Residential and Commercial Roofing in Stallings, North Carolina

The ranches and split-levels along the older corridors are often on their second or third roof, and the quality of the previous work varies. We regularly find a second shingle layer, decking that has delaminated around old leaks, and chimney flashing that was caulked rather than properly stepped and counter-flashed. Mature oaks and pines over these lots drop limbs and keep shaded slopes damp, so moss and algae growth is heavier than in the newer, more open neighborhoods.

For these homes a replacement starts with a complete tear-off and a deck check, and we are candid about what we find. Low-slope additions and carport roofs are common on this era of house, and they usually need a different material than the main roof, such as a self-adhered modified bitumen membrane or standing-seam metal.

The two-story homes in Callonwood and similar neighborhoods carry the hips, valleys and dormers typical of their period, and many still have their original roof or a first replacement installed without much attention to flashing details. Pipe boots, valley metal and kick-out flashing at the siding are the usual leak points. The newest townhome communities near US-74 are young roofs where the work is mostly storm repair and early corrections, and because the roof runs across multiple units we coordinate with the association when it holds responsibility.

Stallings sees the same summer thunderstorm pattern as the rest of the Charlotte area, with hail and straight-line wind the main threats, plus occasional tropical remnants that push rain sideways under shingles and against flashing for hours at a time. The older neighborhoods with heavy tree cover face limb impacts and gutter clogging, while the open newer subdivisions face wind uplift and full sun. Heat and UV age shingles on every slope, and algae streaking shows up early on north-facing roofs. An inspection after a significant storm, with photos you can keep, is the simplest way to know where you stand.

The highway and the rail corridor through Stallings carry auto service shops, contractor yards, small warehouses, strip retail and office buildings, most with low-slope roofs of TPO, EPDM or modified bitumen and some older metal roofs on industrial buildings. Typical work includes seam and flashing repairs around rooftop equipment, drain and scupper maintenance, fastener and panel repairs on metal roofs, and coating restorations that extend a sound membrane's life.

Because the town spans two counties, the permitting office depends on where the parcel sits. Where a permit is required, we handle it with the correct office and keep the paperwork with your project file.
