Roofing in Gastonia, from mill village gables to newer subdivisions
Gastonia grew around its textile mills, and the small gabled houses built for mill workers still line many of its streets.
Gastonia is the Gaston County seat, west of Charlotte across the Catawba River; its permits come from local offices there, which we work with.
Gastonia had 80,411 people in 2020 and is the seat of Gaston County. Its housing ranges from early-twentieth-century mill village homes, compact and gabled with front porches, to mid-century brick ranches and the newer neighborhoods on the city's edges. Roofing work varies just as much.
Mill houses are small but not always simple. Many have been re-roofed several times, sometimes over the old layers, and their porch roofs often have separate, lower-slope sections. When we replace one, we strip it to the decking, repair or replace boards that have softened over a century, and rebuild the porch tie-in so it sheds water properly. Mid-century brick ranches usually need tired shingles, cracked pipe boots and chimney flashing addressed. Newer homes need standard replacements with good ventilation.
Gastonia is outside Mecklenburg, so its permit process is local. We confirm the requirements for each address before work begins.
