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 replacement in Charlotte
Roof replacement in Charlotte, done the way the town needs it
Lamar Homes Roofing replaces roofs across Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured.
Charlotte's housing runs from the older neighborhoods inside Route 4 to the large 1990s and 2000s subdivisions now reaching their first and second replacements street by street. Before quoting we check how many layers are on the deck, because two layers is the legal maximum and a house that has been reroofed over the top twice needs a full tear-off, which we price as a separate line so you can see it.
Hurricane Hugo put an 87 mph gust through Charlotte and toppled an estimated 80,000 trees in the city in 1989, nearly 200 miles from the coast. Every windstorm since has repeated Hugo in miniature. That is why we talk about material as well as color: architectural shingle with proper ice and water shield handles most Charlotte roofs, and standing seam metal earns its cost on a house you plan to keep through a few more of those.

Built for tree strikes
Tree strikes is what a Charlotte roof has to survive. Ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, proper flashing and a shingle rated for the wind are not upgrades here, they are the job.

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!

How it works
Our Process
Three simple steps from first call to a roof that protects what matters most.
01

Pick a time that suits you. Our roofing expert evaluates your roof on site and answers every question.
02
Receive Quote
You get a clear, itemised estimate with fair, honest pricing and no hidden costs.
03
Financing or Approved Through Insurance
We walk you through financing options or handle the insurance claim process alongside you.
Most roof work in Charlotte starts the same way, and most of it is covered by your homeowner policy. Here is the order it happens in.
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, starting with a temporary cover when the roof is open to the weather. If it is past repairing, we show you the numbers on a replacement instead.

Roof replacement in Charlotte: questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Charlotte?
Most homes land in the ranges on our roof replacement cost guide, and the exact number depends on roof area, pitch, layers and decking condition. We measure the roof and hand you one written price with tear-off and any decking as separate lines.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Charlotte?
Not for a like-for-like replacement under $40,000 that leaves the roof deck mostly intact. Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues permits, not the city; its own page still quotes a $20,000 threshold while state law now exempts like-for-like replacements to $40,000.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Charlotte?
Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues permits. State law exempts like-for-like replacements under $40,000, although the county's own page still quotes $20,000. We confirm with the county on anything close to the line.
Which parts of Charlotte do you serve?
The city and the Mecklenburg County towns around it. Because of the drive from Raleigh we group Charlotte visits, so inspections are booked ahead.
