At C&W Roofing, Siding & Window Co., we understand that replacing your roof is one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your home. After years of serving homeowners throughout the Carolinas—from Greenville and Spartanburg to Hendersonville and Asheville—we’ve perfected our process to ensure every client receives exceptional service and peace of mind. Here’s exactly what you can expect when you choose us for your roof replacement project.
Why the Carolinas Demand Roofing Expertise You Can Trust
Many homeowners underestimate the severe demands our region’s climate places on roofing systems. We’ve seen firsthand how the combination of high UV exposure, hurricane-strength winds, humid summers, fierce afternoon thunderstorms, and occasional icy winters creates unique challenges that accelerate shingle deterioration. While roofs in other climates might last 25-30 years, we’ve witnessed premature failure occur 5-7 years earlier here without proper installation and ventilation.
This is precisely why partnering with local experts like C&W Roofing makes all the difference. We don’t just install roofs—we engineer solutions specifically designed to withstand everything Mother Nature throws at the Upstate and Western Carolinas.
Step 1: Our Comprehensive Discovery Process
Your journey with C&W begins with our complimentary inspection, where we assess your roof’s overall health with the thoroughness that sets us apart. Our experienced team meticulously examines:
- Curling, cracked, or missing shingles that indicate weather damage
- Granule loss in gutters and downspouts, signaling advanced deterioration
- Soft spots that may indicate rotting decking underneath
- Improper attic ventilation or potential mold growth
- Storm, hail, or wind damage that might qualify for insurance claims
We capture detailed visuals through professional photography and drone footage, then sit down with you to review our comprehensive condition report. Our goal isn’t just to sell you a roof—it’s to recommend the most sensible long-term solution for your home and budget.
Step 2: Material Selection Tailored to Your Vision
Choosing the right roofing materials requires balancing durability, aesthetic appeal, and budget considerations. We offer everything from classic architectural shingles to impact-resistant designer lines and metal panels. Our expertise really shines when it comes to color precision—whether you’re matching Carolina coastal blue siding or coordinating with the prominent brick facades typical in Greenville’s historic neighborhoods.
When your materials arrive, we verify that shingle wrapper labels match your chosen color selection. If there’s any shipping error, we handle the replacement process immediately—no hassles for you. We also recommend energy-efficient “cool roof” shingles that excel at reflecting sunlight, perfectly suited for our region’s hot, sunny summers.
Step 3: Our Preparation Partnership
At C&W, we believe preparation is key to a successful project. That’s why we provide you with a detailed checklist to ensure everything goes smoothly:
Attic and Interior Preparation: We advise covering or removing valuable items from your attic space, as vibrations from the tear-off process can dislodge dust and debris. We’re transparent about our policies—C&W is not responsible for attic cleanup after project completion, so we make sure you’re prepared.
Exterior Considerations: We need all vehicles removed from your driveway by 7:00 AM on installation day, with access kept clear until 7:00 PM. Our dump trailer will likely remain overnight, but we remove it promptly after cleanup. We recommend cutting your grass short before we arrive—this helps our magnetic rollers collect stray nails more effectively during our meticulous cleanup process.
Utilities and Safety: We’ll need access to exterior power outlets or extension cords. If you have a pool, we’ll ask you to cover it for debris protection. We always prioritize safety by asking you to keep pets indoors or away from the work area during installation.
Solar Panel Coordination: For homes with solar panels, we coordinate with your original installer to arrange removal before we begin and reinstallation after completion. This ensures system integrity and maintains your warranties.
Step 4: Our Installation Day Excellence
Professional Setup: Our crews arrive at sunrise, immediately laying protective tarps over your landscaping, organizing equipment, and positioning our dump trailer for efficient debris removal. We treat your property with the same care we’d want for our own homes.
Systematic Tear-Off: We strip your existing roof down to bare decking, removing old shingles, underlayment, and flashing. Yes, this process is loud and creates vibrations throughout the house—we’re always upfront about this. Some debris may fall into your attic, which is completely normal, and we’ve prepared you for this in advance.
Thorough Decking Inspection: Here’s where our expertise really matters. We meticulously inspect every section of decking for rot or delamination, replacing damaged areas to provide a solid nailing surface. We never skip this crucial step because we know it significantly impacts your new roof’s lifespan.
Advanced Waterproofing: We apply ice-and-water membrane to critical areas like valleys, chimneys, and eaves—essential protection against water intrusion during the sudden downpours typical of our Carolina summers.
Precision Installation: We use high-performance synthetic underlayment for superior tear resistance compared to traditional felt alternatives. Our shingles are installed using manufacturer-specified patterns and pressure settings, ensuring your warranty remains intact.
Proper Ventilation Systems: We install correct intake and exhaust ventilation to regulate attic temperature, prevent moisture buildup, and extend your shingle lifespan—details that separate quality contractors from the rest.
Step 5: Our Signature Cleanup and Inspection
Our thorough cleanup process uses magnetic rollers multiple times to collect metal debris. We conduct a detailed 25-point inspection checklist to ensure our quality standards are met, providing you with photo documentation of the completed work and comprehensive warranty information.
Step 6: Weather Contingencies and Project Management
Carolina weather can be unpredictable, but we monitor forecasts closely and halt work only when safety requires it. Your home remains protected with underlayment until conditions improve. We’re transparent about our policies—any leftover materials remain C&W’s property and won’t be credited to your final invoice.
Flexible Payment and Financing Solutions
We make investing in your roof as convenient as possible. We accept secure online bank transfers through QuickBooks, cash, checks, and all major credit cards (with a 3% processing fee). We’re proud to offer 0% interest for 18 months financing through Synchrony Financial, making it easier to protect your home now and manage payments comfortably over time.
Insurance Expertise That Saves You Money
When your replacement stems from storm damage, our experienced team may identify additional damages overlooked by insurance carriers and file supplemental claims on your behalf. These approved supplements support your project without additional out-of-pocket costs—just another way we go above and beyond for our clients.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Most of our residential roof replacements take 1-2 days for standard-sized homes, weather permitting. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while never compromising on quality.
