What Rackley Roofing does

Rackley Roofing is a full-service commercial and industrial roofing contractor founded in 1974 and headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. The company installs, inspects, maintains, and repairs low-slope and flat roofing systems across the Southeastern United States, with regional offices in Knoxville (East Tennessee) and Chattanooga (Southeast Tennessee). Its product portfolio spans six roofing systems — TPO, EPDM, PVC, sheet metal/metal, BUR, and Green Roofing and Paver Systems — supplemented by an in-house sheet metal fabrication department that supports custom architectural metalwork and the company's RD Herbert & Sons division for boutique, historic, and high-end projects.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-field model with in-house estimators, project managers, and crews (no subcontractors), targeting commercial building owners, professional property managers, and government/institutional entities. Revenue is generated through project-based installation and replacement contracts, recurring RoofCheck maintenance subscriptions with biannual inspections and written roof reports, and on-demand repair and inspection services. Rackley holds tier-one installer certifications with Carlisle SynTec, Firestone, GAF, and DuroLast, and supports infrared thermography-based moisture detection and the proprietary RoofView documentation platform as part of its service stack.

Leadership is anchored by President Curtis Sutton (joined 2010), COO Michelle Boykin (since 2010), CFO Eric Shumate (2023), and a team with operating experience spanning 20-30 years in roofing and construction. The firm operates as Rackley Roofing Company, Inc., a privately held Tennessee corporation with no disclosed institutional ownership and no public listing. Major acquired entities include RD Herbert & Sons (2017) and C.M. Henley Company (2017). The company carries no patents, discloses no AI/ML capabilities, and does not publish revenue figures.
