Roofing FAQ: Answers for NC Homeowners

It depends on your roof, so we don’t quote one number for every home. Size, pitch, number of layers to tear off, decking repairs, ventilation and the shingle you choose all change the price.

It depends on the roof’s age, how widespread the damage is and the condition of the decking underneath. Isolated damage on a roof in good shape can usually be repaired. Widespread wear, repeated leaks or extensive storm damage often make replacement the better long-term value. After inspecting your roof, we will explain your options honestly.

Look for water stains or bubbling paint on ceilings, damp or dark spots in the attic, drips after heavy rain, and missing or lifted shingles or loose flashing outside. If you see any of these, call for a free inspection; small leaks spread into decking and insulation quickly.

We recommend an inspection about once a year and after any major storm. Regular roof maintenance catches small issues like loose shingles or worn flashing before they turn into leaks and costly repairs.

Our inspections cover your whole exterior: roof, fascia, soffit, siding, flashing and leaks. We check shingles, flashing, vents and the roof edge, look over fascia boards, soffits and siding for storm, wind or hail damage, and trace any leaks to their source. We show you photos of what we find, and we can take care of any damage we find. Inspections are free.

Common signs include missing, creased or lifted shingles, granules collecting in gutters, dented vents or flashing, and new leaks or ceiling stains after high winds or hail. Many damage signs are hard to see from the ground, so a professional inspection is the safest way to know. Please do not climb on your roof yourself.

Make sure everyone is safe, take photos of any visible damage from the ground, protect belongings from leaks, and call us for an inspection. If you plan to file a claim, contact your insurance company promptly and keep records of any temporary repairs.
