Tarboro · Pinetops · Macclesfield · Edgecombe County
Tarboro is about 15 miles from our Rocky Mount office in a straight line. The four roofs on this page are from Tarboro, Pinetops and Macclesfield, finished in April and May 2026.
Edgecombe County's storm file is short but heavy at the top end. NOAA logged 57 roof-relevant events there since 2016; six were tornadoes, including the EF3 of July 19, 2023, and the county's largest hail was a 2.50-inch stone on May 31, 2019.
Four insurance-claim re-roofs from the spring of 2026. Towns only; no streets, no house numbers.
Inspected in mid-March and re-roofed in late April 2026. Tall pines hang over most of this roof. The first photo is from tear-off day: the bare deck at the brick chimney, with the damaged edge along the brick exposed. The second shows the finished dark gray shingles running up past the dormers.
Inspected in December 2025 and re-roofed in April 2026. The house has four front dormers, a tall siding-clad chimney and a long covered porch; the new roof is a light gray architectural shingle.
Inspected in December 2025 and re-roofed in April 2026. Both photos are from the new ridge of this one-story home: the charcoal ridge caps with farmland beyond, and the brick chimney rising out of the new shingles.
Inspected in March 2026 and finished in early May. The photo is from the main ridge: the ridge vent under its cap shingles and the dormers below it, in dark architectural shingles.
We do not have a Tarboro office. Tarboro is served from 136 S. Business Ct in Rocky Mount, about 15 miles away in a straight line; our other office is at 1414 Forbes St in Greenville. The phone, (252) 302-2003, is answered 24/7 for active leaks.
Full re-roofs in architectural shingles, like the four jobs above: the deck exposed and checked at tear-off, damaged sections replaced, and the new roof finished at the ridge vent and chimney.
Leaks, missing shingles, worn pipe boots and failed flashing at chimneys and dormers. For a leak that is active now we tarp first, then repair once the roof is safe to walk.
After a tornado or hail storm in Edgecombe County, a free inspection photographs every slope and the metal around it, so you know whether you have a claim before you call your insurer.

Storm record · Edgecombe County
What the public record says about roofs in Tarboro and the rest of Edgecombe County
Between 2016 and 2026 NOAA logged 57 roof-relevant storm events in Edgecombe County: 41 thunderstorm wind, 10 hail and 6 tornadoes. The strongest straight-line gust on file is 50 kt, on Feb 24, 2016.
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.
The $785,500 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Edgecombe 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.
Event descriptions as recorded in the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database.
* 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.

Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, 2016-2026, Edgecombe County (U.S. Government work, public domain). Counts cover roof-relevant event types only — hail, tornado and thunderstorm wind. Records are county-level; NOAA does not log these events by street address.
Storm damage · Tarboro, NC
Tarboro's county file is shorter than Nash's or Wilson's but heavier at the top end: six of Edgecombe County's entries are tornadoes, the July 2023 EF3 among them, and its largest hail stone, in May 2019, was baseball-sized. Tarboro's historic district is full of older homes with steep roofs, chimneys and dormers, and every one of those joints is a place for wind-driven rain to get in after a storm has loosened the flashing around it.
The public record backs that up. Between 2016 and 2026, the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database logged 57 roof-relevant storm events in Edgecombe County: 10 hail, 41 thunderstorm-wind and 6 tornado reports. The largest hail in the file measured 2.50 in. (Baseball) on May 31, 2019. The strongest measured gust was 50 knots on Feb 24, 2016, in the unit the source records. One entry in the county file reads: “Jul 19, 2023 -- Tornado (EF3) -- $250K property damage reported”.

After a storm in Tarboro the first question may be whether a handful of damaged shingles justifies a claim at all; an inspection report with photographs answers that before you call your insurer.
