Meet the Owner
Keith Whittington, owner of Whittington Construction Company, is a lifelong resident of the Tri-Cities Tennessee area and proudly served in the Army Reserve for ten years. With 50 years of home construction experience, Keith has personally overseen hundreds of projects — from new home builds and remodeling to roof replacements — so he knows exactly what your roof needs. He is a past president of both the Johnson City Area Homebuilders Association and the Home Builders Association of Tennessee, and has served on the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors for 21 years, including two terms as its chairman.
Three generations of honest roofing
Whittington Construction Company was founded in 1954 — a family roofing business built on doing the job right and standing behind it. Seventy years later, we’re still family-owned and still answering the phone ourselves.
Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol homeowners have trusted us with their roofs for three generations.
Keith Whittington personally watches over your roof — not just a crew sent to finish.
If a repair will do, we say so. We only recommend the work your home actually needs.
The values behind every roof
Three generations in the same community means we have to look our neighbors in the eye long after the job is done. That shapes how we work.
Integrity
We tell you what your roof needs — not what makes us the most money. Honest assessments and no high-pressure sales tactics, ever.
Craftsmanship
From the tear-off to the last nail, we treat every roof like it’s on our own home. Clean lines, proper flashing, thorough cleanup.
Community
We live and work in the Tri-Cities. Our reputation is built one neighbor at a time, and we protect it on every job.
Why a family-owned roofer matters
When you hire a family-owned contractor, you get something a national chain can’t offer: a name and a reputation tied directly to the work on your home.
Owner oversight
The owner is involved on your job — not hidden behind a call center or a regional manager you’ll never meet.
Real accountability
We’re here next year and the year after that. If something isn’t right, we make it right — because our community expects it.
Local reputation
Most of our work comes from neighbors referring neighbors. That only happens when you do right by people for 70 years.
Proudly serving Northeast Tennessee
Based in the Tri-Cities, we serve homeowners across Washington, Sullivan, Carter, Unicoi, and surrounding counties.
