Roofing Contractor in Friendsville, TN
Friendsville sits in Blount County between Tellico Lake and the Little River, mixing lake-adjacent properties off Highway 321 with rural homes back toward Topside. A short drive from our Seymour shop.
Between the lake and the river, a short drive from home.
Friendsville is quiet Blount County: lake-adjacent properties off Highway 321 on the Tellico side, rural residences spread back toward Topside, and the Little River running through it. The roofs are mostly single-family homes on good-sized lots, with a few lake homes and plenty of barns and outbuildings mixed in.
We're a short drive up from our shop in Seymour, and we've been on these roads long enough to know which rooflines back to the water and which back away from it. That matters for wind exposure and for how we stage a job. The installation is the same either way: Owens Corning Duration to Platinum Preferred standards or standing seam metal, with ice and water shield and new flashing throughout.
For barns and outbuildings, 29-gauge screw-down metal is the usual choice, with trim formed in our own shop. We'll quote the house and the barn on the same visit.

What Friendsville roofs actually deal with.
Friendsville's lake-side homes take wind and sun on the water-facing slope. The rural homes deal with tree cover, gutters full of leaves, and the attic ventilation shortfalls common to older houses. Both see the East Tennessee heat and freeze-thaw winters that make ventilation and ice and water shield worth doing right.
Lakefront roofs take weather from the water side. Wind crosses open water with nothing to slow it and hits the exposed slope hard, so fastening pattern and flashing matter more here than on a sheltered in-town lot. Those slopes also face the sun and the spray, which ages shingles unevenly from one side of the house to the other.
Friendsville summers are long and humid, and that's the quiet killer of shingle roofs in East Tennessee. An attic without real airflow cooks the shingles from underneath and takes years off their life, so we check soffit and ridge ventilation on every estimate. Winter brings freeze-and-thaw cycles rather than deep snow: water gets under a lifted shingle edge, freezes, lifts it further, and the next thaw finds the decking. Ice and water shield in the valleys, where that water concentrates, is cheap insurance against exactly that.
Tree cover does the rest. Leaves and needles pack valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the shingles, and feed algae and moss on shaded slopes. Gutter guards and a fall cleanout do more for a roof's lifespan here than most people expect, and a look at the roof every year or two catches the small problems while they're still small.

We work for you, not for a sales quota.
Brian King Roofing is a retail roofer. A homeowner in Friendsville calls us, we look at the roof, and we tell them the truth about it. Often the honest answer is a repair, and when it is, that's what we recommend.
If a storm did damage your roof, we'll meet your adjuster for the inspection, give you photo documentation, and answer your questions about the process. You stay in control of your claim. We don't chase storms, we don't door-knock, and we don't pressure anyone.
- Honest inspections with photo documentation
- Repair recommended when repair is the right answer
- Written scope of work you can compare to any other quote
- Same family, same shop, same phone number since 1991
Straight answers.
Don't see your question? Call 865-573-6859 and ask.
Will you roof a barn or shop building too?
- Yes. 29-gauge screw-down metal is the usual choice for barns, shops, and garages. We'll quote it alongside the house and do both in the same trip if you'd like.
How far is Friendsville from your shop?
- A short drive. Our office and sheet metal shop are in Seymour, and Friendsville is well within our everyday range for estimates and repairs.
How fast can you get to a roof leak in Friendsville?
- We respond to every request within one business day, and for an active leak we can usually be on site within 24 hours of your call. Our shop is in Seymour and our crews work across East Tennessee every day. Call 865-573-6859 and tell us water is coming in so we can prioritize it.
Shingles or metal for a Friendsville home?
- Both work well here and we install both every week. Architectural shingles are the lower up-front cost and look right on most homes. Standing seam metal costs more, lasts longer, and holds up better under heavy tree cover and wind. We'll give you a straight recommendation for your house and a quote for either one.
Do you offer financing?
- Yes. We partner with GreenSky for roofing financing with fixed monthly payments, and zero-interest promotional plans are available for qualified buyers. We'll walk you through the options when we go over your estimate.
What warranties come with a new roof?
- Three layers. The manufacturer's materials warranty, our own workmanship warranty (a two-year minimum on every install and lifetime on standing seam metal), and, on qualifying Owens Corning shingle systems, the Platinum Protection warranty that only Platinum Preferred contractors can register.
