Metal roofs have a reputation for lasting forever, but even the toughest panels eventually wear down, and plenty of homeowners simply get tired of patching shingles every few years. Whether you've got an older metal roof that's rusting and loosening or you're ready to trade your shingles for something more durable, our metal roof replacement service can help. We work with homeowners in Mount Holly, NC, and throughout Cornelius, Davidson, Matthews, and the Lake Norman area.
Based in Mount Holly, NC, Walls Roofing and Siding is a family-oriented residential roofing and siding company that Brandon Walls started in 2022 after a lifetime spent around the roofing trade. The company focuses on exterior work for homes across the greater Charlotte region, including roofs, siding, and gutters. Metal roof replacement is one of its core roofing services, covering tear-offs of aging or damaged metal roofs, shingle-to-metal conversions, and the installation of new panels, trim, flashing, and fasteners made to stand up to Carolina weather.
Maybe your metal roof has rust spots creeping along the panel edges, or you've noticed screws backing out and rattling when the wind picks up. Other homeowners call us because they're on their second or third round of shingle repairs and want a roof they won't have to think about for a long time. Either way, drips around skylights, stains on the ceiling, and loose trim all point to a roof that needs attention.
On older metal roofs, the trouble usually starts small. Many exposed-fastener systems rely on screws with rubber washers that dry out and crack after years in the sun, while the panels expand and contract with every hot afternoon and cool night, slowly loosening those fasteners. Scratches and cut edges can open the door to rust, and worn flashing around chimneys and vents lets water slip right past the panels. Shingle roofs face their own battle with heat, humidity, and storm damage, which shortens their lifespan in our area.
Our process starts with a free inspection and an honest talk about what your home needs. We remove the old roofing, check the decking underneath, and repair any soft or damaged areas so your new roof has a solid base. After laying down quality underlayment, our crew installs new metal panels, trim, and flashing around every penetration, securing everything with the right fasteners for the system. For shingle-to-metal conversions, we also handle the details at the eaves, ridges, and walls that help the transition look clean and stay watertight.
When we're finished, you'll have a strong, weather-resistant roof that sheds rain, stands up to wind, and keeps its good looks with very little upkeep. Many metal roofs last 40 years or more, so there's a good chance this is the last roof you'll ever need for this house. That's a pretty nice feeling the next time a thunderstorm rolls through Mount Holly.
Metal roofing keeps growing in popularity across the Charlotte region, and it's easy to see why once you look at what it brings to the table.
A well-installed metal roof can outlast two asphalt roofs. That long lifespan means fewer tear-offs, less hassle, and more value from your investment over time.
Unlike shingles, metal won't curl, crack, or shed granules. An occasional inspection and clear gutters are usually all it takes to keep things in good shape.
Heavy rain runs right off metal panels, which resist wind uplift when they're fastened correctly and hold up well against the hail and falling debris that come with summer storms. You also won't have to worry about rot or moss in our humid climate.
Many metal roofing finishes reflect a good portion of the sun's heat instead of soaking it up. That can help keep your attic cooler and ease the load on your air conditioner during those sticky July afternoons.
You'll find metal roofing in a range of colors and profiles that suit farmhouses, lake homes, and traditional brick ranches alike. It's an easy way to give your house a fresh, distinctive look.

Most homeowners are surprised by how quiet it is. With solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation underneath, a metal roof usually sounds about the same as a shingle roof during a summer downpour.
No. A home with a metal roof isn't any more likely to take a lightning strike during one of our summer storms around Gastonia and Charlotte. Metal is also noncombustible, so it won't catch fire if a strike ever happens.
That's a switch we can make for you. We handle shingle-to-metal conversions as part of our metal roof replacement service. If your neighborhood has an HOA, check its guidelines first, since some communities around Lake Norman have rules about roofing materials and colors.
Metal handles our climate very well. It won't rot, crack, or grow moss, and reflective finishes can help keep your attic cooler during long, humid summers.
With proper installation and occasional maintenance, many metal roofs last 40 to 70 years in our region. That lifespan makes metal one of the longest-lasting roofing options for homes in Gaston and Mecklenburg counties.
