Seeing one of these? Your roof is asking for a repair.

Most roof leaks start small and stay hidden until the drywall gives it away. If any of these sound familiar, have us look before the next rain does more damage.

  • A water stain, bubble, or drip on a ceiling or wall
  • Missing, cracked, curling, or lifted shingles
  • Shingle granules collecting in the gutters or downspouts
  • Wind, hail, or fallen-branch damage after a storm
  • Leaks around the chimney, pipe boots, vents, or a skylight
  • Daylight in the attic, damp insulation, or a soft spot underfoot

  • Same core crew for 26 years. The people who repaired roofs here a decade ago still do.
  • 150+ years of combined experience across asphalt shingle, metal and low-slope roofs.
  • Serving Hillsborough and the Triangle since 1986, from our own warehouse and office on Cornerstone Court.

  • Leak detection & shingle repair

    We trace the water to its source, not just the stain, and replace damaged asphalt shingles to match your roof.

  • Storm & wind damage

    Emergency tarping, board-up, and full documentation with photos. We work directly with your homeowners' insurance.

  • Flashing, valleys & chimneys

    Re-flashing where the roof meets chimneys, walls, and valleys, the details that fail first on an aging roof.

  • Pipe boots, vents & skylight leaks

    Cracked boots and failed seals are the most common Triangle leak. Quick to fix when caught early.

  • Metal roof repair

    Fastener replacement, seam sealing, and panel repair on standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs.

  • Decking & rot replacement

    If water has reached the deck, we replace the rotted sheathing before it spreads, and show you the before and after.

From your call to a finished roof repair

Three steps. You always know what happens next, and the price you approve is the price you pay.

  1. Free estimate within 24 hours

    Call or send the form. A specialist contacts you within 24 hours to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you. No pressure, no obligation.

  2. On-site inspection, real diagnosis

  3. Repair, clean-up, walk-through

    You approve a written, itemized estimate; the price is locked. Our crew makes the repair with quality materials, cleans the site, and walks you through the finished work.

  • Google reviewerEmergency roof repair
    “A huge tree fell through our house… As soon as I called them, they came and boarded up the smaller holes in the roof that we wouldn't have even known were there until insurance people came and helped tarp us in better. Chief Roofing has definitely been there for us at a time when it was difficult to even think straight.”
  • Jeff S.Storm damage · insurance claim
    “After the wind damage right before Christmas, I had Chief Roofing come out to inspect the damage. We ended up filing through insurance… They did the whole thing in one day, were on time and cleaned up after. They did a great job. Would recommend!”
  • Kathy B.Returning customer
    “I had used Chief Roofing in the past and was very pleased, so 20+ years later we used them again. They showed up when they said every time, were in the same ballpark as other estimates, cleanup was excellent, and we are very happy with the outcome.”
  • Chuck L.Roof replacement
    “Everything happened as promised, schedule, specified materials, workmanship, and cleanup. Jerry (job foreman) was always on top of things, always available and very responsive.”
  • Denise M.Estimate + replacement
    “We were thrilled with the help we received. After seven estimates, we found the people who really explained what was going on and also had the best price and long-term solution.”
  • A. NickersonRoof installation
    “Chief Roofing installed my roof about 7 years ago. They were very professional, and they did an awesome job. When they finished, they cleaned up so good that you couldn't tell they had been here, except for the new roof.”

Roof repair questions, answered straight

Straight answers before we ever come out. Anything else, call (919) 732-5028.

How fast can you come out?

A specialist contacts you within 24 hours of your call or form to schedule the free on-site estimate. Active leaks and storm damage are scheduled first, and we can tarp or board up to stop the water while the repair is planned.

Repair or replace, how do I know?

We tell you straight after the inspection. A localized leak, a few damaged shingles, or a failed boot is a repair, and a small repair now often adds years to a roof. If the roof is at the end of its life, we will show you why with photos and give you both options in writing, the choice is yours.

Will you work with my homeowners' insurance?

Yes. We photograph and document storm damage the way adjusters need it, meet the adjuster on site if you want us to, and handle the claim process with you from inspection to final invoice.

What will the repair cost?

You get a written, itemized estimate after the inspection, and that price is locked once you sign, no add-ons or surprise fees. If the scope changes because we uncover more damage, you get a free re-quote before any extra work.

Do you repair metal roofs?

Yes, loose or backed-out fasteners, failed seam sealant, damaged panels, and flashing on both standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs.

Is the repair covered by a warranty?

Our lifetime workmanship warranty covers anything we install; if it fails because of our work, we fix it free. Manufacturer warranties on materials are included and passed to you.

Stop the leak before the next storm.
