We are proud of the work we do here at Balken Roofing, but you don't have to take our word that we are the best roofing contractor around. Please see the reviews below that we have received from happy customers!

I am absolutely thrilled with my new roof and skylight installed by Balken Roofing! The roof pitch on my house is extremely steep, with an old 1970s acrylic dome skylight at the top. The crew was quick, efficient, made sure to protect the surrounding vegetation, and did an outstanding cleanup job afterwards. Rotted plywood was replaced, as well as matching tongue & groove for the porch which required a trip to a local lumber yard. A skilled carpenter worked alongside the skylight installer to replace the skylight and old exterior and interior trim. Thank you Chad Balken for your support, and all of the crew who spent a long hard day working at my house. My new skylight and roof are amazing!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We’ve used this company twice now, and both experiences have been truly 5-star from start to finish with Balken Roofing. The first time was a full roof replacement back in 2017, and the quality of their work, communication, and overall professionalism was outstanding. They completed the job on time, kept everything clean, and clearly take pride in their craftsmanship. The warranty they provided also gave us a lot of confidence long-term. More recently, we had them back for gutter installation and gutter guards on a guest house, and once again they exceeded expectations. They handled everything with the same level of detail, responsiveness, and professionalism we remembered from before. If you’re looking for a roofing contractor in Western North Carolina, including areas like Fairview, for roof replacement, roof repair, gutter installation, or gutter guards, I highly recommend them. It’s hard to find a roofing company this reliable and consistent over multiple projects and years. Highly recommend!

We had our garage & house fully re-roofed within 2 weeks of Steve coming out to take a look and price it out. The last homeowners did a diy and Balken came in and did a fantastic job! They had to replace about 11 sheets of plywood between the garage & house, plus a 2x4. The workers were...
We had our garage & house fully re-roofed within 2 weeks of Steve coming out to take a look and price it out. The last homeowners did a diy and Balken came in and did a fantastic job! They had to replace about 11 sheets of plywood between the garage & house, plus a 2x4. The workers were professional and all in sync with one another. They worked quickly and efficiently in 30 degree weather. I really thought the price was going to be more than it was but it wasn't. You can't beat the 50 yr warranty with 25 yr labor warranty. Very happy with our new roofs.

Daniel and the crew at Balken were great to work with. Very responsive on getting out to give a quote and providing solutions to some difficult parts of the roof. Team came out and did the full install in just a couple of days. Very hard working, fast and thorough. And a good cleanup as...
Daniel and the crew at Balken were great to work with. Very responsive on getting out to give a quote and providing solutions to some difficult parts of the roof. Team came out and did the full install in just a couple of days. Very hard working, fast and thorough. And a good cleanup as well. Balken had been recommended by a couple of friends, and I highly recommend as well.

Balken Roofing has been a staple in the Asheville area for decades and there is a clear reason why. As a professional in the industry, I consistently refer them because they provide my clients with quality service, products and pricing. They also offer great warranties that provide peace of mind...

Frequently Asked Questions

Skylight & Sun Tunnels

What is the difference between a skylight and a sun tunnel?

A skylight is a window installed in the roof that brings in natural light and can sometimes open for ventilation. A sun tunnel is a smaller system that channels daylight from the roof into rooms where a full skylight may not fit. If you are not sure which option is best for your home, contact us at Balken Roofing to request a free estimate and we will help you choose the right solution.

What rooms are best for skylights or sun tunnels?

Skylights and sun tunnels work well in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, closets, laundry rooms, and other darker spaces. They can make a room feel brighter, larger, and more inviting. If you want to improve natural light in your home, contact us today to request a free estimate and we will review the best placement options with you.

Will a skylight or sun tunnel help with energy efficiency?

Yes, adding natural light can reduce the need for electric lighting during the day, which may help lower energy use. Some skylights can also improve ventilation, depending on the style you choose. To learn more about energy-efficient skylight and sun tunnel options, contact Balken Roofing to request a free estimate.

Are skylights and sun tunnels a good fit for Western North Carolina homes?

Yes, they are a great choice for many homes in Western North Carolina because they bring in more daylight and can improve the feel of your living space. Our team understands local roofing needs and installs systems that are built to perform. If you are considering this upgrade, contact us to request a free estimate and we will guide you through the process.

Can a skylight or sun tunnel be installed on an existing roof?

Yes, in many cases we can install skylights or sun tunnels on an existing roof with careful planning and expert workmanship. The condition and slope of your roof will help determine the best approach. If you want to know whether your roof is a good candidate, contact us at Balken Roofing to request a free estimate.

Will the installation cause leaks?

When installed correctly by experienced professionals, skylights and sun tunnels should be properly sealed and integrated into your roofing system. Quality installation is important to help prevent leaks and protect your home. If you want a trusted team to handle the job, contact us today to request a free estimate.

How long does skylight or sun tunnel installation take?

The timeline depends on the type of system, roof conditions, and the scope of the project. Some installations can be completed quickly, while others may take longer if more roof work is needed. For a clear project timeline, contact Balken Roofing to request a free estimate and we will review your specific needs.

Do skylights and sun tunnels require maintenance?

Yes, like any part of your roofing system, they should be checked from time to time for signs of wear, damage, or debris buildup. Regular inspections can help extend their life and protect your home. If you want help maintaining your skylight or sun tunnel, contact us to request a free estimate.
