A New Roof Built for Charlotte Weather
Charlotte’s weather is hard on roofs. Intense summer thunderstorms, hail, high winds and the occasional winter freeze all wear on the roof over your head. A damaged roof is not only a looks issue. It affects your home’s structure, comfort and value.
When your roof shows signs of significant wear, leaks or storm damage, you need more than a quick fix.
Horizon is locally owned and operated, so the weather problems we see on Charlotte roofs are the same ones we deal with at our own homes. Our team replaces vulnerable roofs with quality materials and careful installation matched to your home, whether you need an architectural shingle roof, a metal roof or another material.
Not sure yet that you need a new roof? A free roof inspection tells you where your roof stands before you decide anything.

Roof Replacement or Repair? How We Decide in Charlotte
Not every damaged or leaky roof needs to be replaced. Sometimes an expert diagnosis and timely roof repair is all that is required. Leaks and damage can also come from improper installation rather than age, and not every leak calls for an insurance claim. Our first step is a full roof inspection to assess the damage and find where water is getting in.
For an active leak, see our emergency roof repair page. If repair is the right call, we prepare an estimate for the cost to repair your roof.
Storm damage is less straightforward. If our inspection shows that a storm caused the damage, you will need to file an insurance claim, and we work with homeowners at every step of that process.
When shingles are curling or cracking 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.
Signs You Need a Roof Replacement in Charlotte
If you are worried that your roof might need to be replaced, these are the signs to look for.
Shingle edges are curling
Curling shingle edges or cupped shingle tabs can mean water has gotten into the roof and is already causing damage.
You notice a leak or sagging
There is no such thing as a small leak. Even a little water can turn into a much larger problem, so call us as soon as you see one.
Shingles are missing, cracked or covered in moss or algae
Visible damage is a good reason to call your local Horizon roofers for an inspection.
Your roof is 20+ years old or looks worn
Even properly installed roofs wear out under years of weather. If yours has not been replaced in two decades or longer, have it inspected.
Roof Types We Replace in Charlotte
We can match the type of material your roof is made of, and we offer roof replacement in each of these:
Asphalt shingles
The most common roof on Charlotte homes. We install architectural shingles, also called dimensional shingles, which are thicker and layered, and we replace older 3-tab roofs.
Slate
Natural slate replacement for older and historic homes.
Cedar shake
Cedar shake roofs matched to the look of your home.
Clay tile
Clay tile roof replacement.
Imitation slate and cedar shake
Composite shingles that give the look of slate or cedar shake.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Charlotte?
There is no single price that fits every Charlotte home. The average cost of a roof replacement you see online cannot account for your roof’s size, pitch, materials and condition. After a free inspection, we give you a free estimate for your home.
For a fuller breakdown, see our Charlotte roof replacement cost guide.
- The size and pitch of the roof. Larger or steeper roofs take more materials and labor.
- The roofing material: asphalt shingles, metal, tile or slate. Premium materials cost more.
- The complexity of the roof, including valleys, chimneys and skylights.
- The condition of the existing roof and any structural or decking repairs.
- The contractor you choose, since experience, workmanship and warranty vary.
Hail and Wind Damage: When to Replace Your Charlotte Roof
Hail and high winds can cause serious storm damage to your roof. Hail can dent and puncture shingles, and strong winds can lift or tear them off, leaving your home exposed to water.
Even if you are not sure a storm did real damage, we can do a hail damage roof inspection to see whether your roof needs repair or replacement.
Whether insurance covers a roof replacement depends on your policy and what caused the damage. When a storm is the cause, we work with your insurance company to make the roof insurance claim process easier, and we help you make sure the claim covers what your roof needs.

Roof Replacement FAQs
How do you know if a roof needs to be replaced or repaired?
Roof replacements in North Carolina are fairly common. Mild, wet winters and sometimes harsh summer storms mean houses frequently develop damage and leaks. We start every job with a free roof inspection to find out whether your roof is better served by repairs or replacement. If the roof is at the end of its lifespan, replacing it may be a better choice than repairing it. See our guide to roof repair vs. replacement.
How much does a new roof cost in Charlotte?
The cost of a new roof depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, how complex the roof is and whether the decking needs repair. We give you a free estimate after a free inspection. Our Charlotte roof replacement cost guide explains what drives the price.
What is included in a roof replacement?
We start with a free inspection and estimate. If your insurance company is involved, we help with the claim paperwork. Once the job is approved, labor, permits, fees, materials, gutters and gutter guards are all included in the final price. See how we protect your landscaping and home during the work in our roof replacement cleanup and property protection process.
Do you offer free estimates for roof replacements?
Yes. We offer free inspections and free estimates. Even if you do not suspect damage, an inspection is a good idea when your roof is older, so you know whether it needs repairs or a full replacement.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Damage from a storm, such as hail or wind, may be covered, while wear from age often is not. We inspect the roof, document the damage and help you through the roof insurance claim process.
How do you negotiate a roof replacement with insurance?
After you file a claim, our team reviews your paperwork to make sure all of the required repairs are listed and paid for. We answer your questions along the way and work with your insurance company so that the problem areas, materials and labor are covered. See how our insurance claims process works.
Can you finance a roof replacement?
Yes. Roof replacements can be financed through our partner, Greensky, with flexible loan options to make monthly or no-interest payments, so you do not have to drain your savings. Learn more about roof financing.
What is the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?
A 3-tab shingle is a flat, single-layer shingle. An architectural shingle, also called a dimensional shingle, is thicker and layered, which gives the roof more depth. We can walk you through the options for your home at your free estimate.
What types of roofs do you replace?
We replace asphalt shingle roofs, including architectural shingles, as well as metal, slate, cedar shake, clay tile and imitation slate or cedar shake roofs.
