Quick answer
  • Included: full tear-off, disposal of the old roof, deck inspection and repair as needed, new underlayment, new pipe boots and flashing, ridge vent, and new shingles with a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway.
  • Timeline: most single-family Raleigh roofs are torn off and dried in the same day, with the whole job wrapped in one to three working days depending on size, pitch, and summer afternoon storms.
  • Cost: a typical Raleigh asphalt shingle replacement lands roughly in the $8,000–$25,000 range depending on square footage, pitch, layers, and decking condition — a ballpark, with the exact number confirmed on-site.
  • What we take: payment terms are put in writing before tear-off begins, and the common structure is a deposit at scheduling with the balance at completion — ask what fits your job.

The replace-versus-repair line is usually easy to draw once someone gets on the roof. If a 1990s builder-grade three-tab roof in Brier Creek, Wakefield, or Falls River is shedding granules into the gutters, curling at the edges, and popping nails through the shingle faces, patching it is money you spend twice — those roofs went on across whole subdivisions at the same time and they're aging out at the same time. A full replacement resets the system: new underlayment, new flashing, correct ventilation. On the other hand, if a 12-year-old roof lost a dozen shingles on one slope in a spring wind event, a targeted repair is the honest answer and we'll tell you that instead of selling you a roof you don't need yet. Older Raleigh neighborhoods change the job in ways a bid over the phone can't capture. The 1920s and '30s homes around Five Points, Hayes Barton, and Mordecai tend to have steep pitches, multiple dormers, cut-up valleys, and original board decking under the shingles — all of which affect labor and sometimes turn up surprises once the old layers come off. Homes in the Historic Oakwood and Boylan Heights historic overlay districts may need approval before visible exterior changes, so material and color choices are worth settling early rather than the week of tear-off. Ranches in North Hills and Stonehenge are usually simpler walks, but mature willow oaks shading the north slopes mean moss and slow-drying decking, which is exactly where we look for soft spots. Subdivisions with active HOAs often require an architectural color submittal, and we'll hand you the manufacturer's shingle name and color so you can file it. Raleigh weather is the reason we don't cut corners on the parts nobody sees. Wake County gets humid summers, heavy afternoon downpours, hail-bearing spring storms, and the occasional hurricane remnant tracking inland past the Triangle. Underlayment, valley protection, properly nailed starter course, and correctly sealed flashing at chimneys and skylights are what keep water out when a 2-inch-an-hour rain hits a roof that looks fine from the street. Roof replacement in the City of Raleigh generally requires a permit, and we handle that paperwork rather than leaving it on your kitchen counter. On the trust question: you get a real person, not a call center handing your address to whoever bids fastest. We tell you the arrival window and we call if it shifts. Before any work starts, ask us for insurance documentation and a written scope — any roofer worth hiring should send both without hesitating. If a storm is the reason you're reading this, we'll walk the roof, photograph what we find, and give you documentation you can take to your own carrier; the claim decision is theirs, not ours. Show up. Fix right. Every time.

Common questions

How long does a full roof replacement take on a Raleigh home?
Most Raleigh single-family roofs are torn off and dried in on day one, with the full job finished in one to three working days. Steep, cut-up roofs in Hayes Barton or Historic Oakwood take longer than an open ranch roof in Stonehenge
