Our Residential Roofing Services
Roof Replacement and Installation
We manage the entire replacement
process, starting with a structural assessment of your existing roof deck. Removing old materials properly matters just as much as installing new ones, since hidden damage can affect the final result. Our installation process follows manufacturer specifications for underlayment, flashing, and ventilation.
Asphalt and Architectural Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most
common residential roofing material due to their cost and availability. Architectural shingles offer a thicker, dimensional profile compared to standard three-tab shingles.
We install both options based on your budget and the look you want for your home.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs reflect solar heat more
effectively than asphalt, which can reduce cooling costs in warmer months. They
also hold up well against hail and heavy rain, both common in this region. Installation requires specific fastening techniques and expansion allowances that differ from shingle work.
Flat Roof Systems for Homes
Flat and low-slope roofs appear on additions, porches, and some modern home designs in Winston-Salem. These sections need different materials than sloped roofs because water does not drain as quickly. Flat roof systems typically need inspection more often than sloped roofs due to their higher exposure to standing water.
Roof Repair and Leak Detection
Leaks don't always show up where the
water enters your home. We trace leaks back to their source, which can be flashing, damaged shingles, or failed sealant around vents and chimneys. Our repair process starts with locating the entry point, not just patching visible damage. This step prevents the same leak from reappearing after a repair.
Roof Inspection
We inspect roofs for homeowners preparing to sell, buy, or simply maintain their property. An inspection covers shingle condition, flashing integrity, attic ventilation, and signs of water
intrusion. We document findings with photos so you have a clear record of the roof's condition. This is useful for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or planning future repairs.
Emergency Roof Repair
Storm damage, fallen branches, and sudden leaks require immediate attention to prevent further damage to your home's interior. We respond to emergency calls to assess and stabilize the affected area. Temporary measures like tarping exposed sections can prevent additional water damage while permanent repairs are scheduled.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
Winston-Salem experiences seasonal
thunderstorms, high winds, and occasional hail, all of which affect roofing materials differently. We inspect roofs after storms for granule loss, bruising from hail, and lifted shingle tabs. Wind damage often shows up as
missing shingles or exposed underlayment.
Roof Maintenance
Routine maintenance extends the life
of any roofing material and reduces the likelihood of unexpected repairs. We clean debris from valleys and gutters, check sealant around penetrations, and inspect flashing for early signs of wear. Consistent upkeep also helps maintain manufacturer warranty requirements on newer roofing systems.
Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Roof Replacement and Installation
We handle full roof replacements and new installations for commercial buildings of all sizes. Before any work begins, our team inspects the existing roof deck, insulation, and drainage to identify structural concerns.
We then recommend a system based on your building's use, budget, and local climate conditions.
TPO Thermoplastic Polyolefin Roofing Systems
TPO is a single-ply membrane we install on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. The material reflects sunlight, which can reduce cooling costs during warmer months. TPO sheets come in widths up to 12 feet, which means fewer seams across the roof surface. Fewer seams generally translate to a lower risk of leaks over time.
Modified Bitumen Roofing Systems
Modified bitumen is a reinforced asphalt roofing system built in layers for added strength. We apply it using one of three methods: torch-applied, self-adhered, or hot asphalt. Each application method has trade-offs in cost and installation speed, and we recommend an approach based on your building's layout and local conditions.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane
known for its flexibility and long service life. We install it in large sheets, which reduces the number of seams on the roof. The material holds up against UV radiation, ozone exposure, and temperature extremes without becoming brittle. EPDM is available in black or white, though black is more common and tends to cost less.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) Systems
BUR systems consist of alternating layers of asphalt and reinforcing fabric, topped with a protective layer of gravel or a mineral cap sheet. We build each layer on-site, which allows for a thickness tailored to your building's needs. This multi-layer design provides strong resistance to foot traffic and weathering
PVC Roofing Systems
PVC roofing is a single-ply membrane
we install for its resistance to chemicals, grease, and fire, making it a common choice for restaurants and industrial facilities. The material's hot-air-welded seams create a watertight bond stronger than the membrane itself.

Our Roofing Process
Step 1: Detailed Professional Roof Inspection
We'll start with a thorough roof inspection conducted by our certified roofing specialists. We carefully assess your roof’s condition, identifying damage from weather, aging, or structural issues that may impact your home’s safety. During this visit, we document all findings with photos and detailed notes to ensure complete transparency. This step typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on roof size and complexity. At this stage, we'll determine whether you need a full roof replacement or just targeted repairs.
Step 2: Insurance Claims Submission and Approval
If your roof damage is storm- or accident-related, we guide you through the insurance claim process from start to finish. Our team works directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure all necessary documentation, photos, and estimates are properly submitted for approval. We help you understand your coverage, deductible, and any out-of-pocket costs before work begins. This step can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on your insurance provider’s response time.
Step 3: Old Roof Removal & New Roof Installation
Our skilled installation crew begins by safely removing your old roof and inspecting the underlying decking for any hidden damage. We then install your new roofing system using industry-leading techniques and materials, which could take from a few days to weeks, depending on roof size, weather, and material type.
Step 4: Final Roof Inspection and Warranty Walk-Through
After installation, our project manager conducts a final inspection to verify that every detail meets Durham Elite Roofing’s quality standards. We review the completed work with you, explain your manufacturer and workmanship warranties, and answer any maintenance questions you may have. This ensures you’re fully satisfied and confident in your new roof’s performance.
How Much Does Residential Roof Replacement Cost?
A Winston Salem asphalt-shingle roof replacement commonly costs $4 to $7 per square foot of roof area. Roof size, material, slope, and the condition of the decking determine the final price.
Typical Residential Roofing Cost Range per Square Foot
For a 2,500-square-foot roof, the asphalt-shingle range works out to approximately $10,000 to $17,500 installed. Local estimates vary, so we use that range as a starting point and price each roof from its measurements and required work.
Roofing prices use the roof’s surface area, which differs from a home’s interior square footage. Contractors also measure roofing in squares: one square equals 100 square feet of roof area. A 2,500-square-foot roof contains 25 roofing squares.
Roofing Type | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles | $4.00 – $7.00 |
Architectural / Dimensional Shingles | $5.00 – $9.00 |
Premium Architectural Shingles | $7.00 – $11.00 |
Standing Seam Metal Roofing | $8.00 – $15.00 |
Metal Shingle Roofing | $7.00 – $12.00 |
Synthetic Slate / Composite Roofing | $9.00 – $15.00 |

What Our Customers Have to Say...
Residential and Commercial Roofing FAQs
We provide roof repair, full roof replacement, and new roof installation for both residential and commercial properties. Our team also handles gutter repair and installation, storm damage assessments, and routine roof maintenance.
A few missing shingles or a small leak usually points to a repair. Widespread damage, sagging areas, or a roof nearing the end of its expected lifespan typically signals that replacement makes more sense.
We look at the age of your roof, the extent of the damage, and how much water intrusion has occurred. Based on those factors, we give you a straightforward recommendation instead of pushing one option over the other.
Yes, we offer free roof inspections and estimates for homeowners in the Winston Salem area. Our team examines your roof's condition and documents any issues we find, including damage that may not be visible from the ground.
You'll receive a clear written estimate before any work begins. There's no obligation to move forward after the inspection.
We document roof damage with photos and a detailed report that you can submit to your insurance company. This
documentation helps support your claim and gives the adjuster a clear record of the damage.
We can also meet with your adjuster on-site if that's helpful for your claim process. We don't file the claim on
your behalf, but we make sure the damage is accurately recorded.
Repair costs depend on the extent of the damage, the materials involved, and how accessible the affected area is. A
small flashing repair costs far less than fixing storm damage that affects multiple sections of the roof.
We provide a written estimate after our inspection so you know the scope and cost before any work begins. We don't
charge for the initial assessment.
Most residential roof replacements take one to three days, depending on the size of the roof and the materials selected. Weather conditions and any underlying structural repairs can extend that timeline.
We give you a specific schedule before work begins so you know what to expect. Our crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
