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 Rocky Mount
Roof repair, replacement and inspection in Rocky Mount
Lamar Homes Roofing serves Rocky Mount on both the Nash and Edgecombe sides. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured.
Rocky Mount's weather history is written in water. During Hurricane Floyd the city recorded 16.55 inches of rain in 24 hours, still its highest on record, and the Tar River went to major flood stage. Roofs here are asked to shed tropical rain a few times a decade, which is where undersized gutters, clogged valleys and tired flashing show themselves.
The housing stock runs from the mill village and downtown homes to the newer subdivisions on the west side. The older roofs are steeper and more cut up; the newer ones are simpler and approaching their first replacement.

What Rocky Mount roofs are up against
01
Tropical rain, not just wind
Floyd dropped 16.55 inches on Rocky Mount in a day. A roof that sheds a normal storm can still fail at the valleys and flashing when the rain arrives sideways for twelve hours.
02
Two counties, one inspections office
Nash or Edgecombe, the city's own Inspection Services Division handles the permit. Its list treats roof coverings more strictly than the state, so we check first.
03
Mill village and downtown roofs
Steeper pitches, more valleys, and sometimes original metal. Older Rocky Mount homes are inspected from the roof and quoted line by line.

02

03
Financing or Approved Through Insurance
We walk you through financing options or handle the insurance claim process alongside you.
Most roof work in Rocky Mount 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.

Rocky Mount roofing questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Rocky Mount?
State law exempts most like-for-like replacements, but Rocky Mount's own permit list is stricter on roof coverings. We confirm with Inspection Services before the job starts.
How far is Rocky Mount from your Raleigh office?
About an hour east on US 64. Inspections are booked ahead rather than same day.
Do you cover both the Nash and Edgecombe sides of Rocky Mount?
Yes. The city line does not change the roof or the permit office; the same division covers both.
Is a metal roof better here because of hurricanes?
For wind and heavy rain, standing seam metal holds up better than shingle. Whether it is worth the cost depends on how long you are staying; we quote both side by side.
