Get a written quoteSummer thunderstorms, not hurricanes, cause most of the roof damage here: straight-line wind, lightning strikes, and the occasional tornado embedded in a squall line. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings.
What it costs in Apex: a professional tarp install is a few hundred dollars and is nearly always reimbursable under a storm claim as mitigation — keep the receipt.
North Carolina requires a general contractor license for any residential job over $40,000, and most full roof replacements clear that line. We verify a roofer's NC license and insurance before they're matched to any lead.
