Roof Installation in Charlotte, NC
Horizon Roofing & Restoration installs new roofs on homes and commercial buildings across Charlotte and the Carolinas. A quality roof installation goes beyond laying shingles. It starts with an inspection of the existing roof deck, uses durable shingles, underlayment and corrosion-resistant fasteners, and ends with a final inspection and a clean worksite. Proper ventilation, drainage and adherence to building codes protect your home or business for years to come.
A Charlotte roofing contractor for new roof installation
Every home is different. We plan each roof installation around your home’s architecture, the Carolinas climate and what you need from the finished roof. Whether you are in an established Charlotte neighborhood or out in the country, our team installs new roofs with careful workmanship and quality materials chosen to stand up to local weather.
We don’t just install roofs. We handle the job from start to finish: an inspection using EagleView satellite imagery, help choosing materials, tear-off and installation, and a final inspection. We also work with homeowners on insurance claims and keep you informed at every stage of the project.
Our crews install asphalt shingles, metal, slate, cedar shake, clay tile and imitation slate or cedar shake, so we can meet the needs of homeowners and businesses across the Charlotte area.
Why Choose Horizon for Your Roof Installation?
Our Roof Installation Process
1. Inspection and assessment
We start with a comprehensive assessment using EagleView satellite imagery to identify existing damage and the exact roof replacement requirements. You get a clear, transparent evaluation of your roof’s condition and the recommended installation approach.
2. Material selection
We work with you to choose the right roofing material based on your home’s architecture, the local climate, your budget and your preferences. We provide samples and explain the options so you can make an informed decision.
3. Tear-off and deck inspection
Installation begins with careful removal of the existing roofing. We inspect the roof deck underneath and repair any structural damage or deterioration so the new roof has a solid foundation.
4. Underlayment and weatherproofing
We apply protective underlayment and water-resistant barriers, plus additional weatherproofing at vulnerable areas, to guard against moisture getting into your home.
5. Roof installation
We install each roofing component to manufacturer specifications, with precise alignment and secure fastening, using the right tools and techniques for the material.
6. Final inspection and documentation
The job ends with a thorough post-installation roof inspection. We verify that every seal and detail is correct, address any issues right away, and give you documentation of the work.

Signs You Need a New Roof Installation
Replacing a roof is a big job. These are signs it may be time to call a professional roofing contractor:
Extensive shingle damage. Multiple missing, cracked or curling shingles point to widespread wear that should be evaluated by a roofer.
Your roof is 20+ years old. Roofs wear over time, and one that is 20 years old or close to it may no longer protect your home as well. A roof inspection from Horizon is the best way to know for sure.
Leaks of any size. Moisture problems that simple repairs can’t resolve can lead to bigger problems. A professional roof installation can keep your home dry all year.
Granule loss. A buildup of asphalt granules in your gutters or around your property is a strong sign that your shingles are deteriorating.
Visible sagging. Drooping or uneven areas in the roof are a sign that the roof may need full replacement. Have it inspected promptly.
