Gordon Roofing, Inc.

Roofs for the four-rivers region.

Replacement, repair, storm.

Residential roofing, done in the right order. Nothing gets covered up that should have been fixed.

Tear-off day: a worker hauls old decking past boarded windows, ladders and tarps on the lawn
New metal flashing at the base of a brick chimney, with roofing felt and a square nearby

Replacement, down to the deck.

Tear off, fix what the old roof was hiding, dry in, then shingles, course by course.

How a replacement goes

Repairs start at the flashing.

Chimneys, valleys, pipe boots. A repair should find the entry point, not paint over the stain.

What we look for
A dark shingle roof and brick chimney under a heavy gray sky

Storm response: the valley gets weather.

Wind and hail do quiet damage first. After a storm passes over your house, have the roof walked before the ceiling tells you.

Rise in inches over a 12 inch run, with the angle in degrees. The slope decides how a roof gets worked.

Pitch is the whole job.

  • 4/12

    The safety line. Above this, the rules call a roof steep and crews tie off.

  • 6/12

    The common gable. Walkable with care when the deck is clean and dry.

  • 9/12

    Roof jacks and toe boards. Slower footing, more surface, higher cost.

  • 12/12

    A 45 degree roof. Staging and harness work, and water leaves it fast.

Steeper costs more because there is more roof over the same house, and every step up it is slower.

A hip roof mid-replacement: fresh shingle courses laid partway up, underlayment above, bundles staged

How a roof job should go.

  1. Look

    Walk the roof. Measure it, check decking and flashing.

  2. Quote

    A written scope: what comes off, what goes on, what it costs.

  3. Tear off

    Down to the deck. Bad wood gets found now, not later.

  4. Dry in

    Underlayment and drip edge, so the deck does not sit open to weather.

  5. Shingle

    Courses climb from the eave. Flashing, vents, ridge to finish.

  6. Clean up

    Haul-off, then a magnet sweep pulls the nails out of the grass.
