Gastonia · Gaston County · Retail
This is the Gastonia page for flat & low-slope roofing. The short version: you want a quote for a flat or low-pitch section that shingle roofers keep declining, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteSummer thunderstorms, not hurricanes, cause most of the roof damage here: straight-line wind, lightning strikes, and the occasional tornado embedded in a squall line. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Decade built, number of previous roofs, and any additions all move the number here, which is why a quote starts with a short conversation about the home's history.
What it costs in Gastonia: priced per square like any roof but with a wider spread; TPO and modified bitumen are the common systems, and a silicone coating over a sound existing membrane is the lowest-cost path when it qualifies.
North Carolina requires a general contractor license for any residential job over $40,000, and most full roof replacements clear that line. We verify a roofer's NC license and insurance before they're matched to any lead.
How it works
Not every residential roofer. Ask specifically whether the crew installs low-slope membrane or subs it. The tie-in between the flat section and the pitched roof is where leaks start.
TPO is a heat-welded single-ply, white, and reflective — good in Florida and Texas heat. Modified bitumen is torch- or self-adhered asphalt, more forgiving on complex details. Both are fine when installed right.

We verify a roofer's NC license and insurance before they're matched to any lead. Gastonia is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
