Metal Roof NC installs Interlock aluminum roofs in Burlington and the rest of Alamance County as an authorized Interlock dealer. It also installs standing seam metal roofs and asphalt-shingle roofs. Interlock Roofing manufactures the aluminum panels.
How Bad Has Hail Been in Alamance County?
Bad enough to break shingles. In the storms of late April and early May 2016, the State Climate Office reports hailstones up to 2.5 inches in diameter in Alamance and Wake counties. Hail of that size cracks asphalt shingles and dents thin metal. May is North Carolina's peak hail month, with more than 2,500 confirmed May reports since 1955. If your roof was hit, have it inspected before the next storm season.
What About Ice Storms?
Burlington sits inside the area the December 2002 ice storm covered. The December 4-5, 2002 storm put a half inch to an inch of ice across the Piedmont from Albemarle to Asheboro to Durham to Warrenton, and nearly one million people in central North Carolina lost power. Most of the roof damage in storms like that comes from falling limbs, so trimming trees over the house belongs in the plan.
How Hot Is It?
Burlington lies between the Raleigh-Durham and Piedmont Triad weather stations, whose 1991-2020 NOAA normals put the July average high at 90.8°F and 88.5°F. Heat and humidity age asphalt shingles and feed algae on shaded slopes. Interlock's CRRC-rated Alunar colors let you compare solar reflectance before you choose.
Who Issues Roof Permits in Burlington?
The City of Burlington's Inspections & Permits office, working with the Planning Department, handles permits inside city limits. State law in G.S. 160D-1110 requires a building permit for single-family work costing more than $40,000. Burlington crosses into Guilford County in places, so confirm which office covers your address.
