Recently had this excellent team replace our roof following high winds damage. From start to finish we felt like family and we could not be happier with the result and price. Excellent material and professional installation and follow up.

Roof inspection in Durham
Roof inspection in Durham, done the way the town needs it
Lamar Homes Roofing inspects roofs across Durham and Durham County at no charge. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured.
The December 2002 ice storm put half an inch or more of ice from Charlotte to Raleigh, brought down trees across the region and left more than a million customers without power for up to ten days. Durham sits inside that band.
After that kind of weather the damage that matters is rarely visible from the ground: creased shingles, lifted tabs, opened flashing and granule loss that quietly halves a roof's remaining life. We photograph it from the roof so you can see it too.
Durham carries some of the oldest housing stock in the Triangle alongside new construction, so the same street can hold a 1920s roof on its fourth cycle and a builder roof on its first. The report tells you which conversation you are in: a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all. If the roof has years left, that is what it will say.

Roof inspection on Durham homes: what decides the job
01
What we look for after ice and downed limbs
Creased and lifted shingles, opened flashing, dented vents and granule loss in the gutters. Ice and downed limbs leaves those behind long before it leaves a leak.
02
What fails on Durham roofs
Durham carries some of the oldest housing stock in the Triangle alongside new construction, so the same street can hold a 1920s roof on its fourth cycle and a builder roof on its first.
03
For a sale, a claim or peace of mind
The report is written so an insurer, an adjuster or a buyer can read it. Photos, a marked-up description and a price, and it is yours whether or not you hire us.

James came out found the problems with the roof and gutters, damage from a storm. Took care of the paperwork and was hired to replace the roof. They started and finished in one day. Excellent job!

1
Book a free roof inspection
A GAF Certified inspector gets on the roof, photographs the damage and measures it, then hands you a written report. It costs nothing and it stays free whether or not you hire us.
The report goes in as evidence, so the claim is backed by documentation rather than a description. We meet your field adjuster on the roof so nothing gets left off the scope. Denied already? That can be challenged.
Leaks, missing shingles, failed flashing and full storm restoration, with same-day emergency service when the roof is open to the weather. If it is past repairing, we show you the numbers on a replacement instead.
We value our veterans. Ask about our exclusive Veteran Discount
Serving those who served is a privilege we deeply value. We know the importance of protecting your home, and we’re here to help make it easier. Veterans and their families can enjoy exclusive savings on our services.
