Roofing Contractors Serving Beckley, Charleston & Princeton, WV

A simple way to think about it is this. If the problem is small and in one spot, a roof repair is usually enough. If you are seeing issues in different areas or your roof is getting older, a full roof replacement is often the better long term fix.

Repair is usually the right move when:

• You notice a few missing, cracked or lifted shingles in one area
• You have one small leak after a storm
• There are minor flashing problems around a chimney, skylight or vent

A new roof often makes more sense if:

• You have leaks in several rooms or on different sides of the house
• Shingles are curling, cracking or losing a lot of granules into the gutters
• The roof feels soft or spongy when you walk on it
• Your asphalt shingle roof is around 20 to 30 years old or needs constant repairs

Metal roofs and flat or low slope roofs, including EPDM rubber systems, can last longer than standard asphalt shingles. If you find yourself fixing new leaks every season, replacing the roof usually costs less over time than chasing patch after patch. If you are not sure what you need, Truline General Contracting can complete a roof inspection, show you photos of what we find and walk through the pros and cons of repair versus replacement for your home and budget.

Yes. We help with both storm damage repairs and the insurance claim process for hail, wind and fallen tree damage.

Here is what usually happens after a storm in Raleigh, Kanawha, Mercer and nearby counties:

• Inspection and documentation: We check your roof, take clear photos and video of the damage and provide a written roof inspection report you can send to your insurance company.
• Claim guidance: We explain what we found in plain language so you can decide if an insurance claim makes sense based on the damage and your deductible.
• Meeting your adjuster: If you file a claim, we can meet your insurance adjuster at your home, walk the roof with them and point out damage, measurements and local code items so important details are not missed.
• Repairs or full replacement: Once your claim is approved, our crew can handle emergency tarping, leak repairs or a full roof replacement using quality asphalt shingles, metal roofing or flat and low slope systems such as EPDM.

You make the decisions about filing a claim and choosing your options. Our job is to give you clear information and handle the roofing work so you are not dealing with storm damage and insurance paperwork on your own.

For most single family homes in West Virginia and Virginia, a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement is finished in about one working day, as long as the weather cooperates.

Most of our projects look like this:

• Day one, we tear off the old roofing, install underlayment and new shingles, then clean up the property before we leave.

It can take two or three days when:

• The home is large or has several roof levels and details
• The roof is very steep or has many valleys, dormers or transitions
• You choose metal roofing or a flat or low slope system such as EPDM
• We have to replace rotten decking or make structural repairs before the new roof goes on

Before we start, the Truline General Contracting team reviews your roof in person, explains the scope of work and gives you a clear schedule so you know how long your roof replacement should take and what will happen each day.

Truline General Contracting provides residential and commercial roofing across southern West Virginia. We help homeowners and business owners with roof repairs, full roof replacements, storm damage and seamless gutters.

Some of the communities we work in include:

We serve customers all throughout:

In these areas, our roofers handle inspections, leak and storm damage repairs, full roof replacements, new roof installations and gutter systems for asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs and flat or low slope rubber roofing such as EPDM.

Every roof and every home is different, so we can only give a true price after we inspect your roof in person. In general, roof replacement costs in West Virginia depend on the size of your roof, the pitch and complexity, how many layers we have to tear off, the type of material you choose and any repairs that are needed to the roof deck.

Some of the biggest factors that affect your roof replacement cost in southern West Virginia include:

• The square footage of your roof and how steep it is
• Whether we are installing architectural asphalt shingles, metal roofing or a flat or low slope system such as EPDM
• How many layers of old roofing need to be removed
• The condition of your roof deck and whether any rotten wood has to be replaced
• Access to the home, dump fees and any local code upgrades that are required

Most homeowners we work with in Beckley, Charleston, Princeton, Bluefield and nearby West Virginia communities start with a free roof inspection and written estimate. After we measure your roof and check its condition, we give you a clear line item proposal so you know exactly what your new roof will cost before you decide.

If your roof is leaking, the most important step is to protect your home and call a local roofer you trust as soon as possible. Try not to climb on the roof yourself, especially in the middle of a storm.

Here are the basic steps we recommend for homeowners in southern West Virginia:

• Move furniture, electronics and valuables away from the leak and put a bucket or container under any active drips
• Lay down towels or plastic to protect floors and help prevent water damage inside your home
• Take clear photos or short videos of the leak and any ceiling stains in case you need to file an insurance claim
• Call Truline General Contracting for a roof inspection and, if needed, emergency tarping or temporary repairs
• Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, especially if it is wet, icy or dark, since falls are a serious risk

Once the weather allows, our team can inspect the roof, find the source of the leak and explain whether a focused roof repair or a full replacement is the best long term solution for your home.

When you invest in a new roof, you should know exactly how it is protected. Truline General Contracting stands behind every roof we install in West Virginia with both a workmanship warranty from our company and manufacturer warranties from Atlas.

Here is how our roofing warranties work:

• Lifetime workmanship warranty from Truline: We guarantee our installation for the life of your roof. If a problem is caused by our workmanship, we come back and fix it.
• Atlas limited lifetime shingle warranty: When we install qualifying Atlas shingles, your roof is covered against manufacturing defects under Atlas product warranties.
• Upgraded Atlas Signature Select and Pro Plus Platinum coverage: Because Truline is an Atlas PRO Plus Platinum level contractor, we can register eligible full Atlas roofing systems for enhanced coverage that extends the non prorated protection period and can include additional labor and system coverage compared to a standard shingle warranty.

During your roof consultation, we explain the specific warranties that apply to your project, how long they last and how to keep your coverage in good standing, so you can feel confident that your new roof is protected for the long term.
