FAQs
How can I tell whether my roof in Old Fort needs a repair or a full replacement?
Warning signs include missing or curled shingles, dark or soft spots on decking, interior water stains, and granules collecting in gutters. In Old Fort’s humid, storm-prone climate, these issues usually appear after 15–20 years on asphalt roofs and sooner on low-slope membranes. Our technicians offer free inspections and will photograph problem areas so you can see whether a localized repair or a full tear-off is the most cost-effective option.
What roofing materials do your technicians service and repair in Old Fort?
We handle asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, metal panels, standing-seam metal, EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, cedar shake, and specialty synthetic shingles. Because Old Fort sits in a high-rainfall corridor, we use manufacturer-approved sealants, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and proper underlayment for each material to extend service life.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak or storm damage?
Our on-call crews are available 24/7. For homes inside Old Fort city limits we average a 60–90-minute arrival time; for properties in the surrounding McDowell County area it’s usually under 2 hours. We secure the roof with tarps or temporary patching on the first visit, then schedule permanent repairs once the weather clears and materials are ready.
Are your roof repair services licensed, insured, and code-compliant for Old Fort?
Yes. We hold a North Carolina General Contractor license with a roofing specialty classification and carry $2 million in general liability plus full workers’ compensation. All repairs meet the 2024 North Carolina Residential Code and Old Fort building department requirements, including permit acquisition when structural work is involved.
What does a typical roof repair cost in Old Fort?
Minor shingle repairs run $250–$450, pipe-boot or flashing replacement averages $350–$600, and medium-sized leak repairs are usually $750–$1,200. Prices include materials, labor, debris disposal, and a 2-year workmanship warranty. We provide an itemized quote before any work begins, and financing is available for jobs over $1,000.
Will repairing my roof affect my manufacturer warranty or homeowners insurance?
Repairs done by a credentialed installer using approved materials keep your manufacturer warranty intact. We document every step with before-and-after photos and submit them upon request. For insurance, timely repairs prevent secondary damage that carriers might otherwise deny. If you’re filing a claim, we can meet the adjuster on site to ensure all covered repairs are included in the estimate.
