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 Wake Forest
Roof replacement in Wake Forest, done the way the town needs it
Lamar Homes Roofing replaces roofs across Wake Forest and Wake County. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured.
Wake Forest has heavy tree cover over both its older in-town homes and the newer subdivisions to the north, which keeps roofs cool and keeps valleys full. 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.
Wake County logged 69 hail events between 2020 and 2025, and the county has taken 79 mph gusts from a hurricane that had already crossed half the state. Wake Forest gets both. That is why we talk about material as well as color: architectural shingle with proper ice and water shield handles most Wake Forest roofs, and standing seam metal earns its cost on a house you plan to keep through a few more of those.

Roof replacement on Wake Forest homes: what decides the job
01
Layers and decking on Wake Forest homes
Wake Forest has heavy tree cover over both its older in-town homes and the newer subdivisions to the north, which keeps roofs cool and keeps valleys full.
02
Built for hail and summer wind
Hail and summer wind is what a Wake Forest 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.
Cost, time, what is included and what backs it, before you pick up the phone.
01
What it costs
A typical 2,000 square foot home runs $12,900 to $17,000 in architectural shingle, torn off; standing seam metal is roughly double. Ranges by size are in our cost guide; financing is available.
02
How long it takes
Most homes are torn off and reroofed in a day; large or steep roofs take two. Quotes in Wake Forest are the same week.
03
What is included
Full tear-off, soft decking replaced, ice and water shield, underlayment, GAF shingles, new flashing and ridge vent, and a nail sweep of the yard.
04
What backs it
GAF's System Plus limited warranty on the products, installed by a GAF Certified, licensed and insured crew. Terms are on our warranty page.

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
Schedule Free Roof Inspection
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 Wake Forest 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, 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.
We’re always here to help! Whether you just have a general question or you are wanting to schedule a FREE inspection, fill out the form and someone from our team will be in contact with you.
By pressing submit, you agree to receive email, text, and/or voice updates. Carrier fees may apply.
Roof replacement in Wake Forest: questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Wake Forest?
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 Wake Forest?
Not for a like-for-like replacement under $40,000 that leaves the roof deck mostly intact. Wake Forest is in Wake County and permitting runs through the Town of Wake Forest.
Do trees over my roof shorten its life?
They cut both ways. Shade keeps shingles cooler, which helps. Overhanging limbs drop debris into the valleys and gutters where it traps moisture, and that is what wears out the roof underneath.
Should I cut back the trees over my roof?
Trimming limbs that overhang the roofline helps. It reduces the debris landing in your valleys and removes the branches most likely to come down in a storm.
