These guys are the best! Price was good and had the work done very quickly with great materials. Nothing was hidden from us. Everything was explained thoroughly and we could call Tim Ilderton at anytime. Highly recommended!

My 10 uear old roof just started leaking. I called 8 companies and everyone have me the run around. I finally called Carolina home specialists and the lady that answered the phone was very helpful and informative. They advised me of a $79 service call, so at first I was very apprehensive, but agree to it. So the next day a gentleman by the name of Brad came out and diagnosed the issues and had it resolved with in 2 days. I highly recommend this company!

I spoke with Christi to set up an appointment to get an estimate to replace the siding on our house and 10 windows. She asked about my wife and wanted all of her personal information which I felt was very inappropriate. I explained to her that I do home renovations for a living and she's not involved in the decision making of my personal business and would not want to be involved. She has her own business. Christi then explained to me that she needed to really reach out to the project manager and the owner to see if that would be allowed. I asked her why would it not be allowed for me to make a decision on my own business on whether to get siding or windows for my rental property. She explained to me that it's a very big decision and I really needed my wife there. This is the same kind of sales pitch I get from timeshare companies and would expect better from a local siding and window company. I don't think Christi or this company has any right to state whether I need to have my wife there to help me make decisions about my company which she is not involved. My wife has her own business and she said that she can't imagine someone telling her that her husband would have to be there to help her make the decision. That is downright offensive and the only thing that makes sense for why they would insist the wife being there is some sort of high pressure timeshare sales pitch. Be warned.

I had been putting off repairing my flat roof for a long time, thinking that it would be too expensive and complicated. The professionals at Carolina Home Specialists made it beyond easy! They assisted me with financing and were accommodating to scheduling the services when it was convenient for my family. The workers were prompt and courteous. I was impressed with how quickly Brad and his team completed the job. I feel blessed to have had this team hold my hand through what I thought would be too much for me to handle. They made it possible to get this off my TO DO list! I would highly recommend Carolina Home Specialists to anyone that is feeling hesitant to tackling their home improvement project!

Questions & Answers

How Can I Find the Exact Location of a Leak?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

When dealing with leaks it is important to keep in mind that water wants to find the path of least resistance to travel, which means that your leak could present itself in parts of your house that aren't close to the actual leak. One solution is to go into your attic or crawl space with a flashlight the next time it rains and try to trace the leak. Visible signs, such as pooling water or damaged drywall/building materials should be present. However, this isn't always effective due to walls or other physical obstructions blocking your view. The most accurate way to track the leak is to have a professional come out and access the leak.

What Causes a Roof to Wear Out?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

Most damage that a roof will take on is the direct force of nature. Severe weather, including typhoons, haboobs, hailstorms, snowstorms, and tornados contribute to the degradation of a roof. Algae and mildew, as well as sunlight, can also be a source of roof damage.

Can my roof be repaired or does it need to be replaced?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

One of the big questions to ask is the age of the roof. If a roof is older than 15 years it may be time to contact a local contractor to inspect your roof and give their recommendation on how to proceed. Generally speaking cracked, broken and curled shingles can be replaced individually and are often the cause of issues like leaks. Roofs with widespread issues are more likely to need replacing, as the whole roof system may be compromised.

Will a new roof lower my energy bills?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

If your roof is old and underperforming, roof replacement can help lower energy bills. Ideally, an attic should remain close to the outside temperature, but overheating in this space during the summer is a sign of inadequate ventilation. This inadequate ventilation can cause an HVAC system to work much harder than necessary. A new roof helps ensure that your HVAC system can work properly and keep stress off the system causing more power to be consumed.

Should I replace the shingles or the entire roofing system?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

Your roofing system is comprised of several layers, all performing a different function. Generally speaking, replacing the entire system is the best route for improving the roof’s performance. The different layers of a roof can include leak barrier protection, sythetic roof deck protection, starter strip shingles, lifetime shingles, and ventilation.

Can I replace my roof myself?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

In short no. There are projects which can be completed with a DIY mentality, however, due to the dangers of working on ones' roof, completing a roof replacement yourself isn't something that should be attempted. Not only do thousands of Americans die annually from falling from roofs, but you could be violating your roof's current warranty which could wind up costing you down the line.

What is the best time to replace a roof?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

Weather typically plays the largest factor in timing when to get your roof replaced. While contractors work year-round, factors like snow, rain, ice, and sleet can impact how quickly roofers can safely and effectively get their roof finished.

How much does a new roof cost?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

There is no straightforward answer because every roof is different. Roofing contractors consider a few factors when pricing out new roof installations: size, old roof removal, style, shape, materials, and labor. In addition to these factors, your roof could include other features like chimneys, skylights, and vents that need to be factored into the cost. Contact a licensed roofer near you to get an accurate quote.

How often does a roof need to be replaced?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

The longevity of your roof will depend on its materials, its installation, and its ventilation. Weather conditions may also impact the life of your roof. A well-constructed roof can last between 12-15 years. Depending on the quality and type of shingles you chose and the underlayment of your roof, that number can go up to 30 or more years.

How do I know if I need a new roof?

Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022
Carolina Home Specialists | Jul 7, 2022

When assessing whether or not to replace your roof the first question that should be asked is "How old is my roof?". Most roofs will last around 15 years but signs that it is time to replace your roof could include: holes in your roof, missing or damaged shingles, or leaks.

It really depends on the color you picked. Some colors are glossy and some are matte
