Roof replacement in Apex, North Carolina

Most Apex homes were built in the last few decades, and many of those subdivisions are reaching the age where the original builder-grade shingles start to fail. That makes "repair or replace?" the most common question we answer in Apex. Here is how we handle it.

Signs your Apex roof may need replacing

• Shingles that are curling, cracking or shedding a lot of granules into the gutters
• Leaks in more than one spot, or the same area leaking again after a repair
• Soft or sagging decking you can feel underfoot or see from the attic
• Widespread wind or hail damage across several slopes
• Repeated patching on a roof that is near the end of its life

One or two of these does not automatically mean a new roof. A single failed pipe boot or a few wind-lifted shingles is a repair. We photograph what we find, from the roof and from the attic when we can get in, and walk you through it.

How a roof replacement works with us

1. Free inspection. We check the shingles, flashing, ventilation, decking and gutters, and take photos you can keep.
2. Repair-or-replace answer. If a repair will do the job, we say so.
3. Written, itemized estimate. Tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, decking allowances and cleanup are spelled out line by line.
4. Permit and HOA. We handle the Town of Apex permit when one is required and help you with any HOA approval on color or style.
5. Installation and cleanup. The crew protects landscaping, removes debris and runs a magnet sweep for nails.
6. Final walkthrough. We review the finished roof with you and answer questions.

Materials for Apex homes

Most Apex homes get Owens Corning architectural asphalt shingles, and we install the full system: underlayment, starter, hip and ridge, and ventilation. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we can offer the Owens Corning Platinum warranty on qualifying systems, which includes 25 years of non-prorated coverage. We also install standing seam metal roofing for homeowners who want it, and handle low-slope sections over porches and additions.

Apex weather and your roof

Triangle roofs take long, humid summers, strong afternoon thunderstorms that can bring hail and straight-line wind, and wind-driven rain when tropical systems pass through. Attic heat and moisture are a big part of how fast shingles age here, so we check intake and exhaust ventilation on every replacement and correct it when it is wrong.

Insurance claims after a storm

If hail or wind damaged your roof, we document the damage with photos and can meet your adjuster at the house. Your insurer decides what is covered; our job is to make sure the damage is clearly shown. See our guide to roofing insurance claims in North Carolina.

Apex roof replacement questions

How do I know if my Apex roof needs replacing or just a repair?

We inspect it for free and show you photos. Widespread wear, repeated leaks or damaged decking usually point to replacement; an isolated leak or a few missing shingles is usually a repair, and we will tell you so.

Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Apex?

A re-roof in Apex can require a building permit depending on the scope of work. We confirm the requirement with the Town of Apex and pull the permit when one is needed.

My HOA has rules about shingle colors. Can you help?

Yes. Many Apex neighborhoods have HOA design rules. We give you the product and color details your HOA asks for so you can get approval before work starts.
