Why Choose Appalachian Contracting for Your Roof Replacement

You’ll know who’s on your roof and when they’re coming. Caity gives you a start date and calls if the weather moves it, and the crew cleans up at the end of every day.

Most of a roof replacement ends up hidden under the shingles, so that’s where we slow down. We tear off down to the wood, show you photos of anything rotten before we replace it, and put new underlayment and new flashing on every roof.

Hired hands cut corners. Owners don’t. Ken Smith is a third-generation tradesman and the first in his family to become a full contractor, and he walks every finished roof himself before you get a bill.

Our workmanship warranty runs 3 to 5 years on most roofs, and it’s separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on your shingles or metal. You get both in writing.

Do You Need a New Roof, or Just a Repair?

Plenty of the roofs we look at don’t need replacing, and we’ll say so. Josh or Ken gets up there, takes photos, and walks you through what he found.

Signs it’s time to replace

  • Shingles are curling, cracking or losing their grit across the whole roof
  • Leaks show up in more than one spot, or the same one keeps coming back
  • The roof feels soft or looks saggy in places
  • There are already two layers of shingles up there
  • Your insurance company wants a new roof to keep your policy

If a storm did the damage, we photograph it, write it up, and deal with your adjuster directly. And if all you need is a repair, we do those too.

Not sure which one your roof needs? We’ll come look. Call 828-634-5200 Or request a free quote ›

What Franklin Homeowners Say About Us

4.9 Stars on 70+ Reviews

★★★★★

“We cannot recommend Ken, Caity, and their crew enough! They were wonderful to work with from the beginning to end of our full roof replacement. Ken offered a fair price and was easily accessible for any questions we had throughout. The crew arrived when they said they would, were meticulous in their work, and were beyond thorough in cleaning up at the end of every day.”

“Brett, Caity, Mario, Liz & Ken were all wonderful to work with. They kept their appointments exactly on time, got our roof done when they said they would (and in time for our homeowner’s insurance change,) and everything was as we asked and expected.”

“I requested a bid and it was extremely detailed. After agreeing to the bid, I was given an approximate start date and materials were ordered. After approximately three weeks, I was notified the team would start the following day and the job would take 2 1/2 to 3 days. The team arrived at 7:00 am and worked till 7:00 pm. The entire team worked tirelessly in extreme heat. All work was done within the 2 ½ day time frame and cleanup was thorough and neat.”

“Great work installing a new roof. Especially responsive to our "emergency" problem of the insurance company canceling our homeowner’s policy and giving us a short timeline to get a new roof in order to reinstate us. Appalachian Roof kindly made room for us in their busy schedule. Hard and fast workers. The manager, Caity, kept us constantly informed. So professional and extremely friendly. Good good company.”

Built for Here

What Makes Roofing in Western NC Different

Franklin gets about 55 inches of rain a year and less than 3 inches of snow. Twelve miles south, the Coweeta basin gets over 72.

So a roof here has to move a lot of water, off steep pitches, under trees that keep the north side damp and mossy. Your framing is still built for snow because the building code requires it, but water is what wears out a finished roof in Macon County.

That’s why we take extra time on the valleys, the flashing around chimneys and skylights, and the rubber boots around vent pipes. It’s also why your gutters matter more here, and we can handle gutter installation in Franklin on the same job.
