A & B General Contracting provides insurance restoration for the estates of Sequoyah Hills and Lake Cumberland. We handle the complexity of high-value claims so you never have to.
Your estate's roof is its most consequential architectural statement. A & B restores and elevates roofing systems using only the finest materials—from Atlas Pinnacle Pristine with Scotchgard Protector to hand-fabricated copper, DaVinci composite slate, and imported European cedar shake. Every installation begins with rigorous documentation and ends with a roof that exceeds its original specification.
The skin of a historic estate communicates its entire architectural intent. We restore and reimagine exterior siding using James Hardie Artisan profiles, premium fiber cement, and custom-milled cedar—ensuring dimensional accuracy, color permanence, and structural integrity that mass-market contractors cannot replicate. Our installations carry the precision of a cabinetmaker, not a commodity installer.
Water intrusion and structural damage do not respect the irreplaceable. A & B's interior preservation team works in close consultation with interior designers, architects, and historic preservation specialists to restore plaster moldings, original millwork, and custom finishes to their precise pre-loss condition—or better. We treat every room as the curated environment it was designed to be.
Each project in our portfolio represents a convergence of material science, architectural sensitivity, and claims expertise. Slide to witness the transformation.

Storm Intelligence
Our proprietary storm analysis cross-references your property against four verified weather databases — NOAA, regional hail records, wind event data, and satellite imagery — to build an irrefutable case before the adjuster arrives.
High-value insurance restoration is not merely a construction project—it is a legal, technical, and logistical undertaking that demands total mastery. Our proprietary process ensures that from first inspection to final walkthrough, you are shielded from every point of friction.
Our assessments begin with comprehensive photographic documentation, drone-assisted aerial inspection, and moisture mapping—producing an irrefutable, court-quality evidence package that no adjuster can dismiss.
We interface directly with your insurance carrier's field and desk adjusters, supplying building-code justifications, localized cost indices, and supplement documentation that transforms negotiation into confirmation.
Your restoration is an investment decision. We present curated material selections matched to your home's architectural period, HOA requirements, and long-term performance expectations—never a commodity substitute.
A dedicated project liaison manages scheduling, subcontractor qualification, material sequencing, and progress documentation. Your home returns to its highest expression—and your calendar remains clear.
“We do not merely restore what the storm took. We deliver what the architect originally intended.”
For estates where longevity and beauty are inseparable, Atlas Pinnacle Pristine represents the apex of modern asphalt shingle engineering. Backed by 3M's Scotchgard Protector technology, it is the only architectural shingle that actively resists the algae and moisture that erode a home's first impression—and its market value.
3M's proprietary algae-resistance treatment is embedded throughout the shingle granule layer—not applied as a surface coating—ensuring the protective performance endures for the full lifetime of the product. For a lakeside or forested estate, this technology eliminates the unsightly black streaking that devalues neighboring properties. Your roof remains pristine for decades without chemical treatment.
Tested to UL 2218 Class 4 standards—the insurance industry's highest rating—Pinnacle Pristine withstands two-inch steel ball impacts without cracking. For properties in the hail corridor of East Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, this certification often qualifies estates for meaningful insurance premium reductions, transforming the restoration cost into a long-term financial asset.
The laminated construction of Pinnacle Pristine creates genuine three-dimensional shadow lines that replicate the visual depth of genuine slate and cedar shake—materials that define the architectural character of Sequoyah Hills and Lake Cumberland estates. This is not an imitation; it is a considered architectural material in its own right.
As a proud partner of the Limitless Roofing Group Purchasing Organization, A & B General Contracting accesses Atlas materials at institutional pricing, passing those advantages directly to your claim and ensuring manufacturer warranty validity on every installation.
Stone coated steel roofing represents the rarest convergence of permanence and beauty in the built environment. It is not a product category available through volume contractors or big-box distributors. A & B General Contracting has established direct manufacturer relationships with two of the world's foremost producers — Tefute USA and Roser — bringing these systems to the estates of Sequoyah Hills and Lake Cumberland for the first time. A roof installed in this category is not a restoration. It is an upgrade that will outlast every other system on the street.
ISO 9001 · ICC-ES Certified · UL 2218 Class 4 · Lifetime Limited Warranty
For over sixteen years, Tefute has commanded a position as a world leader in stone coated steel roofing — a status earned through ISO 9001 certification across multiple global manufacturing facilities, ICC-ES evaluation, and an unwavering commitment to premium-grade product consistency. Natural stone chips are bonded to a galvanized steel substrate through an acrylic resin process that does not simply coat the surface — it creates a composite material of extraordinary dimensional stability.
Tefute's product line spans six distinct profiles, each engineered to replicate the architectural language of the world's most prestigious roofing traditions. At 1.5 lbs per square foot — a fraction of the weight of slate or clay — these systems place virtually no additional structural load on your estate's framing, making them the intelligent choice for historic buildings where structural alteration is either undesirable or impractical.

Historic Structure Compatibility
At a fraction of the weight of traditional slate or clay, Tefute systems can be specified for historic estates in Sequoyah Hills without triggering structural engineering requirements or disturbing original timber framing.
Lifetime Warranty — Transferable
Tefute's comprehensive limited lifetime warranty transfers to subsequent owners, creating a measurable, documentable increase in estate resale value that conventional architectural shingles cannot match.
ISO 9001 · UL Classified · Miami-Dade Approved · 75+ Countries
Founded in 1978, Roser holds a singular distinction in the stone coated steel category: it pioneered the technology in Korea and has maintained a majority market share in residential and commercial sectors across more than seventy-five countries for nearly five decades. That longevity is not a marketing claim — it is proof of a system that has survived hurricanes, earthquakes, hailstorms, and half a century of evaluation by the world's most rigorous building authorities, including Miami-Dade County.
Every Roser panel is manufactured in a single facility — a deliberate operational choice that gives the company absolute control over production standards and material consistency. Raw steel is sourced to exacting specifications. Stone granules are US-produced 3M product. The acrylic base is industry-leading. There are no shortcuts hidden in a distributed supply chain. The result is a roofing system that consistently exceeds competitor product specifications while maintaining the visual authority of the world's most elegant roofing traditions.

"Single-source manufacturing means every panel that leaves the Roser facility was made under the same roof — and to the same uncompromising specification."
Interlocking Structural System
Roser panels interlock to function as a single unified surface — not a collection of individual tiles. Under hurricane-force wind events, this engineering means the roof behaves as a structural element, not as a collection of components under individual stress.
3M Granule Specification
Every Roser panel uses US-produced 3M roofing granules — not commodity aggregate. 3M's granule technology provides superior color stability and UV resistance, ensuring the visual integrity of your estate's roofline endures decades of southern sun exposure.
