Roofing tear-offs in Louisville range from older slate and multi-layer asphalt in Clifton and Crescent Hill to straightforward single-layer jobs in the suburbs. Layer count changes the size we’d recommend.
Shingles are heavy and deceptive. A tear-off that looks like a small pile weighs more than a container of furniture, which is why roofing jobs go in smaller containers than people expect. A 10 or 15 yard is normally the right call even on a decent-sized house.
Count your squares. A single layer of asphalt runs roughly one square per yard of container, so a 25 square roof fits a 20 yard with room to spare. Two layers doubles the weight — drop a size and expect to keep it lighter. Wood shake and slate are heavier again, so call before you book those.

If the container sits in the public right-of-way you'll likely need a permit from the city. Check with Louisville Metro before delivery — it's quick, but it isn't automatic.
Yes, and it's common in the older neighborhoods. Just let us know so we send the right truck and plan the approach.
