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 Winston-Salem
Roof repair, replacement and inspection in Winston-Salem
Lamar Homes Roofing serves Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured. Inspections here are scheduled ahead rather than same day.
The Triad's signature roof problem is ice. The December 2002 ice storm put half an inch or more of ice from Charlotte to Raleigh, brought down trees across the region and left more than a million customers without power for up to ten days. Ice on a roof means weight, limbs, and water refreezing under shingles at the eaves.
Winston-Salem's housing runs from the historic West End and Old Salem to the post-war neighborhoods and the subdivisions off the beltway. Historic roofs are inspected differently and quoted line by line.

What Winston-Salem roofs are up against
01
Ice at the eaves
Freezing rain refreezes at the roof edge and backs water up under the shingles. Ice and water shield along the eaves is not optional on a Triad roof.
02
Limbs after an ice storm
The 2002 storm brought trees down region-wide. Limb strikes crack decking under shingles that look intact from the ground.
03
One inspections office for the county
The City-County Inspections Division covers Winston-Salem and most of Forsyth County. Like-for-like replacements need no permit.

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.
Most roof work in Winston-Salem 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, starting with a temporary cover when the roof is open to the weather. If it is past repairing, we show you the numbers on a replacement instead.

Winston-Salem roofing questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Winston-Salem?
The City-County Inspections Division treats a like-for-like replacement as exempt, matching state law for jobs under $40,000. Structural repairs need one.
How far is Winston-Salem from Lamar Homes?
About an hour and fifty minutes from Raleigh. We book inspections ahead and group visits.
Do you serve Kernersville and Clemmons as well?
Yes. Forsyth County towns around Winston-Salem are covered on the same scheduled visits.
Should a Winston-Salem roof have ice and water shield?
Yes, at the eaves and in the valleys. It is the layer that stops refreezing water from getting under the shingles, and we install it on every replacement here.
