We did the Fortified Roof program. Nate took the time to go through all the details with me and explained each one. The crew was professional and polite and cleaned up the site very well. Thank you Harbor Roofing!

Nate was extremely professional and measured everything, to make sure the roof was perfect! Since then, he has cleaned our flat roof several times and is extremely quick in responding to our requests. Would highly recommend Nate Thompson and Harbor Roofing if a roof is needed.

Their crew worked fast and completed my large / steep roof in 2 days.   NCIUA insurance approved the work and sent the rebate check a few weeks later.

We were so impressed with their work, we had them do a metal roof on our barn in 2023. Our annual inspection shows everything is as it should be. We have our third project scheduled with Roger to put shingles on our “country house” and look forward to another successful installation. We appreciate your hard work and dedication!

I highly recommend Harbor Roofing. I would only use them for installation and any necessary repairs, such as hurricane or storm damage.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this business.  The job involved 4 townhouses to be re-roofed and two free standing garages.  Nate explained the shingle quality, hand nailing vs air nailing, vent replacement, plywood repairs etc.  The team was punctual and work a day and half.  A follow up was completed with a punch list.  Our neighborhood was amazed with the completion of the job and we are highly satisfied.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harbor Roofing and Siding was great to work with. We needed new siding and a new roof so it was nice to be able to work with just one company. Nate was very responsive and offered up some great ideas for our roof to fix our issues and give our house a great new look. Plus the cost for it all was less than than all the other quotes I received. We are very pleased with the work they did and love the new look of our house!

Commercial roof replacement vs. repair is a choice you should weight carefully. The roof is a big investment, so you’ll want to ensure that you are not replacing a roof which still has lots of life left in it. You also will have to think about whether you need to replace it with the same kind of roof or put in a new kind of roof system. However, one important factor in this choice is when to replace the roof. You need to replace the roof when …

The Roof Gets to the End of Its Lifespan

Each kind of roof differs in its lifespan, and you must be alert to how long your roof’s lifespan is meant to be. It’s possible to research roof life expectancies and discover the overall estimate for your commercial building’s type of roof.

Repair Prices Grow Higher Than Replacement Prices

Here is one rule for building systems you can use while considering roof repairs vs. replacement: When repair expenses are over 50 percent of the price of a new system, it is time to replace the system. That’s because the existing commercial roof system no longer performs within a cost-effective way. The roof materials might be worn down, with worn seams, blistering or splitting membranes. As more of those issues pile up, it’ll become more cost-effective to buy a new commercial roofing installation, rather than staying loyal to the present roof.

The Present Roof Doesn’t Fit into Future Building Plans

If you have any future plans for the commercial building which includes tenant improvement work or roof installations, you ought to have the roof inspected. If the roofing inspector or consultant discovers that the roof isn’t in a condition to deal with those extra installations, you ought to give consideration to a partial or full reroofing. Roofing jobs such as solar panel installation will help your building operate more efficiently, yet never should be installed on a failing roofing system. Have knowledge of your existing roof conditions and how better to prioritize these jobs for your current roof.
