How Much Hail Does the Triad See?

Enough to plan for. The State Climate Office reports May as North Carolina's peak hail month, with more than 2,500 confirmed May reports since 1955, about double April's count. On May 3, 2016, hail was reported widely across the Piedmont. The State Climate Office also notes that higher ground tends to see more hail because it sits closer to the cloud base and freezing level.

What About Winter?

Ice and snow both happen. In the December 4-5, 2002 storm, the Triad recorded 1 to 2 inches of snow while freezing rain glazed much of the Piedmont, and nearly one million people in central North Carolina lost power. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Piedmont Triad International, the airport between Greensboro and Winston-Salem, put the July average high at 88.5°F and annual precipitation at 43.95 inches.

What Does Winston-Salem's Housing Look Like?

Winston-Salem had 249,545 residents in the 2020 Census, about 55.6% of homes are owner-occupied, and the median owner-occupied home value is $233,800 (2020-2024), per Census QuickFacts. Older homes with steeper roofs suit a slate or shake profile. Interlock needs at least a 3/12 slope.

Who Issues Roof Permits in Winston-Salem?

The City's Inspections Division, part of Planning & Development Services, takes residential single-family building permit applications. State law in G.S. 160D-1110 requires a building permit for single-family work costing more than $40,000. If your house is in a local historic district, ask about design review before choosing a profile.

What About Low-Slope Sections?

Porches, additions and dormers on older Winston-Salem houses are sometimes too flat for a shingle-style metal roof. Interlock's shingle, slate, shake and tile profiles need at least a 3/12 slope, and standing seam metal roofing is the usual answer for flatter sections. The estimate should show which parts of the roof get which system and how the two meet.
