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.
