Roof Replacement

Full tear-off roof replacement with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, installed by a GAF Certified Plus crew based in Pittsboro. Most homes are finished in 1 to 2 days.

GAF Certified PlusLicensed & Insured50-Year Workmanship Warranty

Full tear-off roof replacement, never an overlay

Every Skyline roof replacement is a full tear-off. We strip the old shingles to the deck, repair any damaged wood, dry it in, and install GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with LayerLock technology, the most installed shingle in North America. Most replacements are done in 1 to 2 days, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that installs it.

You see everything we do. The job is documented with CompanyCam photos from tear-off to the final magnetic sweep, and because we are a GAF Certified Plus roofing contractor, the manufacturer warranty is registered in your name before we call the job done. Not sure the roof is ready for replacement? Start with the two-question repair-or-replace test.

What Is Included

What a full tear-off roof replacement includes

Every replacement follows the same scope, whether the home is in Pittsboro or 25 miles out.

Tear-off to the deck

Old shingles, underlayment, and flashing come off completely. Nothing is layered over, so problems in the deck are found instead of buried.

Deck repair and dry-in

Damaged decking is repaired before new underlayment goes down, so the roof is watertight before the first shingle is nailed.

GAF Timberline HDZ shingles

LayerLock technology bonds the shingle layers for stronger wind performance and nailing accuracy. Other colors and lines are available on request.

Flashing, boots, and ridge

New flashing at chimneys and walls, new pipe boots, and the ridge sealed from underlayment to peak, so the weak points are new as well.

CompanyCam photo record

Every stage is photographed and tied to your address, from the deck we uncover to the finished ridge, and the pictures are yours to keep.

Cleanup and warranty registration

Debris hauled away, a magnetic sweep for nails across the yard, and your lifetime limited manufacturer warranty registered with GAF.

When To Replace

Signs you need a roof replacement

Our rule of thumb on every inspection: a roof under 15 years old with localized damage gets a repair, not a replacement pitch. Over 18 years old, or with problems in more than one area, replacement is usually the better spend. If the damage is limited to one spot, a repair is the cheaper fix and we will say so.

These are the signs that tip the decision toward a new roof. The numbers match the callouts on the drawing:

Roof section and roof plan. Callouts 1 to 6 match the list

1: Shingles curling, cracking, or missing on more than one slope. 2: Granule loss in the valleys and bald patches on the shingle surface. 3: Leaks or ceiling stains in more than one room. 4: Hail bruising or wind creasing spread across the roof after a storm. 5: A roof over 18 years old with repairs already behind it. 6: Sagging along the ridge or between rafters, which points to the deck.

Materials

Roof replacement materials and shingle colors

Shingle
GAF Timberline HDZ with LayerLock technology, the most installed shingle in North America. Other GAF lines are available if you want a different look.
Colors
Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Barkwood, and Weathered Wood are the popular picks. Choose a style in the instant estimate, then hold the samples during your material consultation.
Metal roofing
Metal systems are available as an alternative to shingles. The white metal farmhouse roof in Siler City in our gallery is one of ours. Ask during the material consultation.
Underlayment
New underlayment and membrane across the whole deck, sealed from the eave to the ridge. The old layers never stay under the new roof.
Flashing and boots
New flashing at chimneys, walls, and skylights, plus new pipe boots. We do not reuse old flashing on a new roof.

Warranty

Roof replacement warranty coverage

Two warranties on every roof, plus the GAF upgrade tiers only certified contractors can register.

Lifetime limited manufacturer warranty

GAF covers the Timberline HDZ shingles against manufacturing defects. "Limited" means it covers the product, not the installation, which is why the second warranty matters.

50-year workmanship warranty

Our own coverage on the installation itself. If a roof leaks because of how it was nailed, flashed, or sealed, we come back and fix it. In writing, with your quote.

System Plus and Silver Pledge

Registered GAF upgrades that extend manufacturer backing across the whole roofing system and, with Silver Pledge, the workmanship too. What each warranty tier actually covers.

Cost

Roof replacement cost and financing

Typical range
Most full replacements in our area land between $8,500 and $18,000.
2,000 sq ft home
A typical 2,000 square foot home runs $11,000 to $14,500.
What moves the price
Roof size, pitch, the number of old layers coming off, and the shingle or metal system you choose.
Financing
0% and low-APR roof financing from 12 to 120 months for qualified homeowners. Checking your options is a soft credit pull that will not ding your score.
Storm damage
If a storm caused the damage, the replacement may be an insurance claim instead of a bill. On approved claims you typically pay only your deductible. See storm damage insurance claims for a wind or hail damaged roof.

FAQ

Roof replacement questions

Most full replacements in our area land between $8,500 and $18,000, and a typical 2,000 square foot home runs $11,000 to $14,500. Size, pitch, layers, and materials move the number. The free 60-second instant estimate gives you a ballpark for your exact address before anyone visits.

Most replacements are done in 1 to 2 days. The same crew tears off, dries in, and shingles in the same visit, then finishes with a full cleanup and a magnetic sweep so nothing sharp is left in your yard.

Always a full tear-off, never an overlay. Layering new shingles over old hides deck damage, adds weight, and shortens the life of the new roof. Stripping to the deck is the only way to find and fix what is underneath.

A lifetime limited manufacturer warranty on the GAF Timberline HDZ shingles plus our own 50-year workmanship warranty on the installation. As a GAF Certified Plus contractor we can also register System Plus and Silver Pledge upgrades that most local roofers cannot.

Yes. We offer 0% and low-APR options with terms from 12 to 120 months for qualified homeowners. Checking your options is a soft credit pull that will not affect your score, and the options arrive with your quote when you ask.

If the roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized, repair it. If it is over 18 years old or the problems are widespread, replacement is usually the better spend. We show you the inspection photos behind whichever answer we give.
