Roofing services for coastal North Carolina communities

Reliable roofing for Holly Ridge, Emerald Isle, Hubert, and beyond.

We know that living on the coast isn't just limited to the big city limits of Jacksonville or New Bern. Many of our neighbors live in the smaller communities that dot the coastline and the intracoastal waterway. Whether you are in Hubert, Holly Ridge, Emerald Isle, or Surf City, you face the same harsh weather challenges as the larger towns. Smith Roofing and Restoration is dedicated to serving the entire coastal region. We are happy to travel to your home to provide the high standard of roofing and restoration work that has built our reputation in Onslow and Carteret counties.

Our team understands that homes in these areas often face higher wind exposure and more intense salt spray than homes further inland. We bring five years of experience and a background in major construction to every project. We do not charge extra travel fees just because you live a few miles down Highway 17 or 24. We are your local roofers and we are here to help keep your home safe and dry.

Roof replacements

When you live near the ocean, your roof ages faster. Sun, salt, and humidity break down asphalt and rust standard nails. When it is time to replace your roof, you need a contractor who uses the right materials for this environment. We specialize in installing full roofing systems designed for coastal longevity.

We strip the old roof entirely to inspect the decking. We often find hidden rot in coastal homes due to the high moisture levels. We replace any damaged wood to ensure a solid nailing surface. We install high wind rated architectural shingles or corrosion resistant metal roofing, along with synthetic underlayment that seals out driving rain. We build roofs that give you peace of mind during hurricane season.

Roof repairs

If you see a water spot on your ceiling or find shingles in your yard after a storm, do not ignore it. Water travels quickly and can cause expensive damage to your insulation and drywall. We offer prompt, honest roof repair services throughout our service area.

We are experts at finding leaks. We inspect the most common failure points on coastal homes, such as rusted flashing, cracked pipe boots, and wind lifted shingles. We provide a clear assessment of the damage and a straightforward price to fix it. If a repair is all you need to get a few more years out of your roof, that is what we will recommend.

Storm damage restoration

Living on the coast means dealing with tropical storms and hurricanes. When a storm hits, the damage can be overwhelming. We offer comprehensive storm damage restoration to help you pick up the pieces. We handle everything from the initial emergency response to the final cleanup.

We provide emergency tarping to secure your roof and prevent further water intrusion. Then we perform a detailed inspection to document all storm related damage. We look for the specific evidence of wind and hail that insurance adjusters require. We ensure that every damaged component of your home's exterior is identified and included in the restoration plan.

Insurance claim assistance

Filing an insurance claim can be a confusing process. We have extensive experience helping homeowners navigate claims for wind and hail damage. We know the local building codes and we understand insurance policy language.

We meet your adjuster at your property to ensure they see the full extent of the damage. We walk the roof with them and advocate for you. We review their estimate to ensure it covers all necessary repairs and quality materials. We handle the technical details and paperwork so you can focus on getting your home back to normal.
