The Roofing Contractors Charlotte Trusts

Charlotte doesn't experience 5 months of snow like our office in Boston, but a few heavy snow and ice storms per year means it's critical to protect your home with the best. One bad storm is all it takes to tear apart a roofing system that isn't prepared for the elements. Because of this, the best materials to use when roofing your Charlotte house include a strong starter strip to protect from blowoffs, drip edge, ice and water shield around all vulnerable areas, a breathable/waterproof underlayment, 50 year architectural shingles, and a strong ridge vent with capping.

The most important factors that determine roof replacement cost in Charlotte are the roof's size and shape, material quality, type of contractor, and whether or not a warranty is included. According to Homewyse, the top home remodeling project comparison website, the replacement cost for a 2,160 square foot roof using high quality materials is between $9,027 and $12,391, plus a 13% to 22% markup for the supervision of a general contractor. That markup brings the average Charlotte roofing cost to $10,200 to $15,117. At Roof Hub, we pride ourselves of having the industry's best value while still maintaining the highest quality materials.

Licensing and insurance standards for roof replacement in North Carolina are lower than many other areas of the country. In fact, no licenses are required for projects with a total value below $30,000. For projects above $30k, contractors must pass an exam administered by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors and prove they meet working capital standards. When it comes to insurance, Roof Hub is fully insured up to $2,000,000 for roofing in North Carolina.

Hail damage claims are common topic of discussion for replacing roofs in the Charlotte area because many contractors go door-to-door promising homeowners they can get them free or very low cost roof by helping them get approved for a hail claim. This is a "foot in the door" strategy. In reality, getting approved is often much harder than contractors make it seem. However, if you do get approved for a claim, we recommend getting multiple roofing quotes so you can choose a roofer with high standards of service, craftsmanship, proven processes, and a rock-solid warranty. If you have an outstanding claim, Roof Hub is happy to help in any way possible.
