WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We provide roof repair, roof replacement, inspections, and maintenance for Smithfield homes and commercial buildings, plus gutters, siding, windows, painting, and emergency tarping.

An older Smithfield roof needs repair when you spot any of these problems.

  1. Gaps where shingles have blown off, leaving the deck open to rain
  2. Brown stains on ceilings or damp insulation in the attic
  3. Hail marks or dents on shingles, vents, and gutters
  4. Shingles that cup or curl from age and heat

It is time to replace the roof on a 1970s Smithfield home if you see several of these signs at once:

  1. The roof is near or past its expected lifespan
  2. Shingles are curling or buckling across multiple slopes
  3. Shingles are missing, cracked, or broken
  4. The roof deck sags between rafters
  5. Gutters fill with shingle granules
  6. Leaks keep returning after repairs
  7. Moss or dark algae covers shaded areas

Replacing an asphalt shingle roof on an average-sized Smithfield home generally takes one day. Larger homes, or roofs that use more complex materials, may take two to five days.

Yes, roof replacements in Smithfield carry both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.

  • Manufacturer warranties cover material defects
  • Our workmanship warranty covers the labor and installation

This coverage protects the investment you make in your home.

Quotes vary because roof size, material, and installation complexity all change the price, and older Smithfield homes often need decking or ventilation work too. We document conditions and hidden prior repairs before quoting so your estimate reflects the real job.

Yes, a lighter roof color can lower cooling costs because it reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it. Dark shingles hold more heat in the attic, and we can show you color options that balance energy savings with the style of your home.

Many older Smithfield homes do, because attic ventilation was often undersized by current standards. Hot upper rooms, musty attic air, and high power bills are common clues, and a roof inspection shows whether vents need to be added or balanced.

Roof leaks usually start at flashing, valleys, and the openings around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Wind-driven rain during storm season pushes water into these weak spots first, especially on homes near the Neuse River and Town Commons.

Metal roofing is worth considering in Smithfield because a well-installed system can last 40 to 70 years. Standing seam metal in particular holds up far longer than most shingle roofs, which reduces how often you need to reroof.

No, old flashing should not be reused on a Smithfield reroof. Flashing guards the most leak-prone areas, and reused pieces can fail before the new shingles do, so installing new flashing keeps the whole system sealed.

Yes. The April 16, 2011 tornado that tracked from Fayetteville to Smithfield caused minor damage in town and damaged about 450 homes across Johnston County. In October 2016, Hurricane Matthew pushed the Neuse River at Smithfield to a crest near 30 feet, so an inspection after major storms helps catch hidden damage.
