Roofing for Bentonville — new builds, old square, same hail
Bentonville is growing faster than almost anywhere in Arkansas, and its roofs range from 1900s square-side bungalows to five-year-old builder shingles that have already seen two hail seasons.
Bentonville added nearly 3 percent in a single year to reach 59,471 people, and it shows on the roofline: new subdivisions filling in toward Centerton and Bella Vista, townhomes and apartments around the Walmart home office and the 8th Street Market, and the older streets around the downtown square and Crystal Bridges with hundred-year-old houses on their fourth or fifth roof. On May 26, 2024, two EF-2 tornadoes tracked near Centerton on the city's west side and the straight-line winds that hit Rogers hit Bentonville too. Every spring since has brought the usual hail.
The particular Bentonville problem is the builder roof. A five-year-old subdivision roof installed by a production crew often has four nails where it needs six, no ice barrier, minimal ventilation and a bare-minimum three-tab or entry-level architectural shingle — and it's had two hail seasons. We inspect those honestly, document what's storm damage and what's installation, and rebuild them to spec. On the square-side historics, it's flashing, chimneys and steep, cut-up roofs. Either way, Bentonville permits the work and we pull it.

Questions from Bentonville homeowners
My Bentonville house is five years old. Could the roof already have hail damage?
Yes. Two or three hail seasons is enough to bruise an entry-level shingle, and builder roofs are often thinner and under-nailed. The free inspection tells you whether it's a claim, a repair or fine.
Does Bentonville require a roofing permit?
Yes, for roof-covering replacement, through the City of Bentonville's Building Division. We pull it and it's on the invoice.
Were the 2024 tornadoes near Bentonville?
Two EF-2 tornadoes tracked near Centerton on May 26, 2024, and Bentonville took straight-line winds that morning. Roofs on the west side that were never inspected are worth a look.
Do you work on the older homes around the square?
Yes — steep, cut-up roofs, limestone and brick chimneys, dormers and porches. Flashing done in mortar joints, not caulk.
Can you do standing seam on a new build?
Yes. We work with builders and homeowners on standing seam and stone-coated steel for new homes in Bentonville and Centerton, with the underlayment and snow-guard details Ozark winters need.
