About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, black, adhesive substance used to seal small cracks, patch around chimneys, or secure flashing. It acts as a quick, temporary fix for active leaks or as a sealant for vulnerable joints. While it is useful for minor maintenance, it is not a long-term solution for large-scale damage. If you find yourself using tar frequently in the same spots, it is usually a sign that your roof system needs a more permanent repair or professional inspection.

The warmth helps the adhesive strips on new shingles activate quickly, providing an immediate bond. We prioritize crew safety and hydration during hot afternoons to maintain high-quality workmanship from start to finish. Licensed, insured pros serve your area — call now for a free estimate.

Frequently asked in Raleigh

What are the benefits of rolled roofing for properties in Raleigh?

Rolled roofing, often used for low-slope applications, can be a cost-effective option for certain structures in Raleigh, such as sheds or additions. However, for primary residential roofs with steeper pitches, it typically offers less durability and longevity compared to asphalt shingles or metal roofing. The pros will assess your roof's slope and design to determine if rolled roofing is appropriate or if a more robust material is needed to withstand Raleigh's climate.

When is an asphalt shingle roof the right choice for a Raleigh home?

An asphalt shingle roof is a common and often cost-effective choice for many Raleigh homes, offering a traditional aesthetic and decent performance. However, given Raleigh's humid climate with potential for heavy rains and high winds, metal roofing systems are increasingly favored for their superior longevity, wind resistance, and ability to shed water efficiently. The pros can help you compare the lifespan, maintenance, and performance benefits of asphalt shingles versus metal for your specific needs.

What are the different types of roof shingles available for Raleigh homes?

The pros will discuss various materials, including their durability, cost, and aesthetic appeal, to help you choose the best option for your home's specific needs and Raleigh's climate.

How does roof insulation affect energy efficiency in Raleigh homes?

Proper roof insulation is crucial for energy efficiency in Raleigh homes, helping to keep cool air in during the hot, humid summers and warm air in during the milder winters. Adequate insulation minimizes heat transfer, reducing the workload on your HVAC system and lowering energy bills. The pros can assess your current insulation levels and recommend the most effective solutions to enhance your home's thermal performance.

What are the most durable roofing materials for Raleigh's climate?

For Raleigh's climate, metal roofing materials, such as standing seam steel or aluminum, offer exceptional durability and longevity due to their resistance to moisture, high winds, and UV exposure. While architectural asphalt shingles provide good performance, metal roofs generally offer superior protection and a longer service life against the region's humidity and potential for severe weather. The pros will guide you in selecting the most resilient material for your home.
