A roof inspection should end with a straight answer, not a sales pitch. Sometimes the answer is that you have five good years left and one flashing detail to fix. Sometimes it is that the decking is soft and you are one storm from an interior problem. Either way, you deserve to be told which one it is.
S&S Roofing performs free, no-obligation on-site roof inspections across Hickory, Catawba County, and the NC Foothills. We examine the full system — shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations, ridge, gutters, and attic ventilation — and give you a written assessment of what we found.
Most leaks end up being minor repairs. We say that on every page because it is true, and because a roofer whose inspection always concludes with a full replacement is not inspecting, they are prospecting.
Shingle condition, granule loss, cracking, curling, lifting, hail bruising, and wind creasing across the entire field — not a glance from the driveway.
Chimneys, skylights, vent boots, valleys, and wall transitions. This is where a large share of leaks actually originate, and it is the first place we look. See flashing and vent repair.
From inside we check for daylight, moisture staining, mold, and inadequate intake or exhaust. Bad ventilation cooks a roof from underneath and voids manufacturer warranties.
Soft spots, sagging, and delaminated sheathing. If the substrate is failing, no surface treatment will save the roof.
Backed-up or sagging gutters push water back under the shingle edge and rot the fascia. It is a common and cheap-to-fix cause of what looks like a roof leak. See gutter repair.
If we find storm-related damage, we document it in the format adjusters expect. See insurance claim assistance.
A failed vent boot found in March is a small repair. Found in November, after a season of water in the insulation, it is a very different bill.
Guessing about roof age and condition makes budgeting impossible. A written assessment tells you whether you are planning for next spring or in five years.
Storm damage that is inspected and documented promptly is far easier to claim than damage discovered a year later, when the carrier will reasonably ask when it happened.
Some manufacturer warranties expect periodic inspection and maintenance. Neglect can become a reason for a denied claim.
Buying or selling, roof condition is one of the first questions. A professional written inspection removes the uncertainty from the negotiation.
Our on-site inspection and written estimate cost nothing and commit you to nothing. If the answer is that you do not need work, that is the answer you will get.
S&S Roofing has been veteran-owned and locally operated since 1995 — over 30 years and 4,500+ roofs across the NC Foothills. You are hiring the same company that shows up on your roof.
Every full re-roof and full roof replacement carries a 5-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's material warranty. If our installation is the problem, we come back and fix it.
We are certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF — including CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster and Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, a tier held by roughly the top 1% of contractors nationwide.
The crew on your roof works for S&S Roofing. We do not sell your job to a subcontractor, which is how quality and accountability get lost on most roofing projects.
We carry $2M general liability plus workers' compensation. Certificates are available on request before we set foot on your property.
If we make a mistake, we make it right. That is the whole policy, and it is why most of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers across eight counties.
We have inspected a lot of roofs across the Foothills since 1995, and a meaningful share of those inspections ended with us telling the homeowner their roof was fine. That is not a bad outcome for us — it is why people call us back when it eventually is not fine, and why they send us to their neighbors. S&S Roofing is veteran-owned, fully insured, and certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF. We serve Hickory, Newton, Conover, Taylorsville, Statesville, Morganton, Lenoir, Lincolnton, and the surrounding counties. The inspection is free. Call (828) 495-1805.
Nothing. S&S Roofing provides free, no-obligation on-site inspections and written estimates throughout Hickory and all eight counties we serve.
Once a year is a reasonable baseline, plus after any significant hail or high-wind event. Older roofs, and roofs with a history of problems, benefit from more frequent checks.
The signs homeowners can spot themselves are missing or loose shingles, leaks or water stains on interior ceilings, and damaged or missing flashing around roof penetrations. Granules in the gutters and any sagging are also worth a call.
No. Most leaks end up being minor repairs, and we say so when that is the case. An inspection that always concludes with a full replacement is a sales call, not an inspection.
Yes. We document storm and hail damage with photos and written assessments that support your claim, and we can meet your adjuster on site.
Yes, where access allows. A lot of what a roof is doing is only visible from underneath — daylight through the deck, moisture staining, mold, and inadequate ventilation all show up in the attic first.
Typically under an hour for a standard residential roof, depending on size and complexity. You will have our findings before we leave.
Yes, and it is a good idea. Roof condition is one of the largest single variables in a home purchase, and a written professional assessment gives you real footing in the negotiation.
