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.

We just had our roof repaired by AKC Roofing. I contacted Alex about a leak we're having and the very next day he was up on my roof to inspect the damage. Two days later the leak was fixed without any hassle. Alex was super friendly and answered all of my questions. I absolutely recommend AKC Roofing!

I have had issues getting responses for my siding repair, one major company said it would be $425 as a minimum for their services.
I saw Alex's truck in my neighborhood and called the number on the side of the truck. He immediately responded within minutes and was at my house to assess my issue. Not only did he troubleshoot the damage he offered to fix it on site.
Alex took care of the damage and charged me a much lower fee than I expected compared to other companies in the area. His work was so good and prompt that I felt the need to give him a little more than charged.
There is no way I would use another company in the area for any of my exterior issues in the future. Alex's professionalism, courtesy and expertise is unmatched.

Reached out to Alex for some help with a leak in our roof. He was able to come out same day and take a look/quote it, and the job was done within 2 days after that. Super friendly and easy to work with! We will absolutely use them in the future.

AKC Roofing did an outstanding job on my recent home repairs and new gutter installation. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Alex was a pleasure to work with—knowledgeable, communicative, and truly invested in making sure everything went smoothly. Rigo was exceptional, with a remarkable eye for detail that really showed in the quality of the finished work. The results exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend AKC Roofing to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service.

Got my roof replaced by Alex and from the start he went above and beyond. I had several estimates done and he was the only contractor that came with the facts that my roof shingles were recalled and no longer being manufactured AND that it had wind damage. My first question was how do you know all this...his answer: "Ma'am this is what I do" That pretty much set the tone for the amazing service I received. He worked with my insurance adjuster and made sure he was present during the inspection. I always felt supported and he always took the time to explain what he was doing and how everything would work. Being a solo homeowner that was very important to me especially since I feel like I'm always being taken advantage of. I hands down recommend AKC Roofing. Top notch service with an owner with genuine professionalism and an abundance of patience.
Thanks again Alex!
