FAQs
How do I know if my home in Old Fort needs a full roof replacement instead of a repair?
Several warning signs suggest that a complete replacement is the smarter long-term solution: shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing in multiple areas; widespread granule loss that exposes the fiberglass mats; interior water stains or recurring leaks even after patch repairs; visible sagging in the decking; and roofs that are 20–25 years old. Because Old Fort’s humid summers and occasional winter ice can accelerate deterioration, we provide free on-site inspections and photo documentation so you can see the exact condition of your roof before deciding.
What roofing materials do you offer, and which options perform best in Old Fort’s climate?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal, synthetic slate, and premium cedar shakes. For most homeowners in Old Fort, architectural shingles strike an ideal balance of cost, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and algae-resistant coatings that combat our region’s frequent rainfall. Metal roofing is the top performer for energy efficiency and longevity—lasting 40–70 years—but has a higher upfront cost. Synthetic slate offers upscale curb appeal at half the weight of real stone, which is important for older mountain homes with lighter framing. During the consultation we compare life-cycle costs, local code requirements, and your aesthetic preferences to help you pick the right system.
How long will a full roof and siding replacement take, and will I need to leave my home?
A straightforward roof replacement on an average 2,000 sq ft home in Old Fort typically takes 1–2 days. If you pair it with vinyl or fiber-cement siding replacement, the total project runs 5–7 working days, weather permitting. We place protective tarps and magnetic nail sweepers daily, so you can usually remain in your home throughout the project. We only ask that pets and small children stay clear of the work zone for safety.
Do I need a permit for roof or siding replacement in Old Fort, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. McDowell County requires a building permit for any structural roof work, decking replacement, or siding changes that alter the home’s exterior envelope. As a licensed North Carolina general contractor, we pull all necessary permits, schedule county inspections, and provide you with final approval documents for your records. Permit fees are always itemized in your written estimate—no surprise charges.
What will a new roof cost, and are financing or insurance options available?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, material, and whether decking or flashing needs replacement. In Old Fort, architectural shingles average $4.25–$6.75 per square foot installed, while metal ranges from $8–$12. We offer 12-, 24-, and 60-month financing plans through Synchrony Bank with zero or low interest (OAC). If your roof was damaged by wind or hail, we also assist with insurance claims by providing moisture readings, code upgrade documentation, and on-site adjuster support to maximize coverage.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All shingle systems include a manufacturer’s 25- or 50-year limited lifetime warranty, and our GAF Master Elite status lets us issue enhanced 50-year non-prorated coverage upon request. Metal roofs carry a 40-year paint finish warranty. In addition, we back every roof and siding project with a 10-year workmanship guarantee that transfers once if you sell your home. After completion you receive a maintenance guide, and we offer optional annual inspections at a reduced rate to keep warranties valid and catch minor issues before they escalate.
