What our customers say

HEP is by far one of the best companies, of any kind, I've ever dealt with. We've had HEP replace our HVAC system and just signed contracts with them for some major plumbing repair and a new roof. In our experience with HEP, we've found that they do everything, and they do everything really well. Which is great for us because we don't have to waste any time going through the giant pain process of finding contractors and then finding out if we can trust them. With HEP, the whole experience is like working with your brothers and sisters. Everyone we've met has gone out of their way to make us feel like we're part of their family. To me, the kind of quality service you get from that kind of a business relationship is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, HEP!

Tommy Fitzgerald and Jason Tew performed a roof inspection at my house. They were on time, courteous, friendly and respectful. More importantly they took pictures of my roof and explained each slide to me. I so appreciate their time!

We called Hep for a leaking roof. They were quick to respond and when they came out took photos to show us what needed to be done. The mgr. who had come out to evaluate the job came back to ensure everything he told us was to be done would be done. He checked out the job and we felt secure knowing everything was checked on to have been done correctly and what wasn't was redone right. Would definately reccommend Hep for roof work.

FAQs

What roofing materials do you recommend for homes in Rockwood?

Because Rockwood experiences hot summers, cold winters, and occasional severe storms, we typically recommend architectural asphalt shingles for their durability and cost-effectiveness. Metal roofing is another popular choice because it sheds snow easily and reflects summer heat, while synthetic slate offers premium curb appeal with excellent impact resistance. We assess each property’s structure, budget, and aesthetic goals before making a final recommendation.

How long should a new roof last in Rockwood’s climate?

A well-installed architectural asphalt shingle roof generally lasts 20–25 years in Rockwood. Metal roofs can exceed 40 years, and premium products like synthetic slate or standing-seam steel can reach 50+ years with proper maintenance. Lifespan also depends on ventilation, attic insulation, and whether routine inspections are performed to catch minor issues early.

What are the warning signs that my roof needs repair or replacement?

Common signs include curled or missing shingles, granule loss that exposes bare asphalt, dark streaks or moss growth, interior water stains on ceilings, and sagging rooflines. After high-wind or hail events, look for dented metal flashing and lifted shingle tabs. If your roof is more than 15 years old and showing several of these symptoms, schedule a professional inspection to determine whether repairs or a full replacement are more cost-effective.

How much does a roof replacement cost in Rockwood?

Costs vary based on material, roof size, pitch, and complexity. On average, architectural asphalt shingle replacements run $4.50–$7.00 per square foot installed, while metal can range from $8.00–$12.00 per square foot. Synthetic slate or specialty systems may exceed $15.00 per square foot. After an on-site assessment, we provide a detailed, fixed-price proposal that includes tear-off, disposal, permits, and warranty coverage.

How long will the roofing project take, and will weather affect the schedule?

Most single-family home roof replacements are completed in 1–3 days. Larger or more complex roofs and specialty materials can take up to a week. We monitor Rockwood’s forecast closely; heavy rain, high winds, or freezing temperatures can cause short delays to ensure safety and quality. We always keep homeowners informed and secure exposed areas with waterproof underlayment if unexpected weather moves in.

Do I need permits or inspections for a roof replacement in Rockwood?

Yes. The City of Rockwood requires a roofing permit for replacements that involve structural changes or full tear-offs. Our team handles the permitting process, schedules the necessary municipal inspections, and ensures all work complies with current building codes and local energy-efficiency requirements. Once the project is finished and passes final inspection, you receive documentation for your records and insurance purposes.
