Roof Replacement in Cary, NC

Cary has two kinds of roofs: the ones on established brick homes in neighborhoods like Preston that were built when “25-year shingle” meant something, and the ones on newer subdivisions from the last decade of growth. Both end up needing replacement eventually — for the older homes it’s age, and for the newer ones it’s often builder-grade shingles that wore out early or storm damage that insurance claims didn’t fully resolve. Simple Construction Roofing replaces roofs across Cary every week, and we know the difference between what a roof needs here and what a sales pitch says it needs.

Every job starts with a free roof inspection. No drone-flyby quotes, no pressure. We walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and give you a straight answer: what you have left, what it will cost, and whether a full replacement is actually necessary.

Signs Your Cary Roof Needs Replacing

Cary’s mature tree cover is beautiful and hard on roofs. Shade keeps shingles damp longer after rain, which feeds algae and moss — you’ll see it as black streaks on north-facing slopes. Falling limbs and branches from mature oaks and pines knock granules loose and crack shingles one branch at a time. Add the freeze-thaw cycles of Triangle winters and the wind events that roll through every spring, and a 20-year-old roof here often looks like a 25-year-old roof somewhere drier.

Watch for granule buildup in the gutters, curled or missing shingles, daylight visible from the attic, and any ceiling stains — even small ones. If your roof is past 18 years and you’re seeing more than one of these, it’s time to price a replacement instead of patching it again. In HOA-governed neighborhoods, which cover a large share of Cary, there’s another factor: many HOAs require approval before a replacement and specify acceptable shingle colors and materials. We handle that paperwork routinely and can steer you toward options your HOA will sign off on before the project starts.

Shingles and Metal: Your Real Options

Most Cary replacements are architectural shingles. They hold up well in our climate, come in colors that fit everything from brick colonials to newer craftsman-style homes, and for a typical Cary home the project runs $8,000–$18,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and complexity. The final number is set after the free inspection — not before.

Metal roofing is the second option, and we install it only in the profiles we trust: 1″ snap-lock standing seam, Master Rib / AG Panel, and 5V-crimp. Expect metal to run 2–3x the cost of shingles. It lasts longer and sheds storm debris better, which matters under Cary’s tree canopy — but it’s not right for every home or every budget, and we’ll say so if shingles are the smarter call. We do not install stone-coated or corrugated metal, because we’d rather say no to a profile than install one we can’t stand behind.

Our Process, Start to Finish

We keep replacement day simple. After your inspection and an estimate in writing, we schedule the tear-off, usually a one-day job for most Cary homes. Decking gets inspected board by board and photographed — if rot shows up, you see the photos before we replace anything. Underlayment, flashing, and the new roof go on the same day whenever weather allows, and we run a magnetic sweep of your yard and driveway before we leave. You’ll get photos of the finished work and warranty paperwork in hand, not a promise to email it later.

Every replacement includes our 10-year workmanship warranty. Financing is available at 0% interest with no payments for up to 12 months, so a needed replacement doesn’t have to wait on a savings timeline. And the inspection that starts it all is free — no obligation, no fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Cary, NC?

For architectural shingles on a typical Cary home, expect $8,000–$18,000. The range depends on square footage, roof pitch, how many layers need to come off, and decking condition. Metal roofing runs 2–3x the shingle cost. Your exact price comes from a free on-site inspection — we don’t guess without seeing the roof.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential replacements in Cary take one day once materials are on-site. Larger or more complex roofs can take two. We schedule start dates around weather and don’t tear off a roof we can’t get dried in the same day.

Will my HOA approve my new roof?

In most cases, yes — but many Cary HOAs require an application with shingle brand, color, and material details before work begins. We’ve navigated HOA requirements across Cary’s neighborhoods and will help you pick compliant options and complete the paperwork.

Do you offer financing for roof replacement?

Yes. We offer 0% interest financing with no payments for up to 12 months. It applies to both shingle and metal replacements, and we’ll walk you through the terms during your estimate.

What warranty comes with a new roof?

Every replacement includes our 10-year workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer’s material warranty. If our installation causes a problem within ten years, we come back and fix it.
