Roof Installation in Hickory, NC

Veteran-owned, CertainTeed & Owens Corning certified, serving Hickory and 8 NC counties since 1995.

Service Detail

New Roof Installation Done Right the First Time

A roof fails at its details long before it fails at its shingles. Underlayment, starter course, valley construction, flashing at every penetration, fastener pattern, and ventilation balance are what determine whether a roof reaches its rated life or quietly starts leaking in year seven. Material choice matters — installation matters more.

S&S Roofing installs new roofs on new construction, additions, and replacement projects across Hickory and the NC Foothills. We are veteran-owned and locally operated since 1995, and we are certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF — which lets us register extended manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer.

Every full installation carries our 5-year workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's material coverage, and the crew on your roof is our crew. We do not subcontract installations.

What We Do

Our Roof Installation Services

New Construction Roofing

We work from your plans and coordinate with your builder's schedule to dry-in the structure on time. Correct sequencing here protects everything below it, and a roof installed properly at the framing stage does not become the punch-list item that delays your close.

Architectural Shingle Installation

The workhorse of Foothills roofing: dimensional asphalt shingles from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF in a wide range of colors and profiles. Durable, cost-effective, and available with extended warranties through our certifications. See shingle roofing.

Metal Roof Installation

Standing seam and metal panel systems for homeowners who want 40 to 70 years of service life and near-zero maintenance. More detail on our metal roofing page.

Low-Slope & Flat Systems

TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen for flat and low-slope sections — porches, additions, and commercial buildings — where standard shingles simply will not shed water reliably. See flat roofing.

Ventilation Design & Installation

Ridge vents, soffit intake, and balanced airflow are engineered as part of the system, not bolted on afterward. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from underneath and is a leading cause of premature roof failure — and of voided manufacturer warranties.

Decking Inspection & Replacement

Once the old roof is off, we inspect every square foot of sheathing and replace anything soft, delaminated, or rotted. New shingles over bad decking is a guaranteed callback, and we do not build that in.

The Payoff

Benefits of Professional Roof Installation

Certified Installation Protects Your Warranty

Manufacturer warranties assume the roof was installed to their specification. As a certified installer for four major brands, we install to spec and register the system — so the coverage is real and claimable.

Built for the Foothills Climate

Materials and detailing are selected for what actually happens here: summer heat, hail, wind-driven rain, and freeze-thaw. A roof specified for a milder climate underperforms on a Catawba County house.

Correct Ventilation From Day One

Balanced intake and exhaust extends shingle life, lowers cooling costs, and prevents the attic moisture problems that lead to mold and decking rot.

One Accountable Crew

Our own employees do the work start to finish. There is no subcontractor to blame and no gap between who sold the job and who did it.

Written Timeline, Clean Site

You get a specific schedule with your free estimate, and the property is protected, swept, and magnet-run at the end of each day.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty

Beyond the manufacturer's material warranty, our own workmanship coverage means installation defects are our problem to fix, not yours to argue about.

Why S&S Roofing

Why Homeowners Across the Foothills Choose Us

Veteran-Owned Since 1995

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.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty

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.

Four Manufacturer Certifications

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.

Our Own Crews — Never Subcontracted

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.

Fully Insured — $2M General Liability

We carry $2M general liability plus workers' compensation. Certificates are available on request before we set foot on your property.

We Own Our Work

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.

A Roof System, Not Just a Roof Covering

A properly installed roof is a system — deck, underlayment, flashing, field, ridge, and ventilation all working together. Get one component wrong and the rest of it eventually pays for the mistake. S&S Roofing has been installing that system across Hickory, Newton, Conover, Taylorsville, Statesville, Morganton, Lenoir, and Lincolnton since 1995. We are veteran-owned, fully insured, certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF, and we back every full installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Free estimates, honest timelines, and a crew that answers to us.

Good to Know

Roof Installation FAQs

Most residential installations are completed in one day. Larger homes, steep pitches, and complex rooflines with multiple gables and valleys can take two to three days. You get the specific timeline in writing with your free estimate.

Architectural and designer asphalt shingles, standing seam and panel metal roofing, and low-slope membrane systems including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. We are certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF, so there is a wide range of colors, profiles, and price points to choose from.

Roughly $4 to $40 per square foot depending on material and complexity. Standard architectural asphalt sits at the low end; premium designer, metal, and specialty systems run higher. Pitch, roof complexity, and decking condition all move the number. Estimates are free and itemized, and financing is available.

Yes — a 5-year workmanship warranty on all full installations and re-roofs, plus the manufacturer's material warranty. Our certifications with four major manufacturers also let us offer extended coverage options.

Anywhere from 25 years to a lifetime depending on which shingle you choose. Architectural asphalt typically runs 25-30 years; premium designer shingles and metal systems go considerably longer. Ventilation and installation quality have a large effect on where you land in that range.

Yes. We work from plans, coordinate with your builder's schedule, and dry-in the structure on time so the rest of the trades are not held up.

Sometimes, but we usually advise against it. Code generally allows up to two layers, but layering hides decking problems and shortens the life of the new roof. We inspect and tell you honestly whether a tear-off is warranted.

Our own crews. S&S Roofing does not subcontract installations — the people on your roof are our employees and answer to us.
