In Clayton and other parts of the Triangle region, we have more roofing companies than you could shake a stick at. So many companies claim to serve the entire Triangle, when really the bulk of their business comes from Durham.
Nothing against Durham, but it’s hard to have confidence in their claim that they serve an area when they’ve only ever done one or two jobs in that area.
Because of the confusion that is sometimes created by the number of roofing companies in our area, we wanted to put together a list of the best roofing contractors in Clayton, so that local Clayton homeowners can more easily find companies that are local, and dependable.
In this blog, we’re going over:
You may be wondering why we, a roofing company that serves Clayton, is writing about our competition in the area. Well, our mission is to become a source of roofing information for homeowners in the Triangle area, and that by sharing our knowledge and experience with you, you'll feel like you know us long before you need to reach out to us for a roofing service.
A big part of the roofing industry is of course, the companies, so we're going to talk about them! Companies can pay to be ranked highly on some of the more popular national rankings sites, so we took it upon ourselves to make lists of local roofers that you can trust are accurate and unbiased.
Please note that these companies are listed in no particular order, and what we present here was primarily based on information gathered from reviews and websites, not personal interactions that we have had with these companies ourselves.
Alright, let’s get started!
The first company on this list that has their headquarters in Clayton, Ready Roofing also has offices in Wilmington, North Carolina and Williamsburg, Virginia. They pride themselves on their quality craftsmanship, and have GAF Master Elite and Atlas Diamond Pro certifications to back up that claim. Ready Roofing has over 100 Google reviews, and with a rating of 4.7 stars at the time of writing this, those who work with the company tend to have a pretty good experience doing so.
Roof Central is one of the top roofing contractors serving the Clayton area, and provides multiple different services to eastern North Carolina. Some of these include roof repair, replacement, roof cleaning, metal roofing, gutter installation, and solar panel installation to residential and commercial customers. Their motto is “Start at the Top,” representing their trickle-down approach to the company’s culture of doing things correctly, from ownership to the installation crews.
Scro’s has been replacing and repairing commercial and residential roofs since 1995. They are headquartered in downtown Clayton, and have over 200 Google reviews from their customers all over the Triangle. Scro’s, also a GAF Master Elite contractor, has become well known for their faith-oriented company, and their lime-green trucks, on top of their roofing expertise.
Though they have their headquarters in Smithfield, Lane’s have been offering quality residential roofing to the entire Raleigh area, including Clayton, since 2005. While roofing is their specialty, they also offer siding, window, and painting services. Lane’s is a GAF Master Elite Certified contractor, which is GAF’s highest level of certification, so you know the products they offer and techniques they use are backed by the manufacturer.
Carolina Roofing & Vinyl Siding does exactly what they claim to do in their name, and then some. Based out of Clayton, they provide residential and commercial roofing, siding, gutter, and window services to the towns in and around the Raleigh area. They have CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster and GAF Master Elite status. Carolina Roofing & Vinyl Siding will try their best to ensure that your property is protected, and that your roof replacement process goes smoothly.
Now that you’ve learned about a few of the top options available in Clayton, what else can you do to verify that a company is local, and that they have a good reputation?
The next place you can look is to check these companies reviews against your contact’s experiences. The best place to read reviews is on Google’s page for the company, as this is the most common place for customers to leave reviews, and where most companies want their customers to leave them.
A good way to determine how a company will interact with its customers is to see how they respond to reviews, both positive and negative. If a company is responding in a prompt and meaningful way to former customers, that’s a good sign that they will be communicative and responsive for active clients.
You should always take online reviews with a grain of salt, though, as there’s no real verification that someone who left the review actually worked with the company, and, as with anything online, they can sometimes be over-exaggerated, or slightly untrue.
Most companies worth their salt will have lots of examples of their recent work in your area. Whoever you are working with should be able to provide addresses of homes close to you that they have completed, but they should also have a gallery of work on their websites, and social media pages.
The more work that you can see will help you learn more about what kinds of roofs the company works on, and the job that they did installing the roof, and cleaning up after themselves.
Working with a local company that’s been around a long time, and has a good reputation in your area is a great way to start your project on the right foot.
After reading this article, I hope you’re feeling more ready to start, or end, your search a local Clayton roofing company!
As we mentioned earlier, we are a local roofing company that works in and around Clayton. You may have noticed that we didn't include ourselves on this list, but that's not because we don't think we're one of the top roofing companies in the area!
We're confident in our work, and experience, but we understand that we aren't going to be the best fit for everyone, so we want to make sure that homeowners that don't choose us will be going for a quality company that won't take advantage of them, and help them through the process.

If you’ve recently experienced a storm, you should probably take some time to investigate your roof for signs of damage left by that storm.
