    Roofer & Roofing Company in Rocky Mount, NC

    Rocky Mount is where Carolina Trophy Roofs is based: our office and showroom are at 136 S. Business Ct. The six jobs on this page are Rocky Mount and Nashville roofs our own crews worked in the last eighteen months, from a hail inspection with every dent chalked for the adjuster to tear-offs down to the deck and a church steeple in Nashville.

    Most Rocky Mount calls start with a leak or a storm. Nash County's NOAA storm file holds two EF3 tornadoes, on July 19, 2023 and September 27, 2024, and Edgecombe County's largest hail on file is a 2.50-inch stone from May 31, 2019. Both counties' records are further down this page.

    This page is about the work on Rocky Mount roofs. For the company itself, start at our Rocky Mount roofing contractor home page.

    Down to the deck, then light gray shingles

    Inspected in December 2025 and re-roofed in February 2026. The tear-off took the roof down to the plywood deck (first photo, with the paint marks the crew left on it). Light gray architectural shingles went on over it, with cap shingles along every hip and along the ridge.

    Inspected in August 2025 and re-roofed by mid-September. The photos show the finished hip roof in gray architectural shingles, a new boot on the plumbing vent, and black step flashing stepping up the side of the brick chimney where the roof meets it.

    Every hail dent chalked for the adjuster

    A storm inspection in June 2025. This house has a metal roof section as well as shingles. On the metal, each hail dent was outlined in chalk so it shows in the photographs; the first photo is what the adjuster sees. On the shingle roof, the inspection photographed the old ridge vent, weathered along its length (second photo).

    Inspected at the end of February and re-roofed in early April 2026. With the old roof off, the crew laid new OSB sheathing across the slopes before the underlayment and shingles went on. The photo was taken as the last sheets went down.

    A church steeple in Nashville

    First inspected in April 2026, with the crew back on the steeple in July and August. The steeple rises from a brick tower over the church entrance. Inside, it is a steel frame clad in metal panels (second photo), the part of a steeple nobody sees from the parking lot.

    Roof repair and replacement in Rocky Mount

    Roof repair

    Leaks, lifted or missing shingles, worn ridge vents, cracked pipe boots and loose flashing at chimneys and walls. A ceiling stain is rarely right under the hole in the roof, so a repair starts with tracing where the water actually gets in.

    Roof replacement

    Full tear-offs down to the deck, with damaged sheathing replaced before anything goes on top, as on the Rocky Mount and Nashville jobs above. Shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Atlas and IKO.

    Hail and storm inspections

    Free storm inspections: every slope walked, the metal (vents, flashing, gutters, metal roof sections) checked for dents, and everything photographed, like the chalked dents above.

    Insurance claims

    We document the roof, meet your adjuster on it and handle the paperwork through to the depreciation release, whether the claim is a few hail hits or a tornado.

    Metal roofing

    Metal roof installation, and repair of dented or leaking metal roof sections on Rocky Mount homes and buildings.

    Churches and commercial buildings

    Steeple repair like the Nashville job above, plus flat and low-slope commercial roofs and roof coatings for Rocky Mount businesses and congregations.

    Events flagged significant in the source data

    Across 2016 to 2026 NOAA logged 117 roof-relevant storm events in Nash County and $302,254,750 in reported property damage — a total that only a handful of severe events can produce. 23 of the county's events are flagged significant in the source data. The split behind the total is 87 thunderstorm wind, 25 hail and 5 tornadoes.

    A county-level damage figure is not a guide to what happened at any single address. It is the sum of everything reported across every community in the county, and most of it belongs to a small number of dates. What it does tell a homeowner here is that Nash County has been through storms severe enough to change roofs street by street, and that any roof installed before those dates has been tested by them. The dated entries below are the ones the source singles out.

    The $302,254,750 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Nash County from these storms, 2016–2026 — a county-wide reporting total. It is not the cost of a roof, and it is not an amount paid to any property owner.

    Individual events in the Nash County file

    • Sep 27, 2024 -- Tornado (EF3) -- $1.20M property damage reported
    • Jul 19, 2023 -- Tornado (EF3) -- $300.00M property damage reported

    Storm damage · Rocky Mount, NC

    Storm damage in Rocky Mount

    Rocky Mount is home: our main office at 136 S. Business Court is in Nash County, and the county's storm record is the one we know best. It is a major-event record — two EF3 tornadoes in 2023 and 2024, alongside a steady background of hail and thunderstorm wind. After a tornado or a straight-line wind event the roofs that are obviously destroyed get attention first; the roofs three streets away that lost a few tabs and had their ridge vents lifted are the ones that leak next winter. A free storm inspection is how we find the second group.

    The public record backs that up. Between 2016 and 2026, the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database logged 117 roof-relevant storm events in Nash County: 25 hail, 87 thunderstorm-wind and 5 tornado reports. The largest hail in the file measured 1.75 in. (Golf Ball) on Apr 7, 2022. The strongest measured gust was 50 knots on Jun 22, 2016, in the unit the source records. One entry in the county file reads: “Sep 27, 2024 -- Tornado (EF3) -- $1.20M property damage reported”.

    Insurance claims in Rocky Mount

    Nash County homeowners have been through two large-loss events recently, and the same rules apply to a small hail claim as to a tornado claim. 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 Rocky Mount, 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.

    Rocky Mount roof questions we get

    Can I see shingle samples before I choose?
    Yes. Our office at 136 S. Business Ct in Rocky Mount has shingle sample displays in the showroom. Call (252) 302-2003 before you come by so someone is there to go through them with you.
    Do you repair roofs, or only replace them?
    Both. A leak at a pipe boot, a handful of missing shingles or a worn ridge vent is a repair. When the shingles are failing across the whole roof, or storm damage runs across several slopes, replacement is the better spend. The inspection tells you which, with photographs.
    Do you cover Nashville and the rest of Nash and Edgecombe County?
    Yes. Nashville is about 11 miles west of our office in a straight line, and the towns listed further down this page (Battleboro, Dortches, Red Oak, Sharpsburg, Spring Hope, Whitakers and others) are served from the same office. Tarboro, on the Edgecombe side, has its own page.
    Hail dented my gutters and vents. Is my roof damaged too?
    Not necessarily, but it needs a look. Soft metal dents more easily than shingles, so dents in gutters, vents and metal roof sections tell you hail fell there. Whether the shingles were bruised is a separate question that only a close inspection of each slope answers.
    My insurer paid part of the claim. When does the rest come?
    On a replacement-cost policy the insurer usually pays the actual cash value first and holds back what the NC Department of Insurance calls recoverable depreciation until the work is done. After the roof is finished the final invoice goes to the insurer and the held-back amount is released. We handle that paperwork.
    Do you work on church roofs and steeples?
    Yes. The Nashville steeple on this page is one of ours, and our church steeple repair page describes the inspection and repair work in detail.
    Is financing available?
    Yes, through our financing partner's own application portal, dealer number 391677. The lender decides on approval, not us.

    For deductibles, depreciation and deadlines in more detail, see the North Carolina roof insurance claims guide.
