Gate City, VA service area
Come up 23 through Moccasin Gap and you're in Gate City, the Scott County seat. White's Roofing Co is a family roofing company in Gate City, VA and the hollows around it, doing roof replacement, roof repair, and shingle and metal roofing since 1973.
Since 1973
Gate City sits tight against the mountains, and its roofs take more weather than the ones down in Kingsport. A roofing company in Gate City, VA needs to plan for steep lots, narrow roads and hard winters, and we do.
The streets near the courthouse have houses that have been through a lot of roofs. Two layers of shingles is common, and sometimes there's old metal under the shingles too.
All of it comes off, the decking gets checked and fixed, and the new roof goes on clean. Here's how we take a roof from tear-off to finished.
Wind comes down off the ridges and through the gap with nothing to slow it. Standing-seam metal is fastened along each panel's length and stays put when shingles would lift.
It also sheds snow and ice faster, which matters in a Scott County winter. It's more money up front and a roof that lasts a long time.
Plenty of homes in and around Gate City wear asphalt shingles on simple gable roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard now, and most of these take a day or two.
New underlayment, drip edge and flashing go on every roof. Read about how we roof houses in the region.
Most leaks start in the same few places: a valley that's worn thin, flashing pulled loose at a chimney, or a cracked rubber boot around a vent pipe.
If the rest of the roof is sound, we fix the problem spot and leave it at that. See what goes into our roof repairs.
Some houses out from Gate City sit up hollow roads that a loaded trailer doesn't take lightly. We'd rather know that before we're halfway up.
Tell us about the road and the drive when you call. We'll plan deliveries and the trailer around it so the job goes smooth.
Downtown Gate City and the road out toward Weber City have shops, offices and churches with roofs that have been patched for years. We re-roof and repair existing buildings like those.
We don't do new commercial construction or sub work. If you own the building, see our commercial re-roofs and repairs.
Bobby does a lot of roofing for investors who buy older houses to fix up and rent or sell. In Scott County, that's often a solid house with a roof that's past due.
Call with the address and your timeline. We'll tell you honestly when we can get there and what the roof needs.
Bobby's father started the company in 1973, and at 82 he still drives out to look at jobs. Bobby has been roofing since 1991, and his son runs things day to day with him.
We're licensed and insured in Virginia as well as Tennessee, and most of our work comes from people telling their neighbors. See all the roofing work we take on.
We get on the roof, look at the decking from the attic and count the layers before we give you a number.
If a repair will hold up, we'll tell you. If the roof is worn out, we'll price a new shingle or metal roof installation side by side.
