Questions and Answers
How does Highland Roofing protect Cary roofs from storm debris and moisture issues?
Our roofing system is built to handle Cary's specific climate. We use heavy-duty synthetic underlayment as a critical moisture barrier beneath the shingles, far superior to old tar paper. For storm resilience, we hand-nail every shingle for superior wind resistance compared to pneumatic guns. We also install durable drip edge and hidden valley metal liners to prevent water intrusion during heavy rains. Our thorough $295 roof tune-up is an excellent way to identify and address potential storm damage or moisture points before they become major problems.
What makes your 10-year warranty different from other roofers?
Our warranty is unique because it is fully transferable to a new homeowner and covers both our workmanship and the roofing materials for a full decade. This is a separate, additional guarantee on top of the manufacturer's warranty on the shingles themselves. It reflects our confidence in the entire system we install—from the hand-nailing and synthetic underlayment to the lead flashings and proper ventilation. We stand behind the complete roof, ensuring long-term peace of mind for Cary residents.
Why do you insist on hand-nailing and using lead for flashings?
We choose these methods for their proven durability and longevity. Hand-nailing allows for precise placement and proper seating of each shingle, creating a more secure attachment that better resists high winds common in our area. Lead is a malleable metal that forms a lasting, watertight seal around pipes and vents, expanding and contracting with temperature changes without cracking. Rubber gaskets can dry out and fail over time. These choices are part of our commitment to building a roof that lasts 30-40 years, not just meeting the minimum standard.
