Lamar Homes

Roofing in Winston-Salem, from our Raleigh office

Lamar Homes Roofing serves Winston-Salem from our Raleigh office, about an hour and fifty minutes west. GAF Certified, family owned, licensed and insured. Inspections here are scheduled ahead because of the distance.

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.

On the ground

What Winston-Salem roofs are up against

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Winston-Salem

Permits and inspections across Forsyth County run through the joint City-County Inspections Division in Winston-Salem, whose rule is that adding roofing needs a permit while a like-for-like replacement does not. 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

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.
