Weber City, VA service area
Cross the state line on 23 out of Kingsport and you're in Weber City. White's Roofing Co is a family roofing company in Weber City, VA and the rest of Scott County, handling roof replacement, roof repair and shingle roofing since 1973.
Since 1973
Weber City is small and close-knit, and the story goes that it took its name from an old Amos 'n' Andy radio bit. The houses here range from older homes off the main road to newer ones up on the hillsides. A roofing company in Weber City, VA has to be ready for both, and licensed to work on this side of the line.
Most of the houses near the highway are ranch homes and two-stories with plain gable roofs. Asphalt shingle is the usual choice, and most of those jobs take a day or two.
Architectural shingles go on nearly every one now, along with new underlayment, drip edge and flashing. See more on our residential roofing.
Older homes in and around Weber City often have more than one layer of shingles, or shingles laid over old metal. When that roof wears out, everything comes off.
Bare decking tells us what we're working with. Soft spots get replaced before anything new goes down. Read about our roof replacement process.
Houses up on the hills above town catch more wind and weather than the ones down along the road. Standing-seam metal holds tight and sheds snow and rain fast.
Metal costs more up front and lasts a good while longer. A steep, cut-up metal roof can take four days or more, and we'll tell you that before we start.
Spring storms come through the valley hard. A roof with loose flashing or a few lifted shingles will usually let you know at the worst possible time.
A quick look before storm season can turn a big problem into a small repair. Here's what a typical repair involves.
Shops, garages and offices line the road between Weber City and Gate City, and plenty of their roofs have been patched past their prime. We re-roof and repair existing commercial buildings.
New construction and sub work for builders aren't part of what we do. See commercial roofing for buildings already standing.
In town, houses sit close together, and the neighbors' cars and flower beds are right there. We place the trailer so the old roof goes straight into it, not into somebody's yard.
Nails and scraps get picked up before we leave. Give the neighbors a heads-up that it'll be loud for a day or two.
Older Weber City houses draw their share of investors and flippers, and Bobby does a lot of roofing for them.
A worn roof is usually the biggest item on a fix-up list. Call with the address and your closing date, and we'll be straight about the schedule.
Bobby's father started the company in 1973 and, at 82, still drives out to look at roofs. Bobby has been roofing since 1991, and his son runs the day-to-day with him.
We're licensed and insured in Virginia and Tennessee, which matters when your house is a mile into Virginia. Look over how we roof homes on both sides of the line.
We get up on the roof, look at the decking from the attic and count the layers before we give a price. No guesses over the phone.
If repairing the trouble spot will do, we'll say so. If the roof is finished, we'll lay out new roof options in shingle or metal.
