Like Lexington, Thomasville's housing comes largely from its furniture decades, which means roofs on their third or fourth cycle and a real chance of two layers already on the deck. Chimneys are common, and old chimney flashing is the single most frequent leak point on a house of that age.
The weather to build for is ice. The December 2002 storm left more than a million customers without power for up to ten days across the Piedmont, and the roofs that came through it best had ice and water shield at the eaves and no limbs within reach.

Reroofing over the old shingles was common for decades. If two layers are up there, the next roof is a tear-off, and we price it as one.
Freezing rain backs water under the first courses of shingle. Ice and water shield at the eaves is standard on every replacement we do here.
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.
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.
Thomasville runs its own Planning and Inspections department for permits inside the city; Davidson County handles the county roads around it. 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.

Ice at the flashing. Water freezes in the gap, lifts the flashing, then melts through. Replacing the flashing fixes it; caulk does not.
