Roof Replacement Charlotte NC

Full Replacement

When Repairs Aren't Enough

A roof replacement is a major investment — and one of the best ways to protect and add value to your Charlotte home. When your roof reaches 20+ years, shows widespread shingle failure, or has suffered significant storm damage, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continuing repairs.

As a GAF Master Elite Contractor — a designation held by only the top 3% of roofers nationwide — Apex Roofing Group can offer GAF's strongest warranty protection: the Golden Pledge® Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers both materials AND labor for 25 years.

We handle everything from initial inspection and material selection through full cleanup and final walkthrough. Most Charlotte homes are completed in a single day — and we treat your property like our own.

How It Works

Our Replacement Process

A roof replacement doesn't have to be stressful. Here's exactly what to expect from first call to final walkthrough.

1

Free Inspection & Estimate

We inspect your roof thoroughly — walking every section, checking decking, flashing, gutters, and attic ventilation. You receive a detailed written estimate with photos, material options, and exact pricing within 24 hours.

2

Material Selection

We walk you through shingle options (color, style, brand, warranty tier) and discuss whether architectural shingles, impact-resistant shingles, or metal roofing is the best fit for your home, budget, and HOA requirements.

3

Complete Tear-Off

On installation day, our crew arrives at 7am. We remove all existing shingles and underlayment, inspect every square foot of your decking, and replace any damaged boards before installing new roofing.

4

New Roof Installed

Ice and water shield, synthetic felt underlayment, drip edge, and new shingles are installed to manufacturer and building code specifications. Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents is replaced properly — not just re-caulked.

5

Final Inspection & Cleanup

Dave or Carlos personally walks the finished roof before sign-off. We run a magnetic nail sweep across your entire property, remove all debris, and walk you through what was completed and your warranty documentation.

FAQ

Roof Replacement Questions

Most Charlotte homes (1,500–3,000 sq ft) are completed in a single day. We arrive at 7am and have you done by late afternoon, including cleanup. Larger homes (3,000+ sq ft) or complex roof geometries may take 1.5–2 days. We'll tell you the expected timeline in your estimate.

You don't need to be home during the work — most clients go to work and come home to a new roof. We do ask that you're available for the start of the day (7–7:30am) and the end (final walkthrough). We'll call if we encounter unexpected decking damage that requires an approval call.

It depends on the cause. Storm damage (hail, wind, falling trees) is typically covered by homeowners insurance. Age-related deterioration usually is not. We provide free inspections and can help you determine if your damage qualifies for an insurance claim — we've handled 3,000+ Charlotte claims and know exactly what adjusters look for.

For most Charlotte homeowners, we recommend GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration architectural shingles with impact-resistant ratings. Charlotte's combination of summer heat, hurricane-remnant winds, and occasional hail events makes IR-rated shingles worth the modest upgrade in cost — and they can lower your insurance premium.

As a GAF Master Elite Contractor, we can offer the GAF Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty — 25 years on both materials AND labor. Additionally, Apex provides our own lifetime workmanship warranty. Material manufacturer warranties (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed) range from 30 years to lifetime on architectural shingles. Your estimate will detail exactly what's covered.
