H&S Roofing Company was founded in 1939. Edward "Ned" Arthur, the current owner, worked for H&S Roofing Company, for almost 10 years, when it was owned by its founder, William Spurrier, and purchased the company from the Spurrier family 20 years ago (1992).
Although primarily a residential roofing and gutter company, H&S Roofing Company has also provided roofing and gutter services for historic restorations (The Hezekiah Alexander House, the oldest home in Mecklenburg County; Historic Brattansville; the Historic Train Station in Salisbury, Latta Plantation and the history of Charlotte Museum) as well as for major commercial facilities and public buildings in the Charlotte/Metro Region.

workmanship in the area. While other roofing companies may take short cuts,
H&S Roofing still hand nails every shingle to ensure a solid installation that will
last homeowners for many years. In fact, we are so confident in our installation
techniques that we offer the longest warranty in the industry (Life of Shingle
Workmanship Warranty).
Sometimes what may “look” like a simple roofing problem, can actually cause
more damage than you may have imagined. Sometimes a roofing problem is
only obvious or noticeable after internal damage has been done. As Charlotte’s
best Roofing Company, H&S Roofing & Gutter Company has seen many types
of roofs and roofing issues. Here are five of the most common roofing problems
we come across:
1. Flawed Flashing
Improper installation of flashing could be the major reason for roof leak. Usually
the flashing is made of heavy rubber or metals to prevent leaks in the pipes and
at walls. Since it acts as the first line of defense from outside leaks, it is
mandatory that you take enough time to install the flashing properly.
2. Gutter Buildup
Places surrounded with gutter buildup on your roof are ideal for the growth of
mold and mildew. If you don’t want them to infest your home, it is recommended
that you clean up this debris right away which could be the result of stagnant
rainwater and heaps of debris on the roof. Periodical removal of this debris can
protect your home’s structure from getting affected with mold and mildew.
3. Shingle Damage
Shingles cover and protect the roof deck and keep the moisture away from it.
Any damage to this protection sheet can invite leaks and other related problems.
Examine your shingles regularly and if any piece is missing or worn out, replace
it before the problem gets out of control.
4. Damaged Soffits
Soffits are a good hideaway place for birds and other such creatures, squirrels in
particular, to rest. However, when the animal’s activity increases here, small
holes can turn into big ones, which certainly is a terrifying roofing problem.
3. Monitor soffits and do repairs whenever required to be sure that there are no
enough spaces for birds, or other animals, to nestle in the cracks.
5. Moisture
Not only does moisture from roof produce bad odor, it also encourages the
growth of mildew and mold which can later infest the whole home. A roof’s fascia
with traces of water running down and moisture around is a sure sign that there
is leakage in the roof which needs your attention.
Although some of these roofing problems may sound minor, do not hesitate to
call H & S Roofing & Gutter at the first sign of any roofing or gutter problem.
Roofing and gutter problems may sometimes appear minor, but the internal or
unseen damage could be greater if left ignored
