Who you’re hiring

Roofing Without
The Runaround.

Most homeowners call us after a storm, a stain on the ceiling, or a knock on the door from someone who says the roof has to go. We start the same way every time: we get on the roof, photograph every slope, and show you what is actually there.

Sometimes that means a full replacement. Often it means three hundred dollars of flashing work and another eight years of life. We will tell you which one it is, in plain language, with the pictures to back it up, because the roofs we are proudest of are the ones we talked a homeowner out of replacing too early.

Emerald Roofing is owned and run by Sean Salmon. We are based on Salem Street in Apex, our crews are our own, and the person who inspects your roof is the person you can call when it rains. That is the whole model.

Questions Triangle
Homeowners Actually Ask.

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement or just a repair?

Age, granule loss and the condition of the decking decide it more than any single leak. An asphalt roof in the Triangle typically runs 18 to 25 years; if yours is under 15 and the damage is localised, whether that is a few lifted shingles, a failed pipe boot or valley flashing, repair is usually the honest answer. We will tell you which one you are looking at and show you the photos behind that call.

What does a roof replacement cost in Raleigh and the surrounding towns?

Replacement starts at $6,995, which covers up to 12 squares, and each square after that is $450. Most Wake County homes land between $9,500 and $17,000 for a full architectural shingle system. Pitch, the number of layers to remove and how much decking has to be replaced are what move it inside that band, and metal and low slope systems are quoted separately. Every quote we write is itemised, so you can see what is material, what is labour and what is contingency.

Will my insurance cover storm damage from hail or wind?

Often, yes, North Carolina policies generally cover sudden storm damage but not wear and age. The practical issue is documentation. We inspect, photograph and write the damage up in the language adjusters use, and we will meet your adjuster on the roof. We never advise filing a claim on a roof that has simply aged out; that is how deductibles get spent for nothing.

How long does the work actually take?

Tear-off through clean-up is one day for the large majority of Triangle homes, two for steep, large or multi-layer roofs. We deliver material the morning of rather than days ahead, so your driveway is not blocked for a week.

What warranties come with the roof?

Manufacturer coverage on the materials, and because we are a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, which is CertainTeed's highest contractor credential, we can write 50 year non prorated warranties. Non prorated is the part that matters: the coverage does not shrink year by year, so a claim in year 30 is worth what it was in year one. The warranty is registered in your name rather than ours, and our own workmanship warranty sits on top of it.

Are you licensed and insured in North Carolina?

Yes, licensed in North Carolina, fully insured for general liability and workers’ compensation, and BBB listed. We will send certificates before we set foot on your property; if a contractor hesitates at that request, that is your answer.

Do you use subcontractors?

Our installation crews are our own and they are the same crews year to year. The person who inspects your roof stays on your job through the final walkthrough, which is why you have one number to call afterwards.
