Hickory Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Hickory, NC for residential and commercial properties across Catawba County and the Unifour. On a stacked Hickory roof the upper planes and the lower planes do not wear at the same rate, and pretending otherwise is how homeowners here buy roofs twice. We price the planes separately on one estimate. Sometimes that means everything comes off. Often it does not.
A split-level, or a two-story wall landing in the middle of a porch roof, sends everything that falls on the upper plane down onto a band of lower shingles four or five courses wide. It arrives fast, carrying the grit it stripped on the way down. That band loses granule cover, the mat under it goes brittle, and the fastener line opens while the main field still has years of service in it.
So a replacement walk here starts with a plane inventory rather than a square count. Upper gable, lower shed, garage return, porch tie-in. Each one gets its own line: area, pitch, how the deck feels underfoot, fastener condition, and what lands on it from above. You end up with a sheet showing which slopes are finished and which are not, and that sheet is what the pricing comes from.
When the whole assembly genuinely is due, we strip to bare sheathing, replace anything that will not hold a fastener, and bring the deck nailing up to schedule before underlayment goes anywhere. Just under half of Hickory's 19,955 housing units predate 1980, and on those we plan for bad sheathing rather than discovering it. Deck repair is a unit price you approved before the crew arrived.
What decides whether the new roof lasts is the transition work, not the field. Headwall flashing goes behind the wall covering instead of over it. A kickout goes wherever a roof edge terminates against a wall. Self-adhered membrane covers the full receiving plane rather than the customary strip along the eave, because water coming off an upper slope does not politely stop three feet up.
Where we push back: the homeowner who wants only the lower section redone, in whatever shingle is cheapest, because that is the part that keeps failing. It is, and it will fail again in eight years unless what arrives on it is managed. Put the difference into the membrane and the diverter above it. That is a smaller job for us and a longer roof for you.
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 replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement 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 replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement 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 replacement 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.
