With decades of accumulated wisdom and a small army of dedicated professionals, Kristy and Luke Smith’s Highlander Roofing Service has got you covered.
Luke and Kristy Smith
When you’ve put in your 10,000 hours, know how to manage every nail and water-droplet in your roofing businesses (from Florida to North Carolina), can correctly crunch every number in the books, and understand the lifestyle of mountain living ‘cause you’ve lived it since childhood, you’re exactly where you should be – and doing exactly what you should be doing.
That’s what Kristy and Luke Smith, owners of Highlander Roofing in Franklin, Sylva, and Asheville are doing and loving it.
In Florida, Luke had a career in construction including roofing and building material supply. Along the way, he saw a need for a professionally-run roofing company in Western Carolina. All that prep described above, went into opening Highlander Roofing Services in Franklin.
It thrived. Customers jumped at the service and quality Luke offered. As the company grew over the last seven years Kristy, with a strong background in banking and appraising, came onboard, and together, the Smiths have built an exceptional regional enterprise.
The company specializes in Re-roof and Repair work. After the annual leaf-fall and storms, new gutters and downspouts are in demand. Highlander has the trucks, gear, and experts to tackle it. The company’s prepared for severe storms. A General Contractor oversees roof-rebuilds, tree-removal, and internal/external home damage. Staff carpenters handle emergencies replacing siding, fascia, and plywood.
In the fall seasonal roof maintenance is essential to stay ahead of leaf build-up. Drone shots of roofs Highlander has repaired are a Facebook-sensation for owners and neighbors, especially when autumn colors are dramatically framing the houses.
“The slight slowdown in the winter months really comes as a relief as we can train our people, implement new ideas, and plan for the coming year,” Luke adds.
When not in office, Luke and Kristy volunteer at the Franklin First Methodist Church where Luke is Chairman of the board of trustees. Kristy serves in finance and sings in the praise band. “She’s a really good singer,” Luke interjects.
Other community organizations utilize Luke’s skills as an auctioneer to raise money from time to time. Both Luke and Kristy have served as President of the Franklin Daybreak Rotary Club.
