Do I actually need a new roof, or can the old one be repaired?

We get this question a lot. The only way to determine the answer is through a roof inspection. This is one of our services we happily offer our customers free of charge. We pride ourselves on providing straightforward and honest feedback outlining what you need and the level of protection it provides. We won’t try to sell you a new roof if the one you have is in good working condition or can be adequately repaired to fit your needs.

How much will a new roof cost?

There are a lot of factors that go into consideration when determining the price of a new roof. We have to take into account square footage, the pitch and the material choice. In general, the estimated cost can range from $10,000 to $25,000. But don’t worry. We’ll work with your insurance to be sure you pay as little out of pocket as possible.

How disruptive will the process be?

We know your home is a special place for you and your family. We pledge to keep the process as stress-free as possible. The majority of our builds are completed in just one day, and we make sure to leave your property looking better than when we first arrived.

How long will my new roof last?

This can depend upon a variety of factors, including the material used. On average, you can expect a new roof to last between 20 and 30 years.

Fortified Roofs

For Extra Peace of Mind, Fortified Roofs Provide Additional Safety

FORTIFIED roofs must pass more stringent standards, going above and beyond the average building code requirements. This means that whether you’re preparing for Wilmington’s hurricane season or Raleigh’s severe storms, a fortified roof can protect your home from the risks of leaks and other interior damage when the inevitable severe storm occurs.

Your safety and peace of mind are worth the investment, so partner with a contractor that is certified to install fortified roofs like Choufani & Bailey.

Are Fortified Roofs Worth the Investment?

Not all homeowners insurance policies will pay for fortified roofs. However, some insurance providers may offer premium discounts for fortified roofs. Each policy is different, and we can work with you to discover the answers.

Fortified roofs provide added protection to your home when compared to “regular” roofs. If you live in a severe weather area like Wilmington, a fortified roof can help minimize the severity of repair or replacement costs that can occur from severe storms or hurricanes.

This means no more panic concerning your roof when the next hurricane arrives on the Wilmington coast.

FAQ’s
