Your Roofing Questions, Answered

The cost of a new roof in Charlotte typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000+ depending on the size of your home, materials chosen, and complexity of the installation. We offer free inspections and detailed quotes with no hidden fees.

Key cost factors include roof size (measured in squares), pitch/steepness, number of layers to remove, material choice (asphalt vs metal vs tile), complexity (valleys, dormers, skylights), accessibility, and any decking repairs needed. We provide itemized quotes so you understand each cost.

Yes! We offer flexible financing options including 0% APR for 12 months and low monthly payment plans for qualified buyers. We work with multiple lenders to find solutions that fit your budget. Same-day approval available.

Roof repair costs in Charlotte range from $150-$500 for minor repairs like replacing a few shingles, $500-$1,500 for moderate repairs like flashing or vent boot replacement, and $1,500+ for extensive repairs. We provide free estimates before any work.

A new roof typically returns 60-70% of its cost in increased home value and makes your home much easier to sell. It also eliminates costly ongoing repairs, improves energy efficiency, and provides peace of mind. Most homeowners find it a worthwhile investment.

Yes, your insurance deductible is your out-of-pocket responsibility. Be wary of contractors who offer to cover or waive your deductible—this is insurance fraud and illegal in North Carolina. We work to maximize your insurance claim so it covers your repair costs beyond the deductible.

Absolutely. We specialize in storm damage claims and work directly with your insurance company. Our team documents all damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports, meets with adjusters, and advocates on your behalf to ensure fair compensation.

Step 1: Call us for a free inspection to document damage. Step 2: File a claim with your insurance company. Step 3: We meet with your adjuster to review our findings. Step 4: Once approved, we complete repairs. We handle most of the paperwork and communication for you.

We help homeowners appeal denied claims with additional documentation, photos, and expert assessments. Many denials result from incomplete information or miscommunication. We can request re-inspection and provide evidence to support your appeal.

Storm and hail damage claims are typically not held against you like at-fault claims. Your policy exists to protect you from weather events. Each insurer handles this differently, but most Charlotte homeowners do not see significant rate increases from legitimate weather claims.

Most policies require claims within 1-2 years of the storm date, but we recommend filing within 30 days while evidence is fresh. Quick action prevents additional damage and strengthens your claim. Our free inspections document everything you need.

Homeowner's insurance typically covers damage from hail, wind, fallen trees, fire, and other sudden events. It usually does not cover normal wear and tear, neglected maintenance, or pre-existing conditions. Our inspection helps determine what is covered.

Most residential roof replacements are completed in 1-3 days, depending on the size and complexity. Weather can affect timing, but we work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. We provide a clear timeline before starting.

Our certified inspector examines your roof from the ground and roof level, checking shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and attic ventilation. We use drone technology for detailed aerial photos. You receive a written report with photos and honest recommendations within 24-48 hours.

No, you do not need to be home. We work on the exterior only and do not need interior access. However, we recommend removing fragile items from walls, covering attic items, and keeping pets inside or away. We communicate progress and can send photos.

We use tarps and plywood to protect landscaping, siding, and outdoor fixtures. Magnetic rollers collect nails and debris. We perform thorough cleanup daily with a final walk-through inspection. Your property is left clean and safe when we finish.

Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer ideal temperatures for shingle installation. However, we install roofs year-round in Charlotte. Summer works with scheduling around storms, and our mild winters allow most projects. Book early during peak seasons.

Charlotte and most surrounding municipalities require permits for roof replacement. Best Roofing Now handles all permitting for you—it is included in our service. We pull the permit, schedule required inspections, and ensure your roof meets all building codes.

We primarily install CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning shingles—the top brands in the industry. For most Charlotte homes, we recommend architectural shingles for their durability, 130 MPH wind resistance, and 25-50 year warranties. We also install metal, tile, and flat roofing systems.

3-tab shingles are flat and uniform, lasting 15-20 years at lower cost. Architectural shingles have a layered, dimensional look, last 25-30+ years, and resist winds up to 130 MPH. Most Charlotte homeowners choose architectural shingles for better value, durability, and curb appeal.

Asphalt shingles: 20-30 years. Architectural shingles: 25-50 years. Metal roofing: 40-70 years. Tile roofing: 50-100 years. Slate: 75-200 years. Charlotte's humid climate and storms affect lifespan. Proper installation and maintenance maximize longevity.

Metal roofing offers exceptional durability (40-70 years), energy efficiency (reflects heat), and storm resistance. While it costs more upfront ($8-$15/sq ft vs $4-$7 for shingles), the long-term value can be significant. It is popular for homeowners planning to stay long-term.

Darker shingles hide imperfections and suit traditional homes. Lighter colors reflect heat, reducing cooling costs—beneficial in Charlotte's hot summers. Consider your home's exterior colors, neighborhood style, and personal preference. We bring samples to view against your actual home.

Yes! We offer Energy Star-rated cool roof shingles that reflect sunlight and reduce cooling costs. GAF Timberline Cool Series and CertainTeed Landmark Solaris can lower attic temperatures by up to 20°F, reducing AC strain during Charlotte's hot summers.

Charlotte's humid subtropical climate brings hot summers (90°F+), heavy rainfall (44 inches annually), frequent thunderstorms, occasional hail, and rare ice storms. These conditions stress roofing materials through UV exposure, thermal expansion, moisture infiltration, and storm impact.

Look for missing or lifted shingles, dents in metal components, granules in gutters, cracked or bruised shingles, damaged flashing, water stains inside, and debris on the roof. Some damage is not visible from the ground—schedule a free inspection after any significant storm.

Immediately. Even minor damage can lead to leaks that cause extensive interior damage, mold growth (within 24-48 hours), and structural issues. We offer 24/7 emergency response for active leaks and tarping services to prevent further damage.

We do not install shingles during rain, as moisture can compromise the roofing system. We monitor forecasts closely and schedule around weather. If rain is expected mid-project, we install temporary waterproofing. Charlotte's climate allows year-round work with proper planning.

Hail damages roofs by dislodging protective granules, cracking shingles, and denting metal components. Signs include dark spots where granules are missing, soft spots when pressed, random damage patterns, and damaged vents or gutters. Hail damage often requires professional inspection.

Not always. Many storms cause repairable damage—a few missing shingles, minor flashing issues, or isolated leaks. We provide honest assessments and only recommend replacement when repairs would cost more long-term or damage is too extensive. Our free inspections tell you exactly what you need.
