A New Roof Built for the Coastal Plain

A roof does not fail all at once. Shingles lose their granules, flashing loosens, small leaks stain the ceiling and then a storm finds the weak spot. Replacement makes sense when repairs are chasing problems across the whole roof, when shingles are curling or cracking, or when the deck underneath has started to soften.

Roofs in Maxton and the rest of Robeson County work hard. Summers are long, hot and humid, which bakes shingles and feeds dark algae streaks on the north slopes. Thunderstorms arrive with heavy rain and gusts, and the remnants of hurricanes have pushed wind and water across this part of the state before. A replacement should be planned for those conditions, not just for how the roof looks from the road.

Most houses in the region wear asphalt shingles, and the quality of the job depends as much on what goes under them as on the shingles themselves: sound decking, proper underlayment, correctly flashed valleys and penetrations, and enough ventilation to let the attic breathe.

Signs You Need a Roof Replacement, Not a Repair

Shingles that are curling, cupping, cracking or missing across multiple slopes
Granules collecting in gutters or bare, dark patches on the shingles
Water stains on ceilings that return after previous repairs
Daylight visible through the attic boards, or a sagging section of roof deck
A roof that is near the end of its expected life and has had several storm repairs already
Moss or algae growth that holds moisture against the shingles

How a Roof Replacement Works

Inspect and quoteWe look at the roof surface, flashing and attic, check for soft decking from the inside when we can, and explain what replacement will involve.
Protect and tear offLandscaping and siding are protected, then the old shingles and underlayment come off down to bare decking.
Repair the deckAny rotten or damaged sheathing is cut out and replaced. New roofing is only as sound as what it is nailed to.
Underlayment and flashingUnderlayment goes down, then drip edge, valley metal and flashing around chimneys, vents and walls, the places most leaks start.
Shingles, ventilation and cleanupShingles are nailed to spec, ridge and attic ventilation are completed, and the yard is swept for nails before we leave.

What Affects the Cost of a New Roof

Roof size and pitchMore squares of roof means more material and labor, and steep pitches take longer and need extra safety equipment.

Shingle choiceBasic three-tab, architectural and impact-resistant shingles are priced differently and carry different expected lifespans and wind ratings.

Deck conditionReplacing damaged sheathing adds cost, and we can only know how much once the old roof is off.

Layers and complexityExtra layers of old shingles, many valleys, dormers, skylights and chimneys all add detail work and flashing.

Why Martinez Construction for Your Roof

Roofing is one of the trades Jorge works in directly, alongside framing and drywall, so he looks at a roof as part of the whole structure. If the decking is soft or the rafters need attention, he can fix those on the same job instead of calling in someone else.

You get a written scope that tells you what is included: tear-off, deck repair allowance, underlayment, flashing and the shingle line. Ask us about any item you do not understand. A roof is a big purchase and the explanation should be clear.

Roof Replacement FAQs

How do I know if my roof needs replacing or just repair?

If the damage is limited to a small area and the rest of the roof is in good shape, repair is usually the better value. If shingles are failing across several slopes, if the roof is near the end of its life, or if leaks keep returning, replacement is the more reliable fix.

Can you put new shingles over the old ones?

Sometimes a second layer is allowed, but it hides deck damage, adds weight, and often shortens the life of the new roof. We prefer a full tear-off so we can inspect and repair the decking and start with a clean surface.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Many houses can be re-roofed in a few days if the weather cooperates. Rain delays happen, which is why tear-off is planned around the forecast. Larger or more complex roofs take longer, and we give you an estimate with the quote.

Do you handle hurricane-season roof damage?

Yes, storm damage is a common reason for replacement. We can assess what is repairable and what is not, and we can document the damage with photos you can share with your insurance company.

What is the dark streaking on my shingles?

Those streaks are usually algae, which thrives in humid climates like ours. It is mostly cosmetic at first, but if it is heavy it may be a sign the roof is aging. Some shingle lines include algae-resistant granules, which is worth considering for a replacement here.

Will my attic ventilation change?

A roof replacement is the best time to improve ventilation. We check the intake and exhaust, and add or correct vents where needed, because a hot, damp attic ages shingles and encourages mold.
