Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:
- Roof Replacement in Gastonia — Replacing a roof here is a decking decision before it is a shingle decision. On the mill houses that make up much of the older stock, the boards under the felt were milled in 1902 or the early 1920s, and they set the price.
- Roof Leak Repair in Gastonia — A leak on an old Gastonia house is almost never in the open field of the roof. It is at a penetration, a transition, or a chimney, and on the mill-house plans those three things sit in predictable places.
- Storm Damage Restoration in Gastonia — Piedmont storms here are summer outflow, remnant tropical systems tracking up from the coast, and the occasional line of straight-line wind. On the mill blocks, one of those hits a whole street of identical roofs at once.
- Hail Damage Roofing in Gastonia — This is the page where we talk most people out of something. Gastonia sits well east of the real hail alley, and on an older roof here most of what gets called hail damage is simply age, sun and granule loss.
- Wind Damage Roofing in Gastonia — Wind takes the edge of a roof first, and mill-house roofs have almost no edge to work with. Shallow overhangs, no original drip edge, and rake boards fastened into end grain that has been wet and dry for a century.
