Gastonia's 1950s and 1960s brick ranches are solid, but their original roofs are long past end-of-life wear.
Gastonia's 1950s and 1960s brick ranches are solid, but their original roofs are long past end-of-life wear. We regularly tear off three layers of old asphalt shingles from these homes, replace rotted decking, and install new field courses with ring-shank nails that hold through high winds. The split-level and colonial homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have steep pitches and complex valleys—we hand-seal every flashing and use self-adhered underlayment to keep water from wicking into the eaves.
When tropical remnants push through the Piedmont, Gastonia gets straight-line winds that peel shingles and punch holes. We respond fast, tarp exposed areas, and work with your insurance adjuster from the first estimate to the final inspection. For historic district Victorians, we match the original profile with architectural shingles or standing seam metal, so your home keeps its character while shedding the rot that humid summers cause. Every job—repair or full replacement—gets the same attention to starter courses and staggered courses, because a roof is only as good as its weakest lap.
Whether your 1960s brick ranch near Crowders Mountain State Park needs a tear-off or your historic district bungalow needs a repair, our Gastonia crews are ready.
We recently replaced a 1950s brick ranch roof in South Gastonia before a spring storm, and the homeowners watched the rain run off without a single drip—that's the peace of mind we deliver.
