Protect your home and family with a roof that’s built for everything Somerset’s seasons can throw at it.
Types of Residential Roofs We Install
From asphalt shingles to metal, cedar, and slate, we offer a wide range of materials to match your style, budget, and the specific demands of life near Lake Cumberland.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for Somerset homeowners — and for good reason. They’re cost-effective, versatile, and available in a wide range of colors and profiles that complement everything from newer builds to older craftsman-style homes throughout Pulaski County. When installed correctly with proper underlayment and ventilation, asphalt shingles deliver reliable protection through decades of Kentucky weather.
Metal Roofing
If there’s one roofing material that’s perfectly suited to Somerset’s climate, it’s metal. Standing seam and ribbed metal roofing handles moisture exceptionally well — a real advantage in a region where humidity is a constant companion and lake-effect weather patterns can bring heavy rain with little warning. Metal roofs shed water fast, resist wind uplift, and can last 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance. We work with steel, aluminum, and copper to give you options that fit both your aesthetic and your long-term goals.
Cedar Roofs
Somerset’s natural surroundings — the tree canopy, the lakeside lots, the rolling hills of south-central Kentucky — make cedar roofing a natural fit. Cedar shingles and shakes bring warmth and character that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate. They insulate well, breathe naturally, and age into a beautiful silver-gray that looks like it belongs in the landscape. For homeowners who want their roof to feel like part of the environment rather than just on top of it, cedar is a compelling choice.
Slate Roofs
Somerset has no shortage of architecturally distinctive homes — older properties near downtown, lakefront houses with custom designs, and historic residences that deserve materials worthy of their character. Slate roofing delivers exactly that. With a lifespan that can exceed a century, natural slate is one of the most durable roofing materials available. It’s low-maintenance, fire-resistant, and adds a level of sophistication that increases both curb appeal and long-term property value. If you have a home that deserves to stand out, slate is worth the conversation.
Features and Benefits of a New Roof With MK
MK Contractors LLC doesn’t just put roofing materials over your head — we think through every layer of your system to make sure your home is protected, efficient, and built to last. Here’s what sets our work apart in the Somerset market:
- Weather-Resistant Roofing: Somerset’s position in south-central Kentucky means exposure to serious storm systems, high humidity, and temperature extremes. Every material we use is selected with that reality in mind.
- Energy Efficiency Options: The right roofing system can meaningfully reduce your heating and cooling costs — important in a region where both summer heat and winter cold push HVAC systems hard.
- Lake-Aware Installation Practices: Homes near Lake Cumberland face elevated moisture exposure. We account for that in every recommendation we make, from material selection to ventilation design.
- Custom Solutions for Every Home: No two Somerset homes are identical, and we don’t treat them that way. We assess each property individually and build our recommendations around what your specific home actually needs.
Common Roofing Concerns Somerset Homeowners Face
We work in this region every day, and we hear the same concerns from homeowners across Somerset and Pulaski County. Here’s how we address the ones that come up most:
- Storm and Wind Damage: Somerset sits in a corridor that sees significant spring storm activity. If a system has come through and left you wondering about your roof, we respond quickly, document damage thoroughly, and help you navigate the repair or replacement process.
- Moisture and Humidity Issues: Proximity to Lake Cumberland means that moisture management isn’t just a seasonal concern — it’s year-round. We assess ventilation, flashing, and underlayment to make sure your roof is shedding moisture the way it should.
- Aging Roofs on Established Homes: Many of Somerset’s neighborhoods have homes with roofs that are well past their prime. Curling shingles, granule loss, and sagging sections aren’t just cosmetic problems — they’re warning signs. We help homeowners understand exactly where their roof stands and what the smartest next step is.
- Lakefront and Vacation Property Roofing: Many Somerset-area homeowners have lake properties that sit vacant for stretches of time. We offer roofing solutions and inspection services tailored to property owners who need reliability and low maintenance from a roof they can’t always keep an eye on.
- Budget and Timeline Considerations: We work with your schedule and talk honestly about cost. No inflated estimates, no unnecessary upsells — just straightforward recommendations and quality work at a fair price.

MK Contractors were exceptionally professional in every aspect of multiple houses with roofs needing replaced. Dennis was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the process. He kept me updated with photos and messages. Everyone … More in the team of people were fast and prompt. The word done is exactly as requested and exceptionally well done. If you've been looking for a roofing contractor that calls you back, is timely, and gets good work done quickly, look no further!

Changing roof is not a task a homeowner manages frequently; as a matter of fact some homeowners may never get such a job done. So when it comes to my roof, I need someone I can trust. I know that we had sporadical hails and strong wind … More in my area recently, as I could see discoloration and spots on the shingles by looking from the ground level. I really did not want to go through the hustle of calling a lot of roofing companies and picking one. Luckily a trusted friend recommended Junior @ MK Contractors LLC to me.
Junior came to my home to do evaluation right away after my call. The fact he got on roof so fast amazed me! He took pictures of the rood, explained the details, helped me navigate the insurance claim process, and provided me with a quote that mirrored the insurance estimate.
From there, the scheduling was done very quickly and the crew showed up right after the shingles were delivered. I have to say that it was one of the most handworking, efficient and disciplined teams I had ever seen/encountered! They got everything done within 2 days, cleaned up the job site, and picked up every possible loose nail on the driveway, walkway and the lawn. It looked like nothing had happened – except the roof was brand new!
All in all, I would strongly recommend MK Contractors LLC to anyone who is thinking of getting the roof replaced. -
Had a large roof needing complete tear off. Kevin was far and away the most professional and fairly priced of them all. Very responsive. Prompt to communicate. The roof fascia ,soffits and gutters look amazing. The also replaced siding … More and windows in back and replaced corbels. Very happy, would highly recommend.!

Just wanted to compliment Junior, with MK Construction, for being so courteous and personable. He actually repaired my leaky front gutter "free of charge" when I had only requested a quote for the job. Two thumbs up!
