core clips Georgetown's growth-years subdivisions, entire streets of same-age roofs take the same hit at once — and documentation quality decides whose claim gets paid right.
The Georgetown Roof Report
Georgetown's housing has a median build year of 2001 (Census ACS), which makes the typical house about 25 years old. A lot of these houses still have the roof the builder put on, and whole subdivisions reach the end of it at about the same time. Your house can be the exception, which is what an inspection is for. I’m based in Cincinnati, so Georgetown work runs on scheduled trips, with an exact window instead of a maybe.
⛈️ Georgetown storm history, 2019–2026
NOAA’s Storm Events Database has 19 reports of damaging wind, hail an inch or larger, or tornadoes within about 5 miles of Georgetown between January 2019 and June 2026. The biggest:
- July 6, 2022 · estimated 69 mph wind gust near Georgetown · NOAA record
- August 30, 2021 · estimated 63 mph wind gust near Boydtown · NOAA record
- May 23, 2020 · 1-inch (quarter-size) hail at Georgetown · NOAA record
- August 31, 2019 · 1-inch (quarter-size) hail at Georgetown · NOAA record
Hail of an inch or more was reported on 2 separate days in that span; the largest measured 1 inch.
Not sure the last storm did anything? I’ll get on the roof, photograph it, and give you a straight yes or no, free.
📋 Permit rules: ask before the tear-off
The July 2025 permit fee schedule has no roofing or re-roof line, just alterations and remodels among the residential types, and I have not found an official page that addresses roofing. From: Georgetown/Scott County Building Inspection.
Before a tear-off, ask the Georgetown/Scott County Building Inspection Department; the answer can change by address.
Historic listings: Georgetown has five National Register districts, and the planning commission publishes Historic Georgetown Design Guidelines. Whether a re-roof needs design review is not something I have confirmed; the planning office can answer it. Source.
📈 The building boom
Toyota picked Georgetown in 1985 and opened its plant in 1988. The city went from 11,414 residents in 1990 to 37,086 in 2020, so most of the housing is post-1990. Source

Is a permit required to re-roof a house in Georgetown?
No official page settles it. The July 2025 permit fee schedule has no roofing or re-roof line, just alterations and remodels among the residential types, and I have not found an official page that addresses roofing. Ask the Georgetown/Scott County Building Inspection Department before work starts. Source: Georgetown/Scott County Building Inspection.
When did hail last hit near Georgetown?
The most recent report was 1-inch hail on May 23, 2020 near Georgetown. NOAA logged 2 reports of hail an inch or larger within about 5 miles of Georgetown from 2019 through June 2026, on 2 days. The largest measured 1 inch (quarter size), on August 31, 2019 near Georgetown. A report near town doesn’t mean your roof was hit; that takes someone on the roof.
How old are most roofs in Georgetown?
The median Georgetown home was built in 2001, per the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 survey, so half the houses are more than 25 years old. Plenty still wear the original builder-grade shingles, now near the end of what they were rated for. What counts is the roof’s age, not the house’s; the last tear-off date is the number to find.
Is Georgetown in a historic district with roof rules?
Not that I’ve found. Georgetown has five National Register districts, and the planning commission publishes Historic Georgetown Design Guidelines. Whether a re-roof needs design review is not something I have confirmed; the planning office can answer it. If your house is in one, ask the local planning office before choosing materials.
Which Georgetown ZIP codes do you cover?
All of them. Most of Georgetown’s land falls in ZIP 40324, and I work every street. Georgetown work runs on scheduled trips from my Cincinnati base, so I batch inspections and give you an exact window. Inspections are free and I do them personally, with photos you keep.
