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 Wake Forest
Your local Wake Forest roofing contractor
Lamar Homes Roofing covers Wake Forest and northern Wake County. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured.
Wake Forest has a lot of mature tree cover, and that is a mixed blessing for a roof. Shade keeps shingles cooler, which helps them last. Overhanging limbs do the opposite: the needles and leaves they drop pack into valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the roof, and give moss and algae somewhere to take hold.
If your roof sits under trees, the valleys and the gutter line are the places worth checking first.

What we see on Wake Forest roofs
01
Heavy tree canopy
Wake Forest has mature trees over a lot of its housing. Shade keeps shingles cooler and helps them last, which is the upside.
02
Debris in the valleys
The downside is what the trees drop. Leaves and needles pack into valleys and gutters, hold moisture against the roof and give moss somewhere to establish.
03
Limbs over the roofline
Overhanging branches scour granules off the surface every time the wind moves them, and they are the first thing to come down in a storm.

After a storm
Hail or wind damage? Start here.
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.

Wake Forest roofing questions
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.
Do you serve Wake Forest and north Wake County?
Yes. Wake Forest is a regular service area for us, along with the neighboring communities north of Raleigh.
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.
Is the moss on my Wake Forest roof a problem?
It is a symptom rather than the cause. Moss grows where moisture sits, so it usually points to shade plus trapped debris in that part of the roof.
