Lamar Homes

Roofing in Lexington, from our Raleigh office

Lamar Homes Roofing serves Lexington from our Raleigh office, about an hour and forty minutes west. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured. Because of the distance, inspections are scheduled ahead rather than same day.

Lexington grew around furniture and textiles, and much of its housing dates from those decades: compact homes on modest lots, many on their third or fourth roof. Layers are the thing to check. Two layers of shingle is the maximum, and a house that has been reroofed over the top twice needs a full tear-off.

Weather-wise Lexington is Piedmont: the 2002 ice storm that put half an inch of ice across the region is the pattern to build for, with ice and water shield at the eaves and limbs kept off the roof.

On the ground

What Lexington roofs are up against

What each town's housing, permits and weather ask of a roof, sourced rather than assumed.

Layers on older homes

Many Lexington roofs have been covered over rather than torn off. The second layer is the last one allowed; we check at the drip edge before quoting.

Ice storms

Piedmont freezing rain backs water up under the shingles at the eaves. Ice and water shield there is the difference between a wet ceiling and a dry one.

City or county permit

Lexington issues its own permits inside the city; Davidson County handles the rest. Most like-for-like replacements are exempt.

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.

Local detail

Permits and paperwork in Lexington

Inside the city, Lexington handles permits through its own CityView permit portal; outside the limits, Davidson County Central Permitting on Greensboro Street takes over. North Carolina exempts a like-for-like roof replacement from a building permit when the job costs $40,000 or less and touches no more than 15 percent of the roof deck.

Questions

Lexington roofing questions

Where do I get a roofing permit in Lexington?

Inside the city, the City of Lexington's permit portal; outside, Davidson County Central Permitting. A like-for-like replacement under $40,000 needs no permit under state law.

How far is Lexington from your office?

About an hour and forty minutes from Raleigh. Inspections are booked ahead.

Do you serve Welcome, Tyro and the county roads around Lexington?

Yes. Davidson County properties outside the city are covered on the same scheduled visits.

Can you go over my existing shingles instead of tearing off?

Only if there is a single layer and the decking is sound. Two layers already up there means a full tear-off, which we price separately so you can see it.
