What we do
in New Bern

New Bern, Craven County. Roofing, roof repair, siding, gutters and storm damage work — and what each one involves here.

Roof replacement in New Bern

A roof this close to the water has to be built stronger, and the county sets that standard. In practice it means more nails in every shingle, closer nailing on the wood underneath, and stronger metal connections where the roof meets the walls. A crew that works inland all week and changes nothing when it comes east is building the wrong roof. Ask any contractor how their quote handles it. In the historic district there are also rules about what you are allowed to put back.

Roof repair in New Bern

New Bern has the oldest houses in the region, which means the most metal work: chimneys, dormers, valleys, and roof shapes nobody builds now. Very little of the repair work here is actually about shingles. On a historic house the right fix is often rebuilding the detail properly in the right material, not patching it.

Siding in New Bern

Salt air and driven rain are hard on siding, and harder on whatever is behind it. A water barrier that is present but badly lapped will let moisture sit, and you see that a few years later as rotten trim and failing boards under the roof edge. We replace panels where that is the fix, and re-side properly where it is not.

Gutters in New Bern

Two things matter here: the amount of water, and the wind. A coastal downpour needs a gutter sized to the roof and enough downspouts to keep up. And the brackets have to be chosen and spaced for wind, not just for the weight of water. When a gutter comes off in a blow, it is nearly always the fixings that failed.

Storm damage in New Bern

Florence in 2018 put more than ten feet of water into this city. Water that rises is a flood, and flood is a separate policy from your homeowners insurance. The wind that came with it is not. Plenty of New Bern roofs took wind damage in 2018 that nobody ever climbed up to look at, because the water was the emergency. If that is your house, it is worth someone looking now.

Signs of storm
damage in New Bern

Onshore wind is an every-year event here, not an unusual one.

Shingles missing along the edges and ridge: The wind gets under the edges first.
Shingles bent or lifted but still in place: Bent means cracked, and cracked means it leaks.
Gutters loose, sagging or gone: Usually the brackets rather than the gutter.
Dents in vents, flashing or gutters: Confirms hail, and it is easier to see on metal than on shingles.
Rot in trim or in the boards under the roof edge: Often a siding or water-barrier problem rather than a roof problem.
Nothing visible after a named storm: Very common. Wind damage from 2018 is still turning up on roofs nobody has checked.

New Bern questions

Straight
answers

Nothing hidden behind a dropdown. Nothing here is legal or insurance advice — your policy and your insurance company decide what is covered.

Is a New Bern roof really different from an inland one?

Yes, and the price should reflect it. The county requires stronger fastening near the coast — more nails per shingle, closer nailing on the wood underneath, and stronger connections at the walls. If a quote from somewhere further inland does not mention any of that, ask why before you sign.

My house is in the historic district. Can you work on it?

Yes, and it is slower, more careful work. There are limits on what you are allowed to put back, the roof shapes are complicated, and the metal work is real work. We will tell you at the inspection if what you want and what you are allowed are not the same thing.

My gutters came off in the last storm. Were they the wrong gutters?

More likely the wrong brackets, or the right brackets spaced too far apart. We look at how the old ones failed before we specify new ones.

Do I have to sign my claim over to you?

No. Some contractors ask you to sign a document that hands your claim and its payments to them. Read anything like that in full before you sign it, from us or from anyone. We do not ask for it.

Do you handle my insurance claim?

No, and after Florence that is worth saying plainly. In North Carolina only you, a licensed public adjuster, or an attorney can negotiate a claim, and a contractor doing the repair is not allowed to act as your adjuster. We document the damage and price the work. We also will not cover your deductible — the NC Department of Insurance warns that accepting a "free roof" offer can put you in the wrong too, and it is the most common knock on the door here after a storm.
