Frequently asked questions

Should I file builder warranty or insurance for newer Cary roof issues?

If the home is under 10 years old (most Preston, MacGregor Downs subdivisions qualify), check builder warranty FIRST. Warranty covers workmanship defects at no cost; insurance covers consequential water damage but not warranty-eligible items. Files both if cause is unclear and let adjusters sort out responsibility allocation.

Are cedar shake roofs worth maintaining in Cary?

If you want the look. Cedar shake is more expensive to maintain ($300-$800/year) and replace ($15K-$30K full reroof) than asphalt, but adds curb appeal and can boost resale value in established Cary neighborhoods. Modern asphalt 'shake-style' shingles offer the look at half the cost — worth comparing during major reroof decisions.
