Storm Guard is the Cary roofing company that handles repairs, replacements, inspections, and storm response for homes and businesses across town.

Storm Guard Roofing of Apex-Cary works out of an office on Woodwinds Industrial Court, so Cary is not just a service area for us; it is home. We help homeowners and businesses across town with inspections, storm repairs, full replacements, and exterior upgrades, drawing on more than a decade of industry experience.
Cary roofs deal with heavy rain, summer heat, occasional ice such as the December 2002 storm, and periodic hail, most recently quarter size hail near Southeast Cary Parkway on July 8, 2026. Those conditions wear on shingles and flashing over time, which is why we recommend an inspection after any severe storm.
Cary's housing comes from two main eras: nearly half of homes were built from 1970 to 1999, and nearly half from 2000 on. In established neighborhoods such as Preston and Lochmere, roofs from the 1980s and 1990s are now 25 to 40 years old, and Lochmere's mature trees add limb strikes and clogged valleys to the list. When we replace these roofs, we check the decking and attic ventilation along with the shingles.
For commercial clients, we repair and replace low-slope and steep-slope roofs on offices, retail buildings, and other properties along corridors such as US 1/US 64, NC 55, Cary Parkway, and Western Boulevard.
Our team also handles the rest of your exterior, so you can plan several upgrades with one local company:
We inspect, repair, and replace siding with durable options that improve weather protection and energy performance.
We help you choose window styles and materials, including vinyl, fiberglass, and composite, then install them to improve comfort and curb appeal.
Aluminum, vinyl, and copper gutters, plus gutter guards, help move water away from your home and cut down on the debris that builds up under Cary's tree canopy.
Thorough surface prep, careful repairs, and quality paint give your home a finish that lasts.
Some Cary neighborhoods call for skills beyond standard shingle work. Carpenter Village homes feature copper roofs that require metal roofing and flashing experience, and properties in the Cary, Carpenter, and Green Level historic districts need repairs that respect their original character.
Whatever your home needs, our Cary team gives you honest recommendations and work that meets a high standard. Call our office or use the consultation button on this page to schedule your roofing or exterior inspection.
Storm Guard offers roof repair, roof replacement, inspections, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties throughout Cary. Our Cary-based team also installs gutters, siding, windows, and exterior paint.
A roof installed in the 1990s is past the usual 20 to 30 year life of asphalt shingles, so replacement is usually the better option for a Preston home that still has its original roof. These signs confirm it:
A standard asphalt shingle replacement on an average-sized Cary home typically takes one day. Larger homes or specialty materials such as slate or cedar shake may take two to five days, and we confirm timing before we start.
Cary roofing projects from Storm Guard include manufacturer warranties on materials and a workmanship warranty on our labor.
Our team explains both before the project is closed out.
The cost of a new roof in Cary depends on roof size, pitch, material, and any decking or ventilation work the inspection uncovers. We provide a detailed written estimate and offer financing to help fit the project into your budget.
Yes, darker roofs absorb more heat and can make attics and upstairs rooms harder to cool in a Cary summer. Lighter shingles reflect more sunlight, though many homeowners still prefer darker colors for appearance, and good attic ventilation helps narrow the difference.
An older attic is likely under-ventilated if upstairs rooms run hot, the attic smells musty, or you see condensation or dark stains on the underside of the roof deck. Homes in Kildaire Farms, which began in 1971, and in post-war neighborhoods such as Veteran Hills and Russell Hills may not have been designed for today's roofing systems, so we check airflow during every replacement.
Roofs in Cary tend to fail first at flashing and valleys, especially where debris from mature trees collects and holds moisture. Areas around chimneys, skylights, and plumbing vents are also common trouble spots that we inspect closely.
Metal roofs in Cary typically last 40 to 70 years with proper installation and care, with standing seam systems at the high end of that range. Our crews also work with the copper roofing and flashing found on homes in Carpenter Village.
Yes, flashing should be replaced when re-roofing an older Cary home because worn flashing is one of the most common sources of leaks. New flashing creates a tight seal with new shingles at chimneys, walls, and roof valleys.
Cary has recorded hail at least three times in recent years. Ping pong ball size hail fell in town on April 14, 2023, half dollar hail was reported near Cary on May 6, 2022, and quarter size hail hit near Southeast Cary Parkway and Holly Springs Road on July 8, 2026. If your roof has not been inspected since these storms, now is a good time to schedule one.
Unless otherwise noted, each use of "Storm Guard," “us,” “we,” or “our” throughout Stormguardrc.com collectively refers to both the Storm Guard brand and the Storm Guard Franchise System, which is made up almost exclusively of independently owned and operated franchise locations.
