Commonly Asked Roofing, Siding, and Gutters Questions

How do you approach a roof repair on a historic home?

Work on a historic home requires a focus on preservation. For a repair, our primary goal is to maintain the home’s original character. We source materials that match the existing roof as closely as possible and use meticulous techniques to ensure the repair is not only structurally sound but also visually seamless, respecting the unique craftsmanship of older properties in Chapel Hill.

What are the most common signs of roof damage from falling tree limbs?

After a storm, even a smaller limb can cause significant damage. Look for localized bruising or cracking on shingles, punctures through the roof deck, or damage to the underlying flashing and vents. Because a limb can cause structural issues that aren’t visible from the ground, a professional inspection is always recommended if you suspect an impact.

What siding material best complements a traditional or historic home style?

Fiber cement siding is an exceptional choice for homes where maintaining a traditional aesthetic is a priority. It can be manufactured with a smooth or wood-grain finish that perfectly mimics classic wood siding but offers far superior resistance to moisture, pests, and fire. This allows you to preserve the historic look while benefiting from modern durability and low maintenance.

Is a full tear-off necessary when replacing old siding?

Yes, we consider it a critical step for a quality installation. Removing the old siding is the only way to properly inspect the home’s underlying sheathing for any hidden moisture damage or rot that may have developed over the years. This ensures we are applying new, beautiful siding to a sound and secure structure.

Are gutter guards really necessary in this area?

Absolutely. Given the famously dense tree canopy in Chapel Hill, standard gutters will clog constantly with oak leaves, tassels, and other debris. Gutter guards are the only effective, long-term solution to prevent this. They are an essential investment to ensure your gutter system can handle heavy rains and protect your home’s foundation.

What happens if my gutters get clogged and overflow?

When gutters clog, rainwater has nowhere to go but over the sides. This overflow can saturate the ground next to your foundation, leading to erosion and water intrusion into your basement or crawlspace. It can also run down your siding and behind your fascia boards, causing wood rot and costly structural damage over time.
