Onyx Roofing and Construction is a family-owned roofing and general contracting company in Cookeville. We inspect it, explain it in plain English, and build it like our name is on the house, because it is.
Onyx was built on one principle: do things the right way, every time. From the first handshake to the final walkthrough, we lead with transparency, deliver with precision, and communicate every step of the way. What started as a small family-run operation has grown into a trusted Tennessee name in residential roofing, commercial roofing, and general construction, without ever losing the personal touch that made us who we are.
We believe in raising the bar for professionalism in construction. Our clients do not just hire a contractor. They gain a partner dedicated to protecting their investment, enhancing their property, and creating something that lasts generations. Whether it is a new home build, a roof replacement, or a complex commercial project, Onyx delivers craftsmanship that speaks for itself.
A roof is a trust decision. These are the four people accountable for the estimate, the crew, the money, and the walkthrough.
Hayden built his first company at 16 and started Onyx to put his name on work he could defend. He stays close to design, production standards, and the call when something is not right. If it has the Onyx name on it, he is accountable for it.
Thirty-plus years in construction, real estate, and sales. James runs the jobs: crews, subcontractors, schedule, and the update you should not have to chase. He is the reason the site stays orderly and the homeowner stays informed.
John handles budgets, forecasting, and the financial side of every project. Homeowners never see most of that work. They feel it when the scope, the price, and the paperwork match.
Ron is the person on your roof and at your kitchen table. He documents what he finds, explains it without the jargon, and does not treat an inspection like a close. From the first photo to the final walkthrough, the standard is the same.
The inspection comes with photos and a plain-English read. If the roof can be repaired, we say so. If it needs to be replaced, we show you why. No same-day discount theater.
Starter, ice and water where it belongs, flashing done like it matters, ventilation checked, debris hauled off. We install systems we would put on our own houses.
One point of contact. A schedule you can plan around. A walkthrough before we call it done. The job is finished when you understand what you bought.
After a storm, we inspect the roof, photograph what we find, and sit with you through the claim. We can meet the adjuster, explain the scope in plain English, and help you understand what was approved. The insurance company still decides coverage. We handle the building once you are ready to move forward.
You reach a local number, not a call center. We book a time that works and tell you who is coming.
We get on the roof. Photos of shingles, flashing, decking, ventilation, and anything the storm actually did.
You get the findings in normal language, with options. Repair if that is the honest answer. Replace if it is not.
Licensed, insured, scheduled. We protect the property, manage the crew, and keep you posted without you having to ask.
We look at it with you. Warranty paperwork, cleanup, and a number you can still call next season.
