Common Roofing Questions
Real Answers From 17 Years on Charlotte Roofs
We've inspected roofs from NoDa to Ballantyne since 2009. If your question isn't below, call (704) 476-1263 — we pick up.
How do I know if my roof needs repairing or replacing?
We start with a free inspection — no pressure. If shingles are curling, cracking, or missing granules, we'll explain whether a repair will get you 5 more years or if the wear is too widespread. For example, on a 2012 Malarkey Legacy installation in Plaza Midwood, we patched a wind-damaged section; but on a 20-year-old 3-tab roof in Cotswold, we recommended full replacement because the fiberglass mat had deteriorated. We'll show you photos and our reasoning.
What types of roofing materials do you install?
We are certified installers for Malarkey, GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas. We work with asphalt shingles (architectural and 3-tab), synthetic slate, standing-seam metal panels (40-year warranty), and TPO for commercial. For the historic districts like Wilmore, we carry certain slate-look options. We'll match the manufacturer to your budget and the local weather.
Do you work with insurance claims for storm damage?
Absolutely — it's one of our specialties. We meet the adjuster on-site at your property, document the damage with drone and ground photos, and provide a detailed scope of work. We've fought for full replacement value on hail claims in Myers Park and wind claims in University City. We guide you through the entire process, from filing to supplement negotiations.
How much does a new roof cost in Charlotte?
Cost depends on square footage, pitch, material, and complexity. For a typical 2,000 sq ft colonial in Dilworth with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, you might expect $8,000–$12,000. We provide a free itemized estimate — no hidden fees. We'll walk you through the material breakdown: underlayment, ice & water shield, ridge vents, and warranty.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. Every full replacement includes a 10-year workmanship warranty from us (covering leaks and installation defects). Manufacturer warranties vary: 30-year on most shingles (e.g., GAF Timberline) and 40-year on metal panels. We register your warranty at time of installation so you're covered. Our license #27941 backs every job.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are done in 1–3 days, depending on size, weather, and material. For a 2,500 sq ft home in Ballantyne with Owens Corning Duration shingles, we wrapped up in 2 days. We always tarp and secure the structure at end of day if weather threatens.
What neighborhoods in Charlotte do you serve?
We serve all of Charlotte and surrounding cities: NoDa, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth, Myers Park, Cotswold, Ballantyne, South End, Elizabeth, Wilmore, Eastover, Steele Creek, SouthPark, University City, and more. We've done roofs on Monroe Road, Providence Road, Queens Road, and all points in between.
Can you help with emergency tarping or leak containment?
Yes — we provide same-day emergency tarping and leak containment, 7 days a week. If a tree falls on your roof during a storm or a sudden leak develops, call (704) 476-1263. We'll dispatch a crew to stabilize the damage and prevent further interior water intrusion.
Are you licensed and insured in North Carolina?
Yes. We hold a valid North Carolina Roofing License (#27941) issued in 2009. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation. We're also BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. You can verify our license on the NC Licensing Board website.
How do you handle gutter installation or repair?
We install seamless aluminum gutters in custom colors to match your roof. We ensure proper slope and downspout placement for our Charlotte rainstorms. For a recent project in Elizabeth, we replaced gutters and added gutter guards to prevent leaf clogs. We also repair sections damaged by ice dams.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Charlotte?
While we work year-round, spring and fall offer milder temperatures, which makes shingle sealing optimal. But we've done plenty of summer and winter jobs — we just adjust adhesive and work hours. The key is scheduling before a major storm season so your roof is ready.
