Roofing help in West Virginia
West Virginia's mountains mean steep lots, heavy rain, snow and ice. Older homes in Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown and small towns often have steep roofs, metal roofing and masonry chimneys, and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on flashing and gutters.

What roofs face in West Virginia
- Snow & ice dams
- Heavy rain & moss
- High wind & severe storms
Snow and ice
Winter weather in the mountains causes ice dams and snow-load concerns, especially on older homes with limited insulation.
Heavy rain and runoff
Steep terrain and intense storms send a lot of water across roofs and gutters. Valleys, flashing and drainage need to be in good condition.
Metal roofing tradition
Metal roofs are common on older homes and rural buildings, where they shed snow and rain well when maintained.
Older housing
Much of West Virginia's housing is older, including company-town homes and early 20th-century houses in river towns. Multiple roofing layers, aging metal roofs and deteriorating chimneys are common findings at replacement.
Licensing, permits and contracts in West Virginia
