Hickory Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Hickory, NC for residential and commercial properties across Catawba County and the Unifour. Wind takes roofs apart from the edges inward, and on a stacked house the edges are numerous. Every place an upper plane ends above a lower one creates a free edge, a pressure change and a starter course doing work it was never asked to do.
The first courses above a lower roof are where we look. An upper eave that overhangs a receiving plane sits in turbulent air, and the tabs there commonly break their factory seal years before the field does. Once the seal is gone, a gust gets under the tab, works the fastener hole into a slot, and the next storm removes the shingle entirely. You lose a strip along a line rather than a patch in the middle.
So the repair is not simply replacing what blew off. We hand-check the seal on every course within four feet of any free edge by lifting a tab corner. Anything that lifts without resistance is unsealed regardless of how it looks, and it will go in the next event. That check is what separates a repair that holds from one you pay for twice.
Re-seating matters as much as replacing. New shingles set in cool weather will not thermally seal for weeks, so along exposed edges we hand-tab with roof cement at the manufacturer's specified spot count rather than trusting the sun. Ridge caps get the same treatment, since caps sit on the highest-pressure line on the roof and are the piece most often found in the yard.
On fastening we default up rather than to the minimum. Six nails placed in the marked zone, driven flush and not through the seal strip, along every slope that borders open air. On a Catawba Valley house the west and northwest exposures see the strongest gust fronts off the foothills, and those slopes get the pattern whether or not the rest of the roof does.
Where we argue the other way: a homeowner with four missing tabs on a nine-year-old roof who has been told the whole roof must go because the shingles are discontinued. Color matching on a nine-year-old roof is imperfect anyway, and four tabs on a rear slope facing woods is not a reason to spend twenty thousand dollars. Take the mismatch, keep the roof, and revisit it when the seal check starts failing broadly.
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 wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing 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.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
