R E Bengel Sheet Metal Co., Inc. | Roofing Services in New Bern, NC 28560

Our comprehensive roof inspection in New Bern is designed to identify common local issues. We carefully examine shingles or metal panels for storm damage, check all flashing and sealants around vents and chimneys, assess gutter systems for proper flow and debris buildup, and look for signs of moisture or algae growth. As a company with an in-house metal shop, we pay special attention to fabricated components like chimney caps. The goal is to give you a clear, honest assessment of your roof's condition and recommend only the repairs truly needed to protect your home.

Gutter overflow in New Bern is often caused by a combination of seasonal debris like pine needles and improper pitch or sizing. Our approach starts with a thorough cleaning and inspection. We then assess if the existing gutters are the correct size for your roof's water runoff area. If repairs are needed, our team—skilled in both roofing and sheet metal fabrication—can precisely adjust the gutter pitch, reseal seams, or replace damaged sections. For persistent issues, we may recommend a gutter guard system or a complete replacement with a system better suited to handle our local rainfall, ensuring water is directed safely away from your foundation.

Yes, those dark streaks or stains on roofs in our humid climate are typically a type of algae. While it can be unsightly, it often doesn't mean your shingles are failing. As part of our roof repair services, we can safely clean the affected areas. More importantly, we'll inspect the shingles underneath to ensure their integrity hasn't been compromised. If the algae growth is widespread or the shingles are damaged, we can discuss repair options or, during a re-roof, recommend algae-resistant shingle varieties that help prevent the problem from returning.
