5 Best Roofing Contractors in Pittsboro, NC

Written by Jonathan Kennedy | Apr 28, 2023

If you’re in Pittsboro and need a roof repair or roof replacement, it can get pretty difficult to find a good roofing company that actually serves your area.

What makes it even more difficult is that some ranking websites prioritize companies that pay for their rankings, and some of them may not even serve Pittsboro at all.

In order to help you narrow down your search for a reliable Pittsboro roofing company, we wanted to create an article breaking down who some of the more reputable roofers are, and give you some information about them.

In this article, we’re going to be going over:

Before we jump into this, a quick note, we haven’t had any personal interactions with these companies, so their presence on this list isn’t because we like them or they asked us to be included. The information here was gathered from their websites, and they’ve earned their spot here based on reviews that we’ve seen from their customers. Also, they are not ranked on here in any particular order. 

Alright, so let’s get started!

How do Roofing Companies Clean Up?

If you’re considering getting a roof replacement, you’re probably also wondering about what state your property will be left in after it’s all said and done. Different roofing companies have different ways of going about this, but there are a few things that should absolutely be done to make sure things are kept clean.

How your property should be prepared

The first step that your company should take to protect your property is to document exactly how everything was when they arrived. More sophisticated roofers will take pictures of everything around the house, any damage that might already exist, as well as anything breakable. That way, if anything breaks, they’ll know exactly what happened.

The crew should also start by placing tarps over sensitive areas of the house like over porches and in front of windows, really anywhere that debris will be falling from the roof. The tarps should cover the face of the house, and down over the ground where the debris will land. This way it will be much easier for the crew to see and clean up the nails and other old materials that have fallen down to the ground.

 

If there are even more sensitive areas around the home, like an HVAC unit or a special garden, be sure to let your contractor know. They may be able to take special care around those places, and even put together boards in a structure that may help protect them from falling debris.

The roofing crew should also have had a dumpster delivered to the jobsite the morning of the replacement, so that they have a place to store all of the discarded materials in an organized way.

 

Keeping it Clean During the Job

During the tear off the materials should be periodically gathered and put into the dumpster, and the area where they were should also be cleaned up. When everything is taken down from the roof, the crew will focus on making sure that everything is clean up before they start opening up the packages for the new roofing materials.

On top of the roof, there will likely be someone either sweeping or blowing off the roof to make sure that all the debris gets off now, instead of coming down later when it next rains. The same should be done with your gutters. Debris may get stuck in them, especially if leaves or pine straw have already been in there.

That step is especially important, as gutter clogs can cause a lot of havoc later on if they get backed up when it rains. Water can work its way back underneath shingles, and start to rot the decking and fascia in those areas.

After the Installation

Immediately following the installation, the crew will start looking more closely around the property for bits of shingles and loose nails around the property. This will include checking beds of pine straw for nails, as well as shaking out the gutter spouts to make sure everything got through the way it should.

The team will also sweep the yard with magnets, that will more easily pick up nails and dispose of them in the dumpster. One quick note: if you’re able to, it’s a good idea to cut your grass shortly before you get a roof replacement done. The short grass will make it much easier for the crew to spot any fallen nails, and make it easier for the magnet to grab them through the grass.

Once this is all wrapped up, a truck will come to take the dumpster, the crew will gather all of their tools, and leave your property looking as good as new, complete with a new roof on top!

After reading through this list of roofing companies, and learning about how most roofers try to keep your property safe, I hope you’re starting to feel more and more comfortable taking the next steps in your roofing process!
