Roof Replacement in Hickory, NC

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

Service Detail

High-Quality Roof Replacement Backed by 30 Years of Experience

A roof is the one part of your home that is working every single day, and the only one you notice when it fails. Across Hickory, Catawba County, and the NC Foothills, seasonal storms, heavy summer rainfall, hail, and hard freeze-thaw swings put roofs under real stress — and when a roof reaches the end of its service life, timely replacement stops being maintenance and becomes damage control.

S&S Roofing has been replacing roofs in this region since 1995. We are veteran-owned, locally operated, and certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF. That certification is not a logo on a truck — it is what allows us to offer extended manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors legally cannot.

Every full re-roof and full roof replacement we perform carries a 5-year workmanship warranty, layered on top of the manufacturer's material coverage. Most residential replacements are completed in a single day; larger or multi-gable homes may run two to three. You get a clear timeline in writing with your free estimate — before anything is torn off.

What We Do

Our Roof Replacement Services

Residential Roof Replacement

We work quickly and cleanly, completing most homes in a single day with minimal disruption to your routine. Materials are matched to your home's style and the local climate — architectural asphalt, metal, or premium designer shingles. Whether you are in an older Hickory neighborhood or a newer subdivision, the replacement is specified for your structure, not a template.

Commercial Roof Replacement

We handle commercial systems including TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. We sequence the work to keep your facility operating and code-compliant, minimizing downtime for office buildings, retail, and light industrial properties across the Foothills.

Emergency Roof Replacement

Storms, high wind, and fallen trees can compromise a roof in minutes. We start with an urgent on-site assessment, stabilize and dry-in the structure, then move to a permanent system to stop interior damage from spreading. Call (828) 495-1805 and we respond the same day.

Roof Inspection & Assessment

Before you commit to a replacement, we inspect. We look for hidden leaks, failed flashing, ventilation problems, and decking rot — and we will tell you honestly if a repair will get you several more years. Most leaks turn out to be minor repairs, and we would rather say so than sell you a roof you do not need yet.

Complete Tear-Off & Disposal

We strip the old system down to the deck, inspect and replace any compromised sheathing, and haul everything away. Landscaping is protected, magnets are run over the site, and the job is left cleaner than we found it. Disposal is included — there is no surprise dump fee on your invoice.

Custom Roofing Solutions

Steep slopes, complex multi-gable rooflines, dormers, and mixed-material roofs all get a specified approach rather than a default one. With four manufacturer certifications we can pull from a wide range of profiles and colors to match your home and your budget.

The Payoff

Benefits of a Professional Roof Replacement

Real Protection Against Foothills Weather

A correctly installed system — proper underlayment, sealed valleys, correct flashing, balanced ventilation — is what stands between your framing and the next hailstorm. Installation quality matters more than shingle brand, and it is where most failures actually originate.

Lower Energy Bills

A new roof with correct ridge-and-soffit ventilation stops the attic from turning into an oven in July and holds heat in January. Proper airflow also protects the shingles themselves from cooking from underneath, which is a leading cause of premature failure.

Increased Property Value

A new roof is one of the highest-return improvements at resale. Buyers and inspectors look at roof age first, and a documented recent replacement with a transferable manufacturer warranty removes the single biggest negotiating lever a buyer has.

Long-Term Cost Savings

Chasing leaks on a failing roof costs more over five years than replacing it once. A proper replacement ends the repair cycle and eliminates the compounding costs — drywall, insulation, mold remediation — that follow water into a house.

Improved Safety

Aging roofs shed debris, hide rotted decking, and can develop structural soft spots. Replacement removes those hazards and restores the load path your roof is supposed to have.

Warranty Coverage That Actually Applies

Manufacturer warranties are commonly voided by improper installation. As a certified installer we register your system correctly, so the coverage you paid for is coverage you can actually claim — plus our own 5-year workmanship warranty.

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.

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.

The Finishing Touch Your Home Deserves

A roof replacement is a significant investment, and we treat it that way. From the first inspection through tear-off, installation, and final cleanup, you deal with the same veteran-owned team — not a salesperson who disappears after the contract is signed. We serve Hickory, Newton, Conover, Taylorsville, Statesville, Morganton, Lenoir, Lincolnton, and the surrounding Foothills and Lake Norman communities. Every job is completed in full compliance with North Carolina building code and backed by warranties we stand behind. If something is not right, we come back. That is what we mean when we say we own our work.

Good to Know

Roof Replacement FAQs

The common signs are frequent leaks, missing or curling shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, sagging areas, or daylight visible through the attic boards. Age matters too — most asphalt roofs are candidates for replacement past 20 years. That said, most leaks end up being minor repairs, so we inspect first and tell you honestly which one you are looking at.

Most residential roof replacements in the Hickory area are completed in a single day. Larger homes, steep or complex multi-gable rooflines, or multi-building projects may take two to three days. You get a specific timeline in writing with your free estimate.

Roofing runs roughly $4 to $40 per square foot depending on the material and complexity — a standard architectural asphalt shingle sits near the low end, while premium designer, metal, or specialty systems run higher. Roof pitch, layers to tear off, and decking condition all affect the number. Your on-site estimate is free and itemized, and financing is available.

Yes. Every full re-roof and full roof replacement carries a 5-year workmanship warranty from S&S Roofing, in addition to the manufacturer's material warranty. Because we are certified with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, TAMKO, and GAF, we can also offer extended manufacturer coverage that non-certified contractors cannot.

Yes. Most homeowners stay put. It is loud, and you will want to move cars out of the driveway, but we secure the work area, protect landscaping, and keep safe access to your doors throughout the day.

Yes. Complete tear-off, disposal, and cleanup are included in every full replacement. We run magnets over the property for nails and leave the site clean. There is no separate disposal charge on your invoice.

Code generally permits two layers of roofing, and some jurisdictions allow three. Once you are at the limit, or once the existing layers begin to fail, the roof has to come off to the deck. We check your layer count during the inspection and tell you where you stand.

It usually helps. The gains come mostly from correct attic ventilation and modern reflective shingle technology, which together stop heat from building up under the deck in summer. That protects the shingles and eases the load on your HVAC.
