A small leak is a cheap problem and an ignored leak is an expensive one. Water that gets past a failed shingle does not stop at the shingle — it moves into decking, insulation, drywall, and framing, and by the time a stain appears on a ceiling the damage above it has usually been developing for months.
S&S Roofing has been repairing roofs across Hickory, Catawba County, and the NC Foothills since 1995. Summer thunderstorms, hail, high wind, and winter freeze-thaw cycles are the local reality, and they produce a predictable set of failures: cracked and lifted shingles, failed flashing at chimneys and valleys, backed-up gutters, and nail pops.
Here is the honest part: most leaks end up being minor repairs. We would rather diagnose the actual failure and fix it than sell you a roof you do not need. If a repair will buy you several more good years, we will tell you — and if it will not, we will show you why.
Finding a leak is the hard part; water travels along rafters and can surface far from where it entered. We trace the source — flashing, valleys, ridge caps, penetrations, fasteners — and seal the actual failure point rather than patching the stain.
Cracked, curling, lifted, or missing shingles get replaced with weather-rated material matched to your existing roof so the repair blends in rather than announcing itself. Damaged material is hauled away and the site is left clean.
After a storm we document everything with photos and written findings — the record your insurance adjuster needs. We repair to code, and we can work directly with your carrier. See our storm damage restoration and insurance claim assistance pages for how that process runs.
Flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, and vents cause a large share of the leaks we see — the field of the roof is often fine while the transitions have given up. We rebuild those details properly. More on our flashing and vent repair page.
On older homes we address what is under the shingles: rotted decking, compromised sheathing, and weakened rafters. Putting a new surface over failing structure is a short-term fix that fails on schedule, so we repair the substrate first.
When a tree comes through or wind strips a section, we tarp and dry-in fast to stop water from entering while a permanent repair is scheduled. Call (828) 495-1805 — storm and leak emergencies get same-day priority.
A $400 flashing repair today prevents the $9,000 drywall-insulation-and-framing job that a season of unchecked water intrusion produces. Repair is almost always the cheapest moment to act.
Targeted repairs on an otherwise sound roof can add years of service. There is no reason to replace a 12-year-old roof because of one failed valley.
Improper repairs — the wrong sealant, the wrong fastener pattern, a handyman patch — can void the material warranty on your roof. Certified repair keeps that coverage intact.
Water in insulation is a mold problem waiting to happen. Sealing the entry point early keeps the attic dry and keeps remediation off your bill.
We photograph and document storm-related damage in the format adjusters expect, which materially improves how claims are received and paid.
We tell you when a repair is enough. We also tell you when it is not, and we show you the evidence. You get a straight answer either way.
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.
Choosing a roofer matters most on repair work, because repair is where corners are easiest to cut and hardest to see. S&S Roofing is veteran-owned, fully insured, certified with four major manufacturers, and locally operated since 1995. We serve Hickory, Newton, Conover, Taylorsville, Statesville, Morganton, Lenoir, Lincolnton, and the surrounding Foothills and Lake Norman communities. Our crews are ours — never subcontracted — and every repair is done to North Carolina code with materials rated for this climate. If a repair we made does not hold, call us and we will come back out. That is what owning our work means.
Usually not. Most leaks end up being minor repairs — a failed flashing detail, a cracked boot around a pipe, a lifted shingle, or backed-up gutters. We inspect, find the actual source, and give you a straight answer about whether repair or replacement is the right call.
Look for water stains or discoloration on ceilings, missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, sagging areas, or daylight in the attic. After any significant hail or wind event it is worth a look even if nothing is obviously wrong inside.
Storm and active-leak emergencies are prioritized and typically get a same-day response. Call (828) 495-1805. For non-urgent repairs we usually schedule within a few days.
Most repairs are completed in a single day. Repairs involving structural work — replacing rotted decking or rebuilding a chimney flashing assembly — can take longer, and we will tell you the timeline before starting.
We strongly recommend against it. Roof work is genuinely dangerous, and a DIY patch can void your manufacturer warranty and cause more damage than the original leak. It is also easy to seal the wrong spot, since the visible stain is rarely under the actual entry point.
Yes — we warranty our workmanship on repairs. Material coverage depends on the manufacturer and the products used, and we will explain exactly what applies to your job before we begin.
Yes. We provide photo documentation and written damage assessments for insurance purposes and can communicate directly with your adjuster. See our insurance claim assistance page.
Wind, hail, and moisture. The Foothills climate combines summer thunderstorms, occasional hail, and winter freeze-thaw cycles, which together work shingles loose, crack sealant, and open up flashing details over time.
