Roof Replacement and Repair

We know a durable, well-maintained roof is critical for protecting an Apex home from seasonal thunderstorms and potential storm damage. Whether you have a few missing shingles from a recent storm or are dealing with an older, failing roof, our expert team is here to help.

For homeowners considering a full roof replacement, we invite you to use our convenient Online Roof Quote tool. It’s a great first step to get a reliable cost estimate sent directly to your mobile device or email, typically within an hour.

For all other issues, our focus is on providing fast and effective roof repair. The definitive first step for any project is our free, on-site inspection. We’ll assess the condition of your roof to determine the best course of action. While we can often perform a targeted repair for isolated damage, widespread issues like significant granule loss or curling shingles indicate that a full replacement is needed to maintain the roof’s integrity. In either case, we’ll provide a clear, honest recommendation.

Siding Repair and Replacement

We understand that a home’s siding provides essential protection while defining its curb appeal, a key factor in maintaining property value in the Apex community. Our siding repair service is the ideal solution for addressing isolated damage, such as cracked panels from an impact or loose sections from wind. For widespread wear or a complete style update, we recommend a full replacement with modern fiber cement or premium vinyl for the best long-term value.

Our process begins with a thorough assessment, and for full siding replacements, we completely remove old siding to inspect the underlying sheathing for hidden damage. Our teams are experienced in working within the aesthetic guidelines of local HOAs, ensuring any project provides superior protection while adhering to community standards.

Gutter Installation and Replacement

A high-functioning gutter system is essential for protecting homes in Apex from the potential water damage caused by heavy rainfall and falling debris from mature trees. An effective, modern drainage system relies on two key components: seamless gutters, which are custom-fit to the home to prevent leaks, and micro-mesh gutter guards, which are designed to stop clogs from leaves and pine needles. Together, these elements ensure rainwater is properly channeled away from your home’s foundation.

Our services cover every aspect of a home’s drainage needs. We provide durable material options, including classic aluminum and elegant copper, to match a home’s specific style. In addition to new gutter installations, we perform comprehensive repairs to address common issues like sagging, poor alignment, or storm damage. This focus on both quality components and proper maintenance ensures a gutter system remains fully operational and effectively protects your property for years to come.

Commonly Asked Roofing, Siding, and Gutters Questions

How can I tell if I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

It largely depends on the roof’s age and the nature of the damage. With the significant growth and development that has occurred in Apex over the last two decades, many homes are now reaching the point where their original architectural shingle roofs are at the end of their 20-25 year lifespan. Widespread granule loss or curling shingles are key signs that a replacement is the most sensible long-term investment.

How long does a typical roof replacement take?

Our professional crew works with maximum efficiency to respect your time and minimize disruption. For most single-family homes, a complete tear-off and roof replacement is finished within 1 to 3 days. We ensure a clean, safe worksite and a swift, high-quality installation.

What are the most durable roofing materials you recommend?

Architectural shingles are the most popular and cost-effective choice for durability, offering excellent protection against the summer thunderstorms and occasional hail we see in this region. For homeowners looking for superior longevity and a distinct look, metal roofing provides unmatched resistance to wind and weathering.

Will new siding increase my home’s resale value?

Absolutely. Maintaining a high standard of curb appeal is essential for preserving home value in a sought-after, fast-growing community like Apex. Installing new, modern siding, such as fiber cement, offers one of the highest returns on investment of any home improvement project and makes your property stand out to prospective buyers.

Can you install new siding over my old siding?

While it’s sometimes possible, we strongly advise against it, especially for homes that aren’t brand new. A full removal of the old siding is the only way to inspect the wall sheathing underneath for hidden moisture damage or rot. This critical step ensures your home’s structural integrity before the new siding is installed.

Is there a difference in siding maintenance for different materials?

Yes, a significant one. To combat the seasonal pollen and humidity that can cause buildup on a home’s exterior, low-maintenance materials are ideal. Fiber cement and premium vinyl siding require only a simple, gentle wash each year to stay looking fresh, unlike wood siding which needs regular painting or staining to prevent decay.

Are larger gutters and downspouts a better option?

For many homes, yes. The intense downpours we experience during summer thunderstorms can overwhelm standard 5-inch gutters, especially on homes with large or steep roof surfaces. Upgrading to 6-inch gutters and larger downspouts provides better water management, offering superior protection against overflows that could otherwise damage your foundation or landscaping.

Will clogged gutters cause damage to my roof or foundation?

Without a doubt. Clogged gutters are a primary cause of preventable—and expensive—home repairs. When water can’t drain, it backs up under your roof shingles, causing rot to the underlying wood. It also spills over the sides, saturating the ground near your home, which can lead to foundation cracks and water in your crawlspace.

What is the main advantage of installing gutter guards?

The biggest benefit is preventing the constant clogging caused by falling leaves and the immense amount of pine needles from the beautiful, mature trees found all throughout Apex. A professional-grade gutter guard system ensures your gutters remain clear and functional year-round, protecting your home and saving you from the dangerous chore of climbing a ladder.
