BANNER ELK ROOFING & GUTTERS
Roof replacement, repairs, metal roofing, and gutters for Banner Elk homes, vacation rentals, condos, and HOA communities — from a locally owned roofer based in nearby Boone.
Banner Elk sits in Avery County between Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain, and much of the work here is on vacation homes, ski-area condos, townhome communities, and full-time residences on steep, wooded lots.
At roughly 3,700 feet, with ski slopes on either side, Banner Elk roofs carry heavy snow for long stretches of winter. Ice dams, snow sliding off upper roofs onto lower ones, and wind on exposed ridges are the problems we see most. We plan underlayment, ventilation, snow guards, and flashing around them.
A lot of Banner Elk owners rent their homes or live elsewhere part of the year. We coordinate with owners, HOA boards, and property managers, send photo updates, and schedule work around bookings and resident access.
Full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles, standing seam metal, or synthetic slate, with ice-and-water shield where snow and ice collect.

Snow and ice releasing from upper roofs can damage gutters, lower roofs, and anything below. Snow guards and smart layout prevent it.
Homes on exposed ridges catch strong gusts. High-wind fastening and sealed edges keep roofing in place.

Shoutout to RoofSmith Roofing for the excellent work this week! Prompt and professional with installers that were exceedingly careful with the property and grounds; I couldn’t have asked for a better company in which to entrust my home!
We used them for metal roofs on both our tiny house and our main home, and they were fantastic. Super fast response time, easy to communicate with, and just great people to work with. The quality of the work speaks for itself—we’re so happy with how everything turned out. Would absolutely use RoofSmith again!
Very professional and great communication. The best option in the Wilkesboro area. Job site was very clean when they were finished. Highly recommend!
Yes. We work with HOA boards and property managers on condo and townhome roofs, including phased projects, resident communication, and documentation for board records.
Yes. We can inspect after heavy snow, ice, or wind, send you photos of what we find, and coordinate access with you or your property manager.
We are based in Boone, roughly a 30-minute drive from Banner Elk, and we work throughout Avery County.
Look for a contractor who is licensed in North Carolina, carries both liability and workers' compensation insurance, gives you a written itemized estimate, and puts the warranty in writing. Ask who will actually do the work, whether they handle the permit, and for local references. Roofsmith Roofing is an NC licensed general contractor, fully insured, and uses its own trained crews on every job.
Yes. We are based in Boone and focus on Boone and Blowing Rock, and we serve all of Watauga, Avery, and Ashe counties — including Banner Elk, Valle Crucis, Foscoe, Seven Devils, Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Linville, Newland, and West Jefferson.
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the material, how many old layers need to come off, whether any decking needs replacement, and how easy the site is to access. Steep mountain roofs and metal systems cost more up front than a simple shingle roof. We provide a free written, line-item estimate so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Most High Country homes use either architectural shingles or standing seam metal. Shingles cost less up front and come in many colors; standing seam metal sheds snow well, handles wind, and lasts longer. Synthetic slate and cedar-look products are good options where appearance matters. We will walk you through the trade-offs for your specific home and budget.
Yes. After wind, hail, or ice damage we inspect the roof, photograph and itemize the damage, provide a detailed repair estimate, and work directly with your insurance adjuster. If water is coming in, we can tarp the roof to protect the interior while the repair is scheduled.
Every installation comes with our written craftsmanship warranty on labor, and premium shingle and metal systems also carry the manufacturer's material warranty. We explain both in writing before work begins.
