Stem Roof Repair, Replacement & Installation
From quick fixes to major projects, Stem Roofing & Maintenance has been the roofing contractor Stem homeowners call for 13 years. Here's a rundown of what we offer.
Roof Replacement
Full roof replacement starts with a complete tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every board for rot or soft spots. In Stem, we find decking damage on about 30% of tear-offs. Damaged sections get replaced with CDX plywood before anything else goes on. Then we build up: ice and water shield in valleys and at eaves, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, new drip edge on every edge, starter strip, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and ridge vent. Dumpster, permits, and cleanup included.

Roof Repair
We repair asphalt shingle, metal, flat membrane, and tile roofs. Our trucks carry common repair materials so most fixes happen same-visit. Shingle repairs, flashing replacement, pipe boot swaps, ridge cap fixes, valley re-flashing. All routine for our Stem crews.

Storm Damage Repair
Wind speeds above 60 mph cause shingle tab lift and adhesive seal failure per ASTM D7158 testing protocols. Our Stem inspectors check the entire windward exposure. Not just the obvious damage. Poor ventilation causes ice dams which cause water intrusion under the shingle field during freeze-thaw cycles. We document all contributing factors so your insurance claim covers root-cause repairs, not just surface patches.

Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material you can install. 40-60 year lifespan, virtually zero maintenance, and it sheds hail and debris better than any shingle. Our Stem metal crews install residential and commercial standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles.

Shingle Roofing
The difference between a cheap shingle roof and a quality one comes down to the system underneath. Shingles are only the outer layer. Ice and water shield in the valleys, synthetic underlayment across the deck, proper starter strip with factory adhesive, correct nailing pattern. That's what makes a shingle roof last in North Carolina's weather.

Flat Roofing
Flat roof leak detection in Stem: we start with a visual inspection of seams, flashings, and penetrations. If the leak source isn't obvious, we use electronic leak detection (ELD) or flood testing on membrane roofs. We find it and fix it. No guessing, no unnecessary tear-offs.

Commercial Roofing
Your commercial roof has HVAC units, exhaust fans, plumbing vents, and satellite dishes punching through it. Every penetration is a potential leak point. We install prefabricated curbs, custom-welded flashings, and pitch pans that handle foot traffic and thermal cycling without failing.

Gutter Installation
We hang gutters with hidden hangers screwed into the rafter tails or fascia board every 24 inches max. No spike-and-ferrule, no exposed hardware. Proper pitch is 1/4" per 10 feet toward each downspout. Too flat and water sits. Too steep and it looks wrong.

Roof Inspection
Roof inspections are free for Stem homeowners. No strings, no obligation to hire us for repairs. If your roof is fine, we say so. If it needs attention, you get an honest assessment of what's going on and what it'll cost to fix.

Emergency Roof Repair
Fallen tree damage requires immediate structural assessment before tarping. If a tree has displaced rafters, cracked a ridge beam, or pushed through ceiling joists, the structure is compromised. We assess from both exterior and attic, coordinate with structural engineers or framing contractors when needed, and tarp only areas that are structurally stable enough to support the tarp hardware. Insurance claims for tree strikes require separate line items for tree removal, structural repair, and roofing repair. We document each scope independently.

Skylight Installation
Tubular skylights work where standard skylights can't. Interior bathrooms, hallways, closets. A reflective tube runs through the attic from a small rooftop dome to a ceiling diffuser. Brings in surprisingly good natural light. We install them in 2-3 hours.
