Myers Park Roofing for Century-Old Homes
Myers Park was planned in 1911, and many of its homes are close to a hundred years old, with steep, cut-up rooflines and decades of earlier repairs underneath. Horizon Roofing and Restoration inspects what’s under the shingles before giving you a number, so the plan fits the house you actually have.

What We See on Myers Park Roofs
The homes
Most Myers Park homes went up between 1911 and 1937. Colonial Revival is the most common style, followed by bungalows and Tudor Revival, according to the neighborhood’s National Register of Historic Places inventory. Many of the roofs are steep and multi-gabled, with hip, gambrel and curved-eave designs mixed in. A roof that looks like one surface from the street can be many planes joined at many points, and each joint is a place water can get in.
What’s under the shingles
A roof this old has often been replaced more than once, sometimes by laying new shingles over old ones. Under that, older homes can have board decking instead of plywood, with gaps that need fixing before new underlayment goes down. That’s why we look under the shingles before quoting a replacement here.
Tile, slate and copper
Some Myers Park homes have clay tile or slate roofs, and some have copper valleys, gutters or porch roofs. Often the copper itself is sound and only a soldered seam or the flashing at a chimney or wall has failed, which is a much smaller repair than replacing the whole system.
Oaks and storms
Century-old oaks shade many Myers Park streets. They also drop limbs in storms, keep north-facing roof slopes damp, and fill standard gutters quickly. We plan the roof and gutters around that.

Roof replacement in Myers Park
A roof replacement in Myers Park means removing the old roofing, checking the decking, and installing new underlayment, flashing and shingles or metal. We replace architectural shingle roofs, asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, slate, tile and cedar shake roofs, and we protect your landscaping as we work. See our roof replacement cleanup and property protection process.
How much does a new roof cost?
The average cost of a roof replacement varies because every roof is different. The size and pitch of the roof, the shingle or metal you choose, how many layers come off and any decking repairs all change the price. After a free inspection, we give you a free roof estimate for your Myers Park home. Read our Charlotte roof replacement cost guide to see what drives the cost of a new roof.
Roof repair or replacement?
A roof leak, a few missing shingles or failed flashing can often be fixed with a roof repair. For an active leak, see our emergency roof repair page. When shingles are curling, cracking or shedding granules across the roof, or the roof is near the end of its life, replacement is often a better choice than repeated repairs. Our guide to roof repair vs. replacement explains how to decide.
Hail damage and roof insurance claims
If hail or wind has damaged your roof, we do a hail damage roof inspection and tell you what we find. When there is storm and hail damage, we help you through the roof insurance claim process so you are not handling the paperwork alone.

Roofing in Foxcroft
Foxcroft is a wedge-shaped neighborhood south of Myers Park, next to SouthPark, with Providence Road along its eastern edge and Sharon and Fairview Roads on its other sides. Most homes date from the mid-20th century: French Provincial, Georgian and long mid-century houses on larger-than-average lots, with some going back to the 1930s. Many have since been renovated or rebuilt, so roof ages can vary from house to house on the same street.
Large lots shaded by mature trees mean more storm limbs, more debris on the roof and faster-filling gutters. With renovations and additions common, we check where an older section meets a newer one, because that flashing is a common leak point.
Roofing in Eastover
Eastover sits across Providence Road from Myers Park. It was developed by the E.C. Griffith Company starting in 1927, its first houses went up in 1928, and the southern streets were added from the 1940s through the 1960s.
That spread of building dates means Eastover roofs vary widely, from 1920s and 1930s houses with decades of earlier repairs to postwar homes that are often simpler to replace. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in after the inspection.
Other Nearby Areas We Serve

One of Charlotte’s earliest streetcar suburbs, with bungalows and revival-style homes from the early 1900s, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Plaza Midwood
A Charlotte local historic district since 1992. Replacing a roof with the same material does not need Historic District Commission approval, but changing materials can, and we factor that into the schedule.

Myers Park Roofing Questions, Answered
Do I need historic district approval to replace my roof in Myers Park?
Usually not. Outside Hermitage Court, Myers Park is not a Charlotte local historic district, so the Historic District Commission does not review roof work there. Hermitage Court is its own local district. There, replacing a roof with the same material does not need approval, but switching materials, especially slate, tile or metal, gets a staff review first. Plaza Midwood is also a local district. We check your address before scheduling.
Does my HOA need to approve a new roof?
It depends on where you live. Some Myers Park subdivisions, condo and townhome communities have their own association rules. Check your deed or HOA documents, and we'll provide product and color details for any approval request.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement?
North Carolina law generally doesn't require a permit for roof replacement work costing $40,000 or less on a single-family home. Larger jobs, or jobs involving load-bearing structure, can change that, and we pull a permit whenever one is required.
My house has copper valleys and gutters. Do they have to come off?
Usually not. The copper often has decades left; what fails is a soldered seam or the flashing where copper meets a chimney or wall. We inspect the copper separately from the shingles and tell you which is which.
What if my roof already has more than one layer of shingles?
It adds tear-off time and disposal, and often uncovers board decking that needs work before new underlayment goes on. We check for layers during the inspection so the estimate doesn't change mid-job.
Do the oak trees damage my roof?
Indirectly. Limbs come down in storms, shade keeps north-facing slopes damp, and leaves overload small gutters. The trees can stay; the roof and gutters just need to be planned for them. We tarp or cover shrubs and flower beds before tear-off and clean up debris throughout the job.
How long does a Myers Park roof replacement take?
Most roof replacements on an average-size home take one to three days once materials are on site. Steep, multi-gable rooflines, multiple layers to remove, rotted decking that needs repair, and bad weather can add time. After your free inspection, we give you a schedule specific to your roof.
Will you protect my landscaping and clean up after the roof replacement?
Yes. Before tear-off, we tarp or cover shrubs, flowers and decks, and we clean up throughout the job, including a magnetic nail sweep of the driveway, walkways and landscaping edges before we leave. See how we protect your property and clean up.
