Jacksonville · Richlands · Onslow County
Carolina Trophy Roofs replaces and repairs roofs in Jacksonville and Onslow County. The three jobs on this page are in Jacksonville, Richlands and Beulaville, finished between October 2025 and June 2026.
Onslow County is coastal, and its storm file shows it: NOAA logged 93 roof-relevant events there since 2016, including 6 tornadoes, a 70-knot gust on April 13, 2020 and golf-ball hail on April 23, 2025. The full record is further down this page.
Three finished jobs in Onslow County and just north of it. Each card gives the town and the month of the finished-roof photos. No streets, no house numbers.
Started in late May 2026 and finished in mid-June. The photo is from the roof: gray-blend architectural shingles, a ridge vent under its cap along the peak and the plumbing vents coming through, with fields on every side.
Inspected in August 2025 and re-roofed in March 2026. The old roof had missing and damaged shingles; the new one is a gray architectural shingle over the whole house, photographed from the back yard.
Inspected in June 2025 and finished in early October. The photo runs along the new light gray slope: box vents, a turbine and a plumbing vent boot, each set into the new shingles.
We do not have a Jacksonville office. Our nearest office is at 1414 Forbes St in Greenville, about 59 miles away in a straight line; the main office is in Rocky Mount. Call (252) 302-2003 to set up an inspection; the line is answered 24/7.
Full re-roofs in architectural shingles, with ridge vents, box vents and pipe boots replaced along with the field shingles, as on the three jobs above.
Missing and damaged shingles, leaks at vents and flashing. For an active leak we tarp first and repair when the roof is safe to walk.
Flat and low-slope roofs, metal roofs and roof coatings for Jacksonville businesses, churches and property managers.
Onslow County is inside North Carolina's coastal area. Carolina Trophy Roofs is a FORTIFIED Certified Roofer, and a FORTIFIED roof is built to the IBHS standard for high wind.
A free storm inspection with photographs of every slope, the adjuster meeting on the roof, and the claim paperwork through to the final payment.
Storm record · Onslow County
What the public record says about roofs in Jacksonville and the rest of Onslow County
Between 2016 and 2026 NOAA logged 93 roof-relevant storm events in Onslow County: 68 thunderstorm wind, 19 hail and 6 tornadoes. The strongest straight-line gust on file is 70 kt, on Apr 13, 2020.
Tornado damage is different in kind from everything else in this record. It is narrow — a track a few hundred yards wide can take the roofs off one street and leave the next street untouched — and inside the track the failure is structural rather than cosmetic: decking lifted off the rafters, whole roof planes removed, debris driven through what is left. For the far larger number of homes that sit outside the track, the damage is the same physics as any severe-wind event: pressure at the edges lifting tabs along the eaves and rakes, ridge caps displaced, and impact marks from debris carried out of the track. Both are worth looking at after a tornado-producing system crosses the county, and the dated entries below say when those systems came through.

* 2026 is a partial year — the record runs to the most recent update of the source, not to the end of the year, so its bar is not comparable with the others. A year showing zero had no recorded hail, tornado or thunderstorm-wind event in this county.

FORTIFIED on the coast · Onslow County
Onslow County is in North Carolina’s CAMA coastal area — why the standard keeps coming up on roofs in Jacksonville
70 kt is the strongest gust NOAA holds for Onslow County, recorded on Apr 13, 2020. Wind accounts for 68 of the county's 93 roof-relevant events between 2016 and 2026, against 19 hail events and 6 tornadoes.
FORTIFIED requires a covering carrying the top wind ratings — ASTM D3161 Class F or ASTM D7158 Class H for asphalt — and then the two things underneath it that decide whether a gust costs a few tabs or a whole slope: ring-shank nails in an enhanced pattern holding the deck to the rafters, and a sealed deck beneath the covering. Vents have to be tested against wind-driven rain, which is the item most often quietly substituted out of a bid.
FORTIFIED is a voluntary resilience construction standard published by IBHS — a way of building a roof and documenting how it was built, not a warranty, a claims service, or a promise about any storm. Carolina Trophy Roofs is a FORTIFIED certified roofer: we build to the standard and photograph the concealed work. The evaluator has to be a separate party from the installing roofer, and IBHS issues the designation after reviewing what that evaluator submits.

Storm damage · Jacksonville, NC
Jacksonville's storms come off the coast: Onslow County's file holds thunderstorm wind, six tornado reports and golf-ball hail as recently as April 2025, and tropical systems add wind-driven rain on top. After a coastal storm the job is to stop water first and document the roof second.
The public record backs that up. Between 2016 and 2026, the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database logged 93 roof-relevant storm events in Onslow County: 19 hail, 68 thunderstorm-wind and 6 tornado reports. The largest hail in the file measured 1.75 in. (Golf Ball) on Apr 23, 2025. The strongest measured gust was 70 knots on Apr 13, 2020, in the unit the source records. One entry in the county file reads: “Apr 23, 2025 -- Hail (Golf Ball hail, 1.75 in)”.

Onslow County is inside the coastal area, where a separate windstorm policy and a named-storm deductible are common, so check which one applies before anything else. The North Carolina Department of Insurance says every homeowners policy in the state requires you to give prompt notice of a loss, make reasonable emergency repairs and keep the receipts, and that the insurer should acknowledge receipt of your claim within 30 days. Carolina Trophy Roofs documents the damage, meets the adjuster on your roof in Jacksonville, and handles the claim paperwork from the first photo to the final invoice. Read the step-by-step North Carolina roof insurance claims guide for deductibles, depreciation, deadlines and what to do if a claim is denied.
For deductibles, depreciation and deadlines in more detail, see the North Carolina roof insurance claims guide.
We inspect the whole roof, photograph what we find and tell you whether you have a claim, a repair or nothing to worry about. Call (252) 302-2003 or book online. Want a number before anyone visits? The instant estimate gives a price range for your roof in about a minute.
