ChoiceRoofing Pros serves North Carolina, including Raleigh. This state experiences a diverse climate, from the mountains to the coast, with hot, humid summers, mild winters, and a significant risk of hurricanes, thunderstorms, and hail.
North Carolina's varied climate, especially its coastal vulnerability to hurricanes and inland susceptibility to severe thunderstorms, necessitates a robust roofing system. High humidity can promote algae growth, while strong winds can cause shingle uplift. Winter ice dams can also be an issue in the western parts of the state. Our process for North Carolina homes begins with a comprehensive inspection, assessing the current roof's condition and any weather-related wear. We then discuss material options and installation techniques designed to withstand the specific meteorological challenges faced in the Raleigh area.
The 25% rule relates to roof slope. Slopes above 25% require specific underlayment and installation methods to ensure adequate water shedding, particularly important in North Carolina with its heavy rainfall. We accurately measure your roof's pitch to apply the correct materials and techniques.
