Roofing Durham
Homes Since 2022
Durham has the oldest and most varied housing stock in our service area, and that changes how we quote. In Trinity Park, Old North Durham and Watts Hillandale you are working on houses from the 1900s to the 1930s, frequently with plank decking, original framing, and a repair history nobody documented.
We quote Durham work with a decking contingency stated as a per sheet rate up front, because the honest answer is that we do not know what is under a ninety year old roof until we take it off. Contractors who quote Durham without that line either add a large cushion to the price or produce an unpleasant conversation on install day.
Durham is also where we do the most siding work. The 1980s and 1990s hardboard and masonite that failed across the Triangle failed particularly visibly here, and the wall to roof detailing on older additions is frequently the actual source of what a homeowner is calling a roof leak.

What We Do In Durham
Eight services, all in house, all with the same inspection first approach.
What Makes Durham Roofs Different
- Housing stock
- Early twentieth century housing through the historic neighbourhoods, mid century ranches through Hope Valley and Watts Hillandale, and 1980s to 2000s development toward Southpoint and the south east.
- Weather exposure
- Durham County sits slightly further from the coastal storm tracks than eastern Wake, so tropical remnant wind is marginally less of a factor, but summer convective hail is common and the county's mature tree cover produces heavy debris and limb strike damage.
- How we schedule it
- Durham is roughly an hour from our Apex office, so we group Durham work where possible. Access in the historic neighbourhoods is tight, with narrow driveways and street parking, and we plan material staging accordingly.
- Permits and approvals
- Durham work permits through Durham City and County Inspections rather than Wake County. Several historic districts additionally carry design review requirements that can affect material and colour choices, and we check that before quoting rather than after.

Durham Roofing Questions
My Durham house is from the 1920s. Can you work on it?
Yes, and a meaningful part of our Durham work is exactly that. Expect plank decking rather than plywood, original masonry chimneys and hand detailed valleys. We quote the decking as a per sheet contingency because nobody can honestly tell you what is under a hundred year old roof until it comes off.
Is my house in a historic district, and does that matter?
It can. Several Durham districts carry design review that affects material and colour. We check before quoting, because a roof that has to be approved and was not is an expensive mistake.
Why do you do so much siding in Durham?
Because a great deal of 1980s and 1990s Durham housing was clad in hardboard and masonite that has now failed at the bottom edges, and because on older additions the wall to roof detailing is frequently the real source of a leak the homeowner has been blaming on the roof.
Do you charge more because Durham is further away?
No. Our pricing is consistent across the service area. We group Durham scheduling where we can, which occasionally means an inspection is a day or two out rather than same day.
What does a roof replacement cost in Durham?
Replacement starts at $6,995 for up to 12 squares and runs $450 per square after that, so most Durham homes land between $9,500 and $17,000 for a full architectural shingle system. Pitch, access, the number of layers to remove and how much decking needs replacing are what move it. Early twentieth century housing through the historic neighbourhoods, mid century ranches through Hope Valley and Watts Hillandale, and 1980s to 2000s development toward Southpoint and the south east.
Do you charge a call out fee in Durham?
No. Inspections are free across our whole service area, including Durham, with nothing to sign and no contingency agreement. You keep the photo report whatever you decide.
