Rise Roofing

Rise Roofing focuses specifically on roofing systems built for mountain conditions. Josh Whetzel founded the company in Oak Hill with a clear positioning: this is roofing designed for the Mountain State, installed by crews who live in these mountains and understand what the weather demands. The specialization matters because West Virginia roofing is not the same as roofing in flat terrain with mild climates. Mountain elevations create temperature extremes. Snow loads accumulate differently depending on slope orientation and exposure. Ice storms can shut down entire regions and damage thousands of roofs in a single event. Valleys trap moisture while ridges face wind. Rise Roofing installs knowing exactly what each property will face. Services cover residential and commercial roofing in both metal and asphalt shingle systems. Metal provides the durability and snow-shedding characteristics that mountain properties benefit from. Asphalt shingles remain the most common choice for residential work, with proper installation techniques that account for mountain conditions. Gutter services complete the water management system. The service area spans from Oak Hill through Beckley, Summersville, the Eastern Panhandle including Moorefield and Martinsburg, Canaan Valley, and into Winchester, Virginia. That geographic range means the company has handled roofing across varied Appalachian terrain and microclimates. Local, in-house crews provide the quality control that subcontractor-based operations struggle to match. Every installer understands mountain weather because they live in it. Clean job sites and warranty-backed installations protect both the property during work and the investment afterward. Direct communication means clients can reach the team by text or phone rather than navigating phone trees or waiting for callbacks. In-person quotes provide same-day estimates. Professional collaboration with insurance adjusters handles the claims process when storm damage is involved. Licensed and insured in both West Virginia and Virginia, Rise Roofing delivers the mountain-specific expertise this region requires.
