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.

Lamar Homes in Clayton
Your local Clayton roofing contractor
Lamar Homes Roofing covers Clayton and the surrounding Johnston County communities. We are a family owned, GAF Certified contractor, fully licensed and insured.
Clayton has grown fast, which means we work on everything from roofs barely out of their builder warranty to houses well past the twenty year mark. Those two need very different conversations, and the free inspection is how we work out which one you are having.
Because Clayton is in Johnston County, permitting runs through the Town of Clayton rather than Wake County.

What we see on Clayton roofs
01
Fast growth, young roofs
Clayton has expanded quickly, so much of the stock is recent. On young roofs the failures are at the details rather than in the field of shingles.
02
Granule loss as the tell
On anything approaching twenty years, check the bottom of the downspouts. Coarse grit like sand means the shingles are shedding their protective surface.
03
Johnston County paperwork
Clayton permits through the Town of Clayton rather than Wake County, which catches out anyone who has moved over from Raleigh.
Deciding on a roof in Clayton
The four things people want settled before they call anyone, answered with the numbers we publish.
01
What it costs
Repairs start at $625. A typical 2,000 square foot replacement runs $12,900 to $17,000 in architectural shingle, torn off; metal is roughly double. The inspection that tells you which one you need is free. Financing is available.
02
How long it takes
Inspections in Clayton are the same week. Most repairs are one visit; most replacements are torn off and finished in a day, two for large or steep roofs.
03
What is included
The inspection from the roof with photographs and a written report; on a replacement, full tear-off, decking checked, ice and water shield, GAF shingles, new flashing and ridge vent, and a nail sweep.
04
What backs it
GAF Certified, licensed and insured, family owned. GAF's System Plus limited warranty on replacement products; our warranty page lists the terms.

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.
Clayton sits in Johnston County, so permitting and inspections run through the Town of Clayton rather than through Wake County. If you have moved over from Raleigh, it is a different office handling the paperwork.
Clayton, NC
A roofing company that actually covers Johnston County
Clayton is not Wake County, and that changes more than the drive.
Johnston County permitting
Clayton sits in Johnston
County, so a residential roof replacement is permitted through Johnston County rather
than Wake. The requirements are not harder, but a roofer who only works Raleigh will
sometimes pull the wrong permit and lose you a week.
Newer builds, younger roofs
Much of Clayton went up
through the 2000s and 2010s, which puts a lot of local roofs at 15 to 20 years old right
now. That is precisely the window where a storm turns a tired roof into a claim.
Residential roofing, mostly
Most of what we do in
Clayton is residential: single family homes, full tear-offs and repairs after summer
storms. We handle commercial work too, but the neighborhoods are the bulk of it.
We are 25 minutes away
Our office is on Western
Boulevard in Raleigh. Clayton is a short run down 70, which matters when you need a tarp
on a roof today rather than Thursday.
Act early
Significance of timely roof damage repair
Why waiting costs more
When your roof gets damaged, it's super important to fix it quickly. If you wait too long, the damage can get much worse. This doesn't only mean your house might get seriously damaged, it also means the repair bill grows.
Having a roofing emergency?
If something really bad happens to your roof all of a sudden, like a huge leak, a tree falling on it, or a big storm hitting hard, you need help right away. That is what we call a roofing emergency, and we answer those 24/7.
After a storm
Hail or wind damage? Start here.
Most roof work in Clayton 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.

Clayton roofing questions
Do you serve Clayton and the rest of Johnston County?
Yes. Clayton is a regular service area for us, along with the surrounding Johnston County communities.
How do I know whether my Clayton roof needs a repair or a replacement?
If the damage is confined to one area and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is usually the right call. If shingles are curling or shedding granules across the whole roof, replacement is the more economical choice. The free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
How do I know if my Clayton roof needs repair or replacement?
If damage is confined to one area and the rest is sound, repair. Curling or granule loss across the whole roof means replacement is the cheaper answer over time.
Does Clayton permitting differ from Raleigh?
Yes. Clayton is in Johnston County and permits through the Town of Clayton, so it is a different office from the one Raleigh homeowners deal with.
