Roof Replacement in Charlotte, NC

When we replace a roof on a Charlotte home, we start with a complete tear-off. That means stripping every old shingle, the underlayment, and any damaged flashing down to the deck. We don't lay new shingles over old ones. An overlay might save you money upfront, but it hides problems. Rot, decay, and granule loss don't get better under another layer. We've seen what happens when a second roof goes over a failing one—the deck sags, the nails back out, and the whole system settles into a mess that costs more later.

We inspect the deck board by board. If a section has rot or water stains, we replace it with new plywood that matches the original thickness. Then we install a self-adhered ice and water shield along the eaves and in the valleys—that's the extra layer that stops water from wicking up under the shingles during a Charlotte thunderstorm. We use ring-shank nails for the field courses, which grip the deck far better than smooth nails. The starter course goes on first, then the field courses, each one staggered so the seams never line up. That staggering is what keeps water from finding a straight path down to the deck.

A typical roof replacement in Charlotte takes two to three days for a standard two-story home. We protect your landscaping with tarps, we clean up every nail with a magnetic sweeper, and we walk the roof afterward to check for any exposed fasteners or loose shingles. The result is a roof that doesn't just look clean—it performs. It sheds water, resists wind uplift, and holds up to the hail and ice storms that roll through Mecklenburg County.
