Residential Roof Installation in Raleigh, NC

Your Next Roof Needs More Than Just Nails and Shingles

Raleigh homes face more than the occasional storm—they endure hail, summer heat waves, and surprise high-wind events that expose every weakness in a roof. Too many local roofs were installed with thin underlayment, fast-track labor, and the cheapest materials available. That’s not protection. That’s a liability.

At Summit Roofing of NC, we install residential roofing systems built for the realities of this region. We use materials that hold up in a North Carolina climate, follow a clean install process from tear-off to trim, and back every job with real accountability. You won’t need us again anytime soon—and that’s the point.

Roofs Built to Handle Raleigh’s Climate and Code

From humidity and heat to the headaches of HOA approvals, roofing in Raleigh isn’t just about shingles—it’s about knowing the terrain. We install every roof with:

  • Materials that meet or exceed local wind ratings
  • Drainage plans to prevent pooling during downpours
  • Proper attic ventilation to fight mold and rot
  • Precision installation that eliminates weak points

Residential Asphalt Shingle Installation

Dimensional (Architectural) Asphalt Shingles

Our most popular shingle for Raleigh homes—designed to last, resist wind uplift, and provide textured curb appeal. Installed with full synthetic underlayment and ridge vent systems. Lifetime warranty included.

Premium (Luxury) Asphalt Shingles

Thicker, bolder, and more durable. These shingles demand precision and load-conscious framing, and we deliver both. Installed cleanly with upgraded flashings, advanced adhesives, and longer lifespan.

Standard 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles

For homeowners focused on budget. Installed with the same precision and care we give to high-end systems—because even a basic roof deserves to be built right.

Raleigh Metal Roof Installation

Standing-Seam Metal Roofing

A premium upgrade for Raleigh homes. We install concealed fasteners and expansion clips to prevent buckling and moisture intrusion. 40-year manufacturer warranty.

Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing

A durable and budget-conscious option. We follow exact screw patterns and sealant specs to keep weather out—and performance in. 20-year coverage included.

Flat Roofing for Residential Properties

Flat or low-slope roofs can fail fast without proper detail. We layer membranes for durability, slope the roof to drain correctly, and seal every seam to resist Raleigh’s water-heavy storms. 20-year performance design standard.

A Process That Builds Trust

Every job follows our proven 5-step system:

Contact → Consultation → Installation → Clean-Up → Commitment

You get a clear plan, upfront pricing, and a crew that does what they say—no mystery charges, no rush jobs, no disappearing act.

Customer Reviews

Don’t just take our word for it—hear from our satisfied clients about how we’ve delivered top-quality roofing services with excellence and care.

If you need a new roof then these are your people. They did a great job in all aspects. I was so impressed on how well they took care of my property. Tearing off a roof is dirty work but at the end of the day my yard looked just like it did before they arrived. They were so easy to work with and did what they said they would when they said they would. They didn’t try to upsell me! Top notch I would without out a doubt use them again.

Steve C

Everything worked so well with Summit/Brantley the first time they did our roof that I reached out to him when our son’s home needed a new roof. Great service and wonderful people to deal with. Thank you!

Anthony Gallo

I highly recommend Summit Roofing for roof replacement. They made it easy for us to file a claim with our insurance company to replace the roof, and they were honest and upfront about everything during the entire process. I also know the owner personally, Brantley Blanchard, and he already had a reputation for excellent service in the roofing industry (which is why we chose them!). The crew came early, completed the job quickly, and they even came back for cleanup and checked the quality.

Brian Sylvester

Phenomenal experience when dealing with Summit Roofing. I have been using Summit for minor roof repairs until it was time to replace my roof. Once I was prepared to replace the roof Brantley and team came onsite and spent time with me discussion options and concerns. They quoted immediately and had me scheduled. The day of roofing the crew showed up and went to work, when finished it’s like they were never here. Not a single bit of debris was left behind. If you need roof repairs, new roof, or gutters, it’s absolutely necessary that you give serious consideration to Summit. Five star service, five star installation, impeccable attention to detail, and follow through.

Benjamin Perez

This came out awesome! I truly could not be any happier. Huge thanks to Anthony and the Whole Summit team. I had them replace 30 year old skylights while they were there and there wasn't a direct replacement for my openings. The owner showed up we got a plan, worked it out, and he stayed for the rest of the day. All great people.

Michael Finney

The best experience I've ever had with any contractor! Kevin worked with my insurance provider for eight months to get my roof fully replaced. He was awesome to work with, as was everyone else I interacted with at Summit. They went above and beyond to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the installation. Every company claims to prioritize customer satisfaction, but Summit truly delivers. If you need roofing work, I promise these guys won't disappoint you!

Brad Wells

Our experience with Summit Roofing was among the best of any we've had while working with any business. Brantley Blanchard's communication with us during the process was excellent. The crews for repairing the fascia, installing the roofing shingles, and reinstalling the gutters and gutter guards were very efficient, and completely cleaned up all debris. I highly recommend Summit Roofing.
