Roofing, siding, and exterior work in Mount Holly, NC, typically starts in the ranges below, according to Walls Roofing and Siding, a residential roofing and exterior contractor serving Gaston County and the greater Charlotte area. Roof and siding prices are per square, and one square equals 100 square feet.
Asphalt shingle roof replacement (Owens Corning): $500 to $850 per roofing square
Tuff Rib metal roofing: $700 to $850 per roofing square
Snap-lock metal roofing: $900 to $1,200 per roofing square
Standing seam metal roofing: from $1,300 per roofing square
Vinyl siding replacement: $700 to $1,200 per siding square
Horizontal Hardie lap siding: from $1,000 per siding square
Hardie board-and-batten siding: from $1,200 per siding square
Siding painting: $5 to $10 per square foot
Fascia and soffit replacement: $8 to $22 per linear foot
5-inch gutters: $11.50 to $15 per linear foot
6-inch gutters: $14.50 to $19 per linear foot
Gutter RX gutter guards: $14 to $17 per linear foot
Micro-mesh gutter guards: $35 to $45 per linear foot
Window replacement and installation: $500 to $3,000 per window
Roof, siding, and storm repairs: priced after inspection, $500 minimum where applicable
Exterior remodeling: priced after a visit to the home
These figures are installed starting points, not quotes. On exterior work, the final number depends less on the product than on the house it goes onto: the pitch of the roof, the condition of the decking and wall sheathing, the height of the walls, and how much old material has to come off. Each section below gives the range for a standard project and the conditions most likely to move a home above or below it.
Quick answer: Roofing is priced by the square, and one roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. A 15-square roof covers about 1,500 square feet of roof area, and a 35-square roof covers about 3,500 square feet.
Squares measure the roof itself, not the living space under it. A roof is almost always larger than the home's footprint because pitch adds length to every slope, overhangs extend past the walls, and porches, garages, and dormers add surfaces of their own. The square footage on a listing or tax record is not a reliable stand-in for roof size.
Siding uses the same unit applied to walls: one siding square equals 100 square feet of exterior wall coverage.
Quick answer: A complete Owens Corning asphalt shingle roof replacement in Mount Holly starts at $500 per roofing square and runs up to about $850 per square, depending on the package. Every package includes tear-off, disposal, materials, and standard installation labor.
All three packages are full replacements built on the same installation scope:
Removal and disposal of the existing roofing
Owens Corning shingles in the selected package
Synthetic underlayment over the roof deck
Ice and water shield along every eave and valley
Drip edge on all rakes and gutter apron on all eaves
Starter shingles along the edges and ridge-cap shingles along the ridges
Standard flashing and pipe boots, as specified for the package
Jobsite cleanup when the work is finished
The most economical way to replace the whole roof, with every component listed above.
Starting at $500 per roofing square
15-square roof: starting at $7,500
35-square roof: starting at $17,500
Steps up to higher-grade Owens Corning materials and added protection compared with the Good package, for homeowners who want more from the roof without moving to the top tier.
$600 to $700 per roofing square
15-square roof: $9,000 to $10,500
35-square roof: $21,000 to $24,500
The premium asphalt shingle option combines upgraded Owens Corning materials and enhanced protection with premium warranty coverage, including a 10-year workmanship warranty.
$700 to $850 per roofing square
15-square roof: $10,500 to $12,750
35-square roof: $24,500 to $29,750
Conditions that can push a shingle roof above these figures:
Steep pitch. A steep roof requires more safety setup and slows every stage of installation.
Decking replacement. Rotted or soft decking is often found only after the old shingles come off, and extensive replacement is priced separately.
Unusual roof configurations. Many valleys, dormers, hips, and walls to flash add labor and material.
Extra layers. A roof with more than one existing layer of shingles takes longer to tear off and dispose of.
Other out-of-scope conditions. Work beyond the standard scope is quoted on its own.
Quick answer: Metal roofing in Mount Holly starts at $700 per roofing square for Tuff Rib, runs $900 to $1,200 per square for snap-lock, and starts at $1,300 per square for standing seam.
Walls Roofing and Siding installs three metal roofing systems, and the system chosen sets the baseline. Exposed-fastener panels cost the least; concealed-fastener systems cost more because both the panels and the installation are more involved.
A ribbed, exposed-fastener panel is the most affordable way into a metal roof. Tuff Rib has a minimum of $700 per square, and roof pitch, panel length, and installation difficulty can increase the cost.
$700 to $850 per roofing square
15-square roof: $10,500 to $12,750
35-square roof: $24,500 to $29,750
An upgraded system with concealed fasteners. The panels lock together at the seams, so no screw heads show on the roof surface, and the finished roof has a clean, modern look.
$900 to $1,200 per roofing square
15-square roof: $13,500 to $18,000
35-square roof: $31,500 to $42,000
The premium metal option. Raised seams and a concealed fastening system give the roof a crisp architectural line and long-term durability. Standing seam starts at $1,300 per square and can rise with panel length, roof pitch, material selection, and installation complexity.
Starting at $1,300 per roofing square
15-square roof: starting at $19,500
35-square roof: starting at $45,500
What changes the price of a metal roof:
The system selected
Roof pitch
Panel length, since long panels take more care to handle and set
Installation complexity, including valleys, penetrations, and wall transitions
Existing roof conditions, including the decking and any old roofing that has to come off
Quick answer: Vinyl siding replacement in Mount Holly costs $700 to $1,200 per siding square, depending on the siding grade. One siding square covers 100 square feet of wall.
Economical, standard vinyl siding for a clean, low-maintenance exterior on a tighter budget.
Starting at $700 per siding square
Upgraded styles, profiles, or thicker panels that sit straighter on the wall and give the house a more finished look.
$800 to $1,000 per siding square
Premium vinyl lines are chosen for curb appeal, with richer profiles and finishes that change the look of the whole house.
$1,000 to $1,200 per siding square
What changes the price of vinyl siding:
The total amount of siding the house needs
The home's layout, including gables, corners, and openings to trim around
Number of stories
Removal and disposal of the existing siding
Trim and accessory work
Access around the house
The condition of the wall sheathing underneath
Not every siding problem calls for a full replacement. Walls Roofing and Siding also handles vinyl siding repairs and partial replacement, such as storm-damaged panels or a single weathered wall.
Quick answer: Installed James Hardie fiber cement siding in Mount Holly starts at $1,000 per siding square for horizontal lap siding and $1,200 per siding square for board-and-batten.
Traditional horizontal fiber cement planks. It stands up well to weather, adds real curb appeal, and gives the home the finished look of crisp painted lap siding, with far less upkeep than wood.
Starting at $1,000 per siding square
Wide vertical boards with narrow battens over the seams. The vertical lines give the home a distinctive look that suits farmhouse and modern styles, on the whole house or as an accent on gables and entries.
Starting at $1,200 per siding square
Both are starting prices for installed siding, not a set price for every home. What moves them:
The Hardie product and finish selected
Trim details around windows, doors, and corners
The layout of the house
Installation requirements, including removal of the existing siding
Access around the house and the height of the walls
The condition of the sheathing and framing underneath
Damaged Hardie and other fiber cement boards can often be repaired or replaced piece by piece rather than re-siding the whole house.
Quick answer: Siding painting in Mount Holly runs $5 to $10 per square foot. Newly installed siding that needs little preparation starts at around $5 per square foot, while previously painted siding that needs more preparation can run up to $10 per square foot.
The difference comes down to preparation. Painting new siding is mostly cleaning the surface and applying the finish coats. Repainting older siding can mean washing it, scraping away loose and failing paint, caulking open joints, and making minor repairs before the first coat goes on, and that preparation is where most of the added cost comes from.
What changes the price of painting siding:
New siding versus previously painted siding
Surface cleaning and preparation
Scraping and removal of loose or failing paint
Caulking and minor preparation work
Number of coats required
Siding material and surface condition
Height of the home and access to the upper walls
Quick answer: Fascia and soffit work in Mount Holly runs $8 to $15 per linear foot for aluminum-wrapped fascia with vinyl soffit or for wood fascia replacement, and $12 to $22 per linear foot for Hardie fascia and soffit. These are preliminary installed ranges that depend on the materials and the condition of the existing structure.
Fascia is the board along the roof edge where the gutters attach, and soffit is the panel on the underside of the overhang. Projects usually fall into one of four types:
Fascia replacement. Rotted or damaged fascia boards are removed and replaced.
Soffit replacement. The underside of the overhang is replaced, often with vented panels that help the attic breathe.
Fascia wrapping. Sound wood fascia is covered with aluminum, which protects it from the weather and eliminates the need for repainting.
Fascia and soffit together. Both are replaced as a single project, which is common when moisture has damaged the entire roof edge.
$8 to $15 per linear foot
200 linear feet: $1,600 to $3,000
500 linear feet: $4,000 to $7,500
$8 to $15 per linear foot
200 linear feet: $1,600 to $3,000
500 linear feet: $4,000 to $7,500
$12 to $22 per linear foot
200 linear feet: $2,400 to $4,400
500 linear feet: $6,000 to $11,000
What changes the price of fascia and soffit work:
Material selection
Removal of the existing fascia and soffit
Rot or damage in the wood behind the fascia
Height and access along the roof line
Project complexity, such as multiple roof levels or detailed trim
Quick answer: Standard 5-inch gutters in Mount Holly run $11.50 to $15 per linear foot installed, and 6-inch gutters run $14.50 to $19 per linear foot. Easy-to-reach, single-story runs sit near the bottom of each range; taller homes and harder installations move toward the top.
The standard size for most homes starts at $11.50 per linear foot.
$11.50 to $15 per linear foot
A larger profile that carries more water, suited to big or steep roof sections that send heavy runoff to one spot. Pricing starts at $14.50 per linear foot.
$14.50 to $19 per linear foot
Downspouts are part of the system. Walls Roofing and Siding installs new downspouts and replaces damaged or undersized ones, either as part of a new gutter system or as a separate project.
What changes the price of gutters:
Height of the home
Access around the house
Gutter configuration, including corners and breaks in the roof line
Removal of the existing gutters
Number and placement of downspouts
Quick answer: Gutter RX gutter guards run $14 to $17 per linear foot installed, and micro-mesh gutter guards run $35 to $45 per linear foot.
A gutter protection option built to keep leaves and debris out of the trough and reduce how often the gutters need attention. Pricing starts at $14 per linear foot and increases based on installation conditions and project requirements.
$14 to $17 per linear foot
The premium gutter protection option. A fine-mesh screen blocks smaller debris, such as pine needles and shingle grit, that can pass through coarser guards. Pricing starts at $35 per linear foot and rises with gutter configuration, accessibility, and installation requirements.
$35 to $45 per linear foot
No gutter guard makes gutters maintenance-free. How well a system performs depends on the product, the roof and gutter layout, the trees around the house, and how often the guards themselves are checked. Guards reduce cleaning; they do not end it.
Quick answer: Window replacement and installation in Mount Holly generally run $500 to $3,000 per window. That is an estimated per-window range, and specialty or custom windows can fall outside it.
Walls Roofing and Siding handles both types of window work. A replacement window fits into the existing frame opening, minimizing disturbance to the interior and exterior finishes. A new-construction installation removes the window down to the framing and installs a new unit with its own nailing flange, which is suitable for additions, enlarged openings, and walls where the old frame or surrounding structure has failed. It usually costs more because it involves more trim, flashing, and siding work.
What changes the price of a window:
Window size and style
Frame material
Configuration, such as double-hung, picture, or casement
Energy-efficiency upgrades
Standard replacement versus new-construction installation
Interior and exterior trim work
Repairs to existing frames or surrounding materials
Quick answer: Yes. Exterior remodeling is priced after a visit to the home rather than from a published range, because the scope differs so much from one project to the next.
Exterior remodeling brings several of the services in this guide together into one planned project, such as re-siding the house while replacing the fascia, soffit, and gutters, or pairing new windows with new Hardie or vinyl siding. Coordinating the work under one contractor keeps the trades in the right order and the finished details consistent from the roofline to the foundation.
The price depends on which services are combined, the materials selected, the size and layout of the house, and what is found once the old materials are removed. A walkthrough of the home is the first step toward a firm number.
Quick answer: Repairs are priced after an inspection rather than from a published range, with a $500 minimum where applicable.
Two roof leaks or two damaged walls can look alike from the ground and require very different work, so the damage is inspected first, and the actual repair is then priced. Services handled this way include:
Roof inspections
Roof repairs and shingle replacement
Storm damage inspections and storm preparation
Insurance claim assistance for qualifying storm-related damage
Vinyl siding repairs and partial replacement
Hardie board and fiber cement siding repairs
To schedule an inspection or request an estimate, call 828-851-6339.
Quick answer: Because the biggest cost drivers on exterior work stay hidden until someone is on the roof or behind the siding.
Roof pitch, the condition of the decking and wall sheathing, the height the crew has to work at, and how much old material has to come off all change the job, and none of them can be judged accurately from a phone call or a satellite image. A flat price that ignores them has to either pad the number for every homeowner or leave room for surprise charges later. A range with its cost movers spelled out is the more honest place to start.

The prices in this guide are first-party figures from Walls Roofing and Siding's 2026 work in the Mount Holly and greater Charlotte area, not national averages.
No. They are the starting points and typical ranges for Walls Roofing and Siding's work in the Mount Holly area. A firm price comes after the home has been measured and inspected, because pitch, decking, wall conditions, and access affect almost every project.
No. Roofing squares measure the roof's surface area, which is usually larger than the living area below. Pitch, overhangs, porches, and attached garages all add roof area, so a roof can measure noticeably more than a home's listed square footage.
Tuff Rib is an exposed-fastener panel with screws driven through the metal face, and it is the most affordable of the three. Snap-lock and standing seam both hide their fasteners. Snap-lock panels lock together at the seams for a clean, modern look, while standing seam is the premium system, with raised seams, concealed fastening, and a starting price of $1,300 per square.
Vinyl siding runs $700 to $1,200 per siding square, depending on the grade. Hardie fiber cement starts at $1,000 per square for horizontal lap siding and $1,200 per square for board-and-batten. Fiber cement costs more to buy and install, and homeowners usually choose it for its durability and finished appearance.
Often, yes. Walls Roofing and Siding repairs and partially replaces both vinyl and Hardie fiber cement siding. Matching older siding can be difficult, so the options are discussed after the damage is inspected. Repairs carry a $500 minimum where applicable.
No. Gutter guards reduce how often gutters need attention, but no system removes maintenance entirely. Results depend on the guard, the roof and gutter layout, and the trees around the home. Micro-mesh guards block finer debris than Gutter RX and are priced accordingly.
Yes, for qualifying storm-related damage. The company inspects the roof and exterior, documents the damage, and helps homeowners through the claim process. Whether a claim is approved, and for how much, is up to the insurance carrier.
Walls Roofing and Siding backs its work with a five-year workmanship warranty. The Best Owens Corning shingle package extends workmanship coverage to 10 years and adds premium warranty coverage.
They reflect work across Gaston County and the greater Charlotte area, including Belmont, Gastonia, Cramerton, Charlotte, Huntersville, and the Lake Norman communities. Travel distance and local permit requirements can affect a specific project, so it is worth asking about an exact address.
