Huntersville Roofing Contractor for Homes and Commercial Buildings

The houses in Huntersville's big subdivisions were built quickly and to a budget, and their original roofs were often standard three-tab or entry-level architectural shingles installed with the minimum ventilation the code required. Twenty to thirty years later, we find brittle shingles, failed pipe boot seals, rusted valley nails and attics that run far hotter than they should. Replacing one of these roofs well means upgrading the ventilation, replacing every pipe boot and flashing piece, installing ice and water barrier in valleys and around penetrations, and choosing a heavier architectural shingle with a stronger wind rating.

Because so many neighbors are in the same position, we often work on several homes on the same street in a season, and we are used to coordinating with HOA architectural committees on approved shingle colors. Townhome communities and the traditional neighborhood designs at Vermillion and Birkdale add shared roofs and tighter lots that need careful staging.

North Mecklenburg catches thunderstorms rolling off the foothills to the west, and Huntersville sees its share of hail and straight-line wind every warm season. Open stretches near the lake and across newer subdivisions with young trees offer little shelter, so wind damage to ridge caps and rake edges is common. Hail leaves bruises in shingle mats that are not visible from the yard but shorten the roof's life and can lead to leaks months later. After a storm, we inspect, photograph and document damage so you know what you are dealing with before deciding on a repair or a claim.

Huntersville's commercial roofs range from the varied rooflines and flat sections of the mixed-use buildings at Birkdale Village, to single-ply membranes on medical offices and retail centers along Sam Furr Road and Gilead Road, to large metal and single-ply roofs on manufacturing and distribution buildings along Old Statesville Road. Property managers here deal with the same heat, pollen, ponding and seam fatigue as the rest of the region, with the added wind exposure of open sites near the interstate. We provide inspections with written reports, repairs that address the cause rather than the symptom, restoration coatings where the roof is a candidate and full replacement when it is not.

Nearly every neighborhood built in Huntersville since the 1990s has an HOA with architectural standards, and some, including the traditional neighborhood designs, are particular about roof color, material and even the look of ridge vents and flashing. We prepare the submittals these committees ask for and we know the commonly approved palettes. Where a permit is required for your roofing work in Huntersville, we handle the application and the inspection through the county's permitting process.
