A traditional visual inspection often misses sub-surface moisture trapped within the asphalt shingle layers or the OSB decking below. We use infrared thermography and drone photogrammetry to map thermal anomalies and subtle deformations invisible to the naked eye. This diagnostic technology identifies failing areas before they become active leaks, providing a complete picture of your roof's health.

The decision hinges on your energy goals and roof condition. Traditional architectural shingles are a proven, cost-effective solution for a failing system. With Duke Energy net metering and the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit active in 2026, integrated solar shingles can be viable if your roof structure is sound and you prioritize long-term energy production. For older homes like those in Navassa, a conventional reroof often precedes a separate, rack-mounted solar array.

Yes, a roof meeting the IBHS FORTIFIED Home standard can directly counteract the average 18% premium trend in Navassa. The NC Department of Insurance grant program provides credits for this upgrade, which insurers recognize as a major risk reduction. By demonstrating superior wind and water resistance, you shift from a high-risk to a lower-risk category, resulting in a measurable decrease in your annual bill.

Brunswick County Building Inspections enforces the 2018 NC Building Code, which mandates specific material applications. This includes a minimum 6-foot-wide strip of ice and water shield along eaves and in valleys, and step flashing integrated with the wall cladding. Hiring a contractor licensed by the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors ensures this work is permitted and inspected, protecting your home's compliance and insurability.

Improper ventilation on a 4/12 pitch roof is a common cause of attic mold. The 2018 NC Residential Code mandates a balanced system of intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge) vents to evacuate heat and moisture-laden air. Without this balance, condensation forms on the underside of the roof deck, creating an ideal environment for mold growth on the wood sheathing and compromising indoor air quality.

Navassa's 140-150 mph wind zone (Vult) under ASCE 7-22 requires a system approach: high-wind rated shingles, enhanced decking attachment with 8d ring-shank nails, and sealed roof edges. Installing Class 4 impact-rated shingles is a financial necessity for the June-November storm peak, as they resist hail damage that can create entry points for catastrophic water intrusion during subsequent high-wind events.

Your Navassa home, built around 2002, has a roof nearing the end of its typical 25-year lifespan for architectural asphalt shingles. The 7/16" OSB decking and shingles in the Navassa Town Center have endured 24 years of coastal UV exposure and moisture cycles, which degrade the asphalt's protective granules and underlying mat. This process accelerates once the shingles lose their reflective coating, leading to brittleness and increased susceptibility to wind uplift from storms.

For an active leak requiring emergency tarping, our crew is dispatched immediately. From the Navassa Community Park, we take I-140 directly into your neighborhood, with a standard travel time of 35 to 45 minutes for a secure arrival. The priority is to mitigate interior water damage by installing a waterproof barrier over the compromised section of the decking.
