What happens after you send it

A roofer calls the same day, then comes to look

Charlotte roofs come in every shape: 1950s brick ranches in east Charlotte, steep Tudors under the Myers Park oaks, two-story vinyl-sided homes in Ballantyne and Huntersville, lake houses on Lake Norman. The fix depends on which one you have and what's actually wrong, so the first step is a person on the phone and then a person on the roof.

  1. The callbackWe ask where the water shows up, how old the roof is and whether it's one story or two. If something is actively leaking, we talk you through what to protect before the visit.
  2. The lookRoof surface, flashing, vents, gutters and the attic side of the decking. You see photos of anything we point to.
  3. The written priceLine by line: materials by name, labor, permit if one is needed, disposal. Nothing starts until you sign it.

Roof replacement in Charlotte

When shingles are curling, granules are piling up in the gutters and the leaks keep moving, patching stops paying. A replacement here means tearing off to the decking, swapping any soft plywood, laying ice-and-water membrane in the valleys and along the eaves, synthetic underlayment over the rest, then new flashing, vents and shingles. Mecklenburg County requires a permit for it and we pull one.

From call to clean-up

How a roof job runs with us

1

You reach us

Phone or the form. Give us the street, the roof's rough age and what you've noticed: a stain on the ceiling, shingles on the lawn, a gutter full of grit.

2

We inspect

On the roof and in the attic. Photos of every problem so you can see what we saw without climbing up yourself.

3

You approve a price

Written, itemized, with the permit on its own line when the job needs one. Repairs are often done the same visit once you say yes.

4

We finish and clean

Magnetic sweep for nails in the yard and driveway, debris hauled off, and a last walk-through of the work with you.

Where we work

Charlotte first, then out in every direction

All of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, north to the Lake Norman towns, east into Cabarrus County, southeast through Union County, west to Gaston County and south across the line into York County, South Carolina. The city alone holds about 943,500 people and the metro roughly 2.9 million, and it keeps adding thousands of new roofs a year.

Smaller places we cover without their own page here include Davidson, Mint Hill, Pineville and Weddington.

Before you call

What Charlotte homeowners ask first

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Charlotte?

Yes. Mecklenburg County requires a building permit for a roof replacement, issued through its Land Use and Environmental Services Agency (LUESA). Patching a leak or swapping a handful of shingles normally doesn't need one, but any job that touches the decking or the rafters always does. The roofer pulls the permit; you shouldn't have to. Our permit guide covers the details, including historic districts.

How do I know if a roofer is licensed in North Carolina?

Roofing falls under the specialty classification of the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors. A contractor needs that licence once a project reaches the state's dollar threshold, and splitting one job into smaller invoices to dodge it counts as unlicensed contracting. You can look a contractor up on the board's website before you sign. More in the licence guide.

My roof leaks only in heavy rain. Is that a repair or a new roof?

Usually a repair. A leak that shows up only in a downpour tends to come from one spot: a cracked pipe boot, lifted flashing at a chimney or wall, or a nail that backed out. A roofer traces it from the attic and the roof surface and fixes that spot. A new roof comes into the conversation when the shingles themselves are worn out across the slopes.

Does homeowners insurance pay for hail damage?

Often, when hail or wind damaged the roof and the policy covers that peril. Be aware that some North Carolina policies handle wind and hail differently from other perils, so read yours or ask your agent before assuming. Our claim guide walks through the inspection, the adjuster visit and the paperwork.

Do you work in South Carolina too?

Yes. Rock Hill and Fort Mill in York County, South Carolina, sit just over the state line and are part of the area we cover. Their permits come from their own town or county, not from Mecklenburg.

Who answers when I call at night?

An automated assistant takes your name, number, address and what's happening with the roof, overnight included. A roofer calls you back the same day to plan the visit. If water is coming in, say so and that call goes first.
