About Roofs in Martinsville
Martinsville has a courthouse square, a long history, and housing that largely predates the metro's suburban era. The White River runs through, the terrain rolls, and much of the town sits under mature tree cover. This is not subdivision work — most of these houses are individual problems.
What Fails on Martinsville Roofs
Old roofs on old houses. We find multiple layers regularly, original plank decking, chimneys that are structurally tired as well as poorly flashed, and porch roofs at low pitch that were shingled when they should have had a membrane. Add the wooded-lot problems — packed valleys, moss on shaded slopes, limb scouring — and Martinsville roofs tend to need more attention per square than newer parts of the metro.
Our Coverage in Martinsville
We cover Martinsville, the surrounding Morgan County area, and the rural properties in the hills around town. On older homes we quote a decking allowance in writing before we start, because on a house this age you genuinely do not know what is under the shingles until they come off.
Roofing Services We Provide in Martinsville
Roof Repair
Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and worn pipe boots. We find the actual source rather than patching the stain, and we put the scope in writing.
24/7 Emergency Service
A live dispatcher answers at any hour. Emergency tarping stops active water intrusion, with the permanent repair scheduled right behind it.
Storm & Hail Damage
Free documented inspection with photographs you keep. We check bruising and sealant bond by hand, not from the driveway.
Roof Replacement
Full tear-off to bare deck, decking quoted per sheet up front, ventilation corrected, lifetime workmanship warranty on qualifying work.
Commercial & Flat Roofs
TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen and built-up systems. Documented inspections, maintenance programs, repair and replacement.
Gutters & Leaf Guards
Seamless gutters sized and pitched to the roof area they actually drain, plus micro-mesh leaf protection under heavy tree cover.

Every job starts with a free inspection, photographs you keep, and a written scope before anyone begins.
Frequently Asked Questions — Roofing in Martinsville
My Martinsville house is close to a hundred years old. Can you roof it?
Yes. Older homes need careful tear-off, decking assessment and rebuilt flashing rather than a production approach. We inspect for all of it before quoting.
What is under the shingles on a house this old?
Often plank decking, sometimes with gaps too wide for a modern nailing pattern. We may recommend sheathing over it, and we will tell you before quoting rather than after.
Why does my porch roof keep leaking?
Low-slope porch roofs need a membrane system and proper flashing where they meet the house. Shingles on a near-flat porch will leak no matter how well they are installed.
Do you serve rural Morgan County?
Yes, including the wooded and hill properties around Martinsville, plus outbuildings.
