Lillington roofing for a county seat that grew by half in ten years
Lillington had 3,194 people in 2010 and 4,735 in 2020, a jump of 48 percent. That means a lot of new roofs and a lot of old ones side by side.
The Harnett County seat sits about 25 miles north of Fayetteville, and the Cape Fear River crosses the northern part of town. Fort Bragg is not far off, so VA and FHA appraisals come up here too.
Newer homes
A house built in the last decade is usually on its first roof. We look for the small installation problems that show up early: vent boots splitting in the sun, wall flashing that was never stepped properly, exposed nail heads, and shingles that never sealed down because they went on in cold weather. These are inexpensive to fix, and fixing them early keeps the deck dry.
Older homes
Closer to downtown, roofs are older and often have been repaired several times. We count layers, check the decking from the attic and look hard at chimney and valley flashing. Some of these roofs have years left after a few repairs; others are done, and we show you why with photos.
Selling or buying
Our roof inspection ends with a written report you can hand to an agent or a buyer, and the photos behind every line of it.

What Lillington homeowners ask us
My roof is under ten years old. Do I need an inspection?
If you have had a leak or a storm, or you are about to sell, yes. New roofs can have installation problems that show up early.
What is the most common leak on newer homes?
Cracked vent boots and wall flashing that was never stepped. Both are quick repairs.
Do you need to get into the attic?
We would like to. Stains, damp decking and weak ventilation are easiest to see from inside.
Can you match my shingles for a repair?
Usually close. Exact color matches are hard on older roofs because shingles fade; we show you a sample before we start.
Do newer roofs need any upkeep?
A little. Clear the gutters, watch the vent boots, and have the roof looked at after hail or a major wind event.
Is the written price itemized?
Yes. Tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and cleanup each get their own line.
