Common Shingle Roof Problems

Is Your Roof Showing Signs of Wear?

Shingle roofs are among the most popular roofing systems for residential properties, valued for their affordability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. However, even the most well-installed shingle roofs eventually face wear from exposure to the elements. In Chapel Hill, where properties experience humid summers, heavy rains, and occasional severe weather, shingles can deteriorate faster than homeowners expect. Missing or curling shingles often signal underlying issues that need prompt attention to prevent water intrusion and structural damage.

One of the most common problems property owners encounter is granule loss, which occurs when the protective coating on asphalt shingles wears away. This leaves the underlying material vulnerable to UV damage and moisture penetration. Another frequent issue is improper ventilation, which can cause excessive heat buildup in the attic, leading to premature shingle aging and reduced energy efficiency. Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights also creates entry points for water, potentially leading to leaks that compromise insulation, ceilings, and interior finishes.

Storm damage represents another significant concern for homeowners in Durham County. High winds can lift shingles, exposing the roof deck to rain and debris. Hail impacts may crack or puncture shingles, creating weak spots that worsen over time. When these issues go unaddressed, small problems escalate into costly repairs affecting not only the roof but also interior spaces. If you've noticed any warning signs or your roof is approaching 15 to 20 years old, it's wise to arrange a professional inspection to identify potential issues before they develop into major headaches.

      Our experience with Chapel Hill Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Chapel Hill Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Chapel Hill Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Chapel Hill Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Chapel Hill Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Chapel Hill Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Chapel Hill Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Chapel Hill Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Chapel Hill Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Chapel Hill Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Chapel Hill Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Chapel Hill Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Chapel Hill Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Chapel Hill Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Chapel Hill Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Chapel Hill Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Chapel Hill Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Chapel Hill Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Chapel Hill Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Chapel Hill Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Chapel Hill Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Chapel Hill Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Chapel Hill Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Chapel Hill Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Chapel Hill Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Chapel Hill Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Chapel Hill Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Chapel Hill Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Chapel Hill Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Chapel Hill Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Chapel Hill Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Chapel Hill Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Chapel Hill Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Chapel Hill Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Chapel Hill Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Chapel Hill Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Chapel Hill Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Chapel Hill Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Shingle Roofing FAQs for Chapel Hill Homeowners

      We understand that selecting a roofing contractor and making decisions about shingle roof replacement or repair involves careful consideration. Homeowners naturally have questions about materials, processes, timelines, and what to expect during a roofing project. Our experienced team has compiled answers to the most common questions we receive from property owners throughout Chapel Hill and Durham County. We're here to provide clear, helpful information that empowers you to make confident decisions about protecting your home.

      Several indicators suggest your shingle roof may need replacement rather than repair. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded two decades of age, replacement often makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Visual signs include widespread curling or cupping of shingles, significant granule loss that exposes the asphalt layer underneath, multiple shingles that are cracked or missing, and daylight visible through the roof deck from your attic. Interior signs like water stains on ceilings, mold growth in the attic, or increased energy bills due to poor insulation performance also point to roof system failure. A professional inspection can assess the overall condition of your roof and provide recommendations based on the extent of wear and remaining service life.
      North Carolina's climate presents specific challenges for roofing systems, including high humidity, intense summer heat, heavy rainfall, and occasional severe storms. Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice due to their affordability and versatility, but architectural shingles and dimensional shingles offer enhanced durability and wind resistance. For properties in areas prone to high winds, consider shingles rated for wind speeds appropriate to your location. Impact-resistant shingles provide additional protection against hail damage, which can occur during severe weather events. Energy-efficient shingles with reflective properties help reduce cooling costs by deflecting solar heat rather than absorbing it. Your roofing contractor can recommend specific products based on your home's exposure, local weather patterns, and performance priorities.
      The duration of a shingle roof replacement depends on several variables, including the size and complexity of your roof, the type of shingles being installed, weather conditions, and the extent of any necessary repairs to the underlying roof deck or structural components. A straightforward residential roof replacement typically takes anywhere from a few days to a week under favorable conditions. Larger homes with multiple roof planes, steep pitches, or architectural features like dormers and chimneys require additional time for proper installation. Weather plays a significant role, as rain or extreme heat can delay work for safety reasons and to ensure proper adhesive curing. Your contractor should provide a projected timeline during the initial consultation and keep you informed of any adjustments as the project progresses.
      A properly installed shingle roof can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency through several mechanisms. Modern shingles, particularly those with reflective coatings or lighter colors, reduce solar heat gain by reflecting rather than absorbing sunlight. This helps keep attic temperatures lower, reducing the load on your cooling system during hot Durham County summers. Proper ventilation installed as part of the roofing system allows heat to escape from the attic space, preventing heat buildup that can radiate into living areas. New underlayment and insulation upgrades completed during roof replacement further enhance thermal performance. When combined with proper attic insulation and sealing, these improvements can result in noticeable reductions in cooling costs and improved comfort throughout your home.
      Preparing your property helps ensure the roofing project proceeds smoothly and protects your belongings from potential damage. Start by clearing items from your attic, as vibrations from roof work can dislodge stored items. Remove wall decorations, mirrors, and fragile items from rooms directly beneath the roof area, as hammering and material removal can cause vibrations. Trim tree branches that overhang or touch the roof to provide clear access for workers and prevent damage to new shingles. Move vehicles, outdoor furniture, grills, and planters away from the immediate work area to prevent damage from falling debris. Cover items in your garage if it's attached to the house, and consider protecting landscaping near the foundation with tarps or boards. Your roofing contractor can provide specific recommendations based on your property's layout and the scope of work planned.
      Regular maintenance helps extend the service life of your shingle roof and allows early detection of potential issues before they become costly problems. Schedule professional inspections at least once per year, ideally in spring or fall, to assess shingle condition, check flashing, and ensure proper drainage. After severe weather events, conduct a visual inspection from the ground to identify obvious damage like missing or lifted shingles. Keep gutters and downspouts clean to prevent water backup that can damage shingles and underlying materials. Trim overhanging branches to prevent rubbing against shingles and reduce debris accumulation. Remove moss, algae, or debris buildup promptly, as these can trap moisture and accelerate shingle deterioration. Address minor repairs quickly to prevent water intrusion and more extensive damage. Your roofing contractor can provide specific maintenance recommendations based on the shingle product installed and your property's exposure to environmental factors.
