Our story

A Knoxville company, still led by Brad Locke.

Owner Brad Locke has been in the business for more than 15 years, starting in 2006 when he established Brad's Home Improvement. The business was known as Locke's Roofing and Siding for many years, but Brad decided he wanted to expand his services to provide overall home improvement projects. This led to the name change, though Brad and our team still specialize in residential and commercial roofing and siding.

We are a locally-owned and operated business that is backed by the credibility we've accrued over the years from serving both new and returning customers in the community. We create personable relationships with our clients because we want them to feel like they're more than just a business transaction. Our goal is to build our reputation around our high quality work and excellent customer service.

Our team is made up of reliable employees who perform high quality work in a timely manner. We hope that when we're finished, you not only love the quality of our workmanship, but trust us enough to call us for additional home improvement projects.

★★★★★
We have had two roofs put on by Brad's one at our house and at our rental property. They are very professional, polite and fast and efficient and respectful to our home in the way they clean up and communicate well. I recommended them to my neighbor and they got their roof done. I highly recommend them.

After torrential rains last week we had a leak and I expected expensive roof repair. Brad came out to inspect and realized all we needed was some sealer around a couple of windows. It was fixed the next day for a fraction of the cost of replacing shingles. We couldn't be happier.

Brads home improvement is the best! I had two roofs needing complete fixing. Brad worked with me and my insurance company, then showed up with an army. He completed both in two days and the cleanup job was like he wasn't even there. These guys are good. Shout out to Jennifer,she took care of the logistics and was there all the way. Thanks Brad's HP.

Brad's crew was professional and efficient. They worked around our home for four days, cleaning up every day. When a rather difficult job was completed, it was done under budget. We would welcome them back at our home for any future projects.
