Hickory Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Hickory, NC for residential and commercial properties across Catawba County and the Unifour. A single grade for a whole roof is close to useless on the houses in this county. We report plane by plane, and buyers, sellers and owners all get the same format: a numbered sketch, a condition note for each slope, and a drainage map showing what feeds what.
The sketch comes first because it makes the rest legible. Plane one is the front gable. Plane two is the shed over the carport that plane one drains onto. When the report says plane two has four to six years and plane one has fifteen, the reason is obvious rather than arbitrary, and nobody has to take our word for it. Every photograph carries its plane number in the caption.
On each plane we record granule cover against the exposure, mat flexibility at a lifted corner, fastener condition where visible, seal integrity along free edges, and whether the deck moves underfoot. Then the transitions: every roof-to-wall run checked for a kickout, every valley checked for the fastener line creeping into the water path, every penetration checked at the collar rather than at the shingle.
The attic half is not optional and we will not skip it to save an hour. Daylight through sheathing, rusted nail points, compressed insulation at the eave line, staining that runs uphill from a drip mark, and whether the two attic volumes on a split-level actually have intake in both. Half the useful information about a roof is on the inside of it.
For a purchase we write the report to be argued with. Photographs are numbered to the sketch, remaining life is given as a range with the reasoning attached, and anything we could not see is listed as not inspected rather than assumed sound. An agent should be able to hand it to the other side without translation, and nothing in it is written to push a negotiation either way.
What we do not sell is the free inspection that always finds a roof. If your roof is fine, we write that it is fine, charge the fee and leave. The fee exists so that the report is never paid for by the replacement. A free look from someone whose income depends entirely on the outcome is widely available in Hickory, and it is worth a minute of your time to ask who that arrangement serves.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, a doubled starter band laid in the impact strip below an upper eave, 26-gauge painted W-valley metal beneath an open valley cut — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hickory and nearby communities including Newton, Conover, Long View, St. Stephens.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Hickory job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Catawba County and the Unifour means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hickory Chooses Hickory Roof Pros
- ✓We grade planes, not roofs. A stacked Hickory house gets a separate condition note for each slope, and you keep that sheet whether or not you hire us.
- ✓Receiving planes get a membrane across the full field rather than the customary three-foot eave strip, because the water landing there does not stop three feet up.
- ✓Kickout diverters go on every roof-to-wall termination we build. They cost very little and they are missing from most of the brick-veneer stock in this county.
- ✓We will quote a partial replacement when the lower roof is finished and the field is not, and we will tell you plainly what the color mismatch will look like.
The standards behind roof inspections
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections work we do in Hickory follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof inspections project in Hickory gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
