Roofing in Hickory, NC: repair or replacement

Campbells Precision Roofing works Hickory, NC from our shop at 7730 Campground Rd, Denver, NC 28037. If the roof is still sound, we repair it. If it is not, the replacement is a full tear-off to the deck and a complete GAF system. We do not install a new shingle layer over the old one. The inspection is free. Call or text (704) 280-5996. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Why Hickory homeowners call us

Hickory is in Catawba County, and the city limits also reach into Burke County. The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates put the median year built for Hickory city at 1982, margin of error ±2 years. That describes the houses, not the shingles or the deck. We inspect the roof that is on the house.

We are a GAF Master Elite contractor and part of GAF President’s Club, GAF contractor ID 1114013. NC license #101889. BBB A+ since 2016. GAF is the primary shingle system. Designer profiles are installed as a Brava Authorized Contractor. Metal roofing is MRS. Skylights on the job are VELUX.

Roof replacement in Hickory

When the field is worn out, or the deck cannot be trusted under a patch, the old roof comes off down to the deck. We check the wood, replace boards that will not hold fasteners, and install underlayment, flashing, and a full GAF shingle system. Qualifying Master Elite installs can include an enhanced GAF warranty. Scope, timing, and cleanup are settled before a start date.

See roof repair and replacement for how we frame that choice. A house that should not get shingles is quoted on our metal roofing page, and metal on our jobs is MRS.

Roof repair

A wind-creased tab, a cracked pipe boot, step flashing pulled from a wall, or a vent that no longer sheds water can be a repair. We photograph the spot and the slopes around it. If the rest of the roof is fine, the repair stays a repair. If a patch would only move the leak, we say so. We will not dress up a failing roof as a small fix.

Hail and wind in Catawba County

One storm fact, and only this one: NOAA recorded quarter-size hail, 1.00 inch, at Oyama in Catawba County on July 10, 2025, at 7:53 PM EDT. That is NOAA event 1284764. Oyama is not Hickory. Hail can mark one street and skip the next, so a report is a reason to look, not a verdict.

Book storm damage inspections and the visit is free. You get photos and a plain call: repair, full tear-off, or leave it alone. If water is already coming in, we can tarp the opening. A tarp is a short-term cover while you decide. It is not a finished roof.

Permits on a Hickory roof

Building permits go through Catawba County Building Services, 25 Government Dr., Newton. North Carolina G.S. 143-138(b5) says a permit is not required for single-family work at or under the amount in that statute when the work is done to current code, unless a listed trigger applies. Load-bearing work still needs a permit. Because Hickory city limits also enter Burke County, and the city assigns code enforcement to Catawba County, that Burke County side of the city is still handled through Catawba County for code enforcement.

We do not guess the permit from the ZIP code. The scope decides it, and we say what we believe applies before the job is scheduled. If the deck is worse once it is open, we stop and talk before the scope grows.

Gutters and RainDrop guards

A roof does not fix a gutter that overflows into the fascia or dumps at the foundation. Gutters are their own scope: install, repair, and cleaning. RainDrop gutter guards are optional. They are not included unless the written estimate lists them. More is on our gutters page.
