About Us

The Difference
Is Local.

Out-of-town companies treat the Red River Gorge like a satellite market — a long drive and a toll-free number. We live and work here. That changes everything about how the job gets done.

Red River Gorge Roofing & Construction was founded in 2025 on a simple idea: this region deserves a contractor who actually answers the phone, shows up when promised, and stands behind the work after the check clears.

We're an owner-operated company — not a franchise, not a crew dispatched from two counties over. When you call, you reach the people who will be on your property. We do roofing, decks, remodeling, additions, and the cabin and short-term rental work that's become a specialty, all under one accountable name. One call instead of four contractors pointing fingers at each other.

The name on the truck is the name on the work. That's the whole philosophy, and it's why our standard is "Built Right. Done Once." — not because it's a slogan, but because we're the ones who'd have to come back and fix it otherwise. We'd rather do it right the first time and back it with a written 12-month workmanship warranty.

Who You're Hiring

The People
Behind The Work.

No call center, no middle layer. The two people who run this company are the two people accountable for your job.

Co-Founder & Lead Builder

Chuck Hensley

Chuck runs the build side and the crew. He's framed and finished homes up to 3,600 square feet and leads a tight three-person crew that handles everything from roofing and structural framing to finish carpentry. If it's getting built on your property, Chuck is the one accountable for how it's built — and he holds the line on doing it to code, the first time.

Co-Founder & Operations

Tristan Eldred

Tristan runs operations — scheduling, estimates, and making sure the written quote you get is the job you actually receive. He also operates short-term rental cabins in the region, which is where the company's cabin and STR specialty comes from. The result for you: clear communication, quotes in writing, and no runaround.

Why It Matters

What Local
Actually Buys You.

"Local" isn't a marketing word here. It's a set of practical advantages you feel on the job.

/01

We Show Up

We're minutes away, not 90. That means faster estimates, faster starts, and someone who can actually come back if something needs attention.

/02

We Know The Terrain

Sloped lots, freeze-thaw, the way these roofs and decks weather. We build for the conditions the Gorge actually throws at a structure.

/03

We're Accountable

Our reputation lives in the same community yours does. We can't disappear, so we don't cut corners. Built Right. Done Once.
