Types of Roof Replacement

The four main roofing systems Charlotte homeowners choose when it's time for a new roof. Each has trade-offs in price, lifespan, and appearance.

Asphalt shingle roof replacement in Charlotte

Asphalt Shingles

The most popular choice in the Charlotte area by a wide margin. Architectural (dimensional) shingles from GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed last 25-30 years and come in dozens of color options. A full replacement on a 2,000 sq ft home typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. If your current roof is asphalt, this is usually the fastest and most affordable way to go. Homeowners in Ballantyne and Matthews overwhelmingly pick this option.

Standing seam metal roof installation in Charlotte

Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs are showing up more across Charlotte, especially in neighborhoods like Myers Park and Dilworth where curb appeal matters. They last 40-70 years, shrug off hail, and reflect heat — which can lower your cooling bill in the Carolina summers. The catch is cost: expect $15,000 to $25,000 for a typical home. Worth the investment if you plan to stay put. Read our comparison of metal roofing vs asphalt shingles for more detail.

Tile roof installation in Charlotte, NC

Tile Roofing

Clay and concrete tile roofs are less common in Charlotte than in Florida or the Southwest, but they have a following — particularly in upscale communities like Weddington and Providence Plantation. A tile roof can last 50+ years and handles wind well. The downside is weight: your roof deck may need reinforcement, and the price tag ($20,000 to $40,000) reflects that. Also keep in mind that not every local roofer installs tile, so your contractor options are more limited.

Flat roof membrane system installation

Flat Roof Systems

TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems are the standard for flat or low-slope roofs on Charlotte homes and commercial buildings. These aren't glamorous, but they work. A flat roof replacement runs $5,000 to $12,000 depending on square footage and material. If your home has a flat section over a garage or addition, this is the route you'll take. Make sure your contractor has specific flat-roof experience — the install is completely different from shingles.

What Affects Roof Replacement Cost

Six factors that move your final price up or down. Understanding these helps you evaluate quotes and avoid surprises.

▢

Roof Size

Roofing is priced per square (100 sq ft). A bigger roof means more material and labor. Most Charlotte homes range from 15 to 30 squares.

▲

Pitch & Slope

Steeper roofs need more safety equipment and take longer to work on. A 12/12 pitch roof can cost 20-30% more than a low-slope roof.

⚙

Material Choice

Asphalt shingles are the most affordable. Metal costs roughly double. Tile can be triple. The material you pick has the biggest impact on total price.

☰

Tear-Off Layers

Removing one layer of old shingles is standard. If your roof has two or three layers stacked up, tear-off costs increase — and local code may require it.

▦

Decking Condition

Once the old shingles come off, your contractor checks the plywood underneath. Rotted or damaged decking boards need replacing before new roofing goes on — usually $50-$100 per sheet.

⚒

Permits & Labor

Mecklenburg County requires a permit for roof replacements. Labor rates in Charlotte run about $50-$75 per square for install, plus dump fees for the old material.

Roof Replacement FAQs

For a standard 2,000 sq ft home, an asphalt shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $15,000. Metal roofing doubles that range at $15,000 to $25,000. Tile roofs go higher still — $20,000 to $40,000. The biggest variables are your roof size, pitch, and whether the decking underneath needs work. Get at least three quotes to compare, and be wary of any bid that's dramatically lower than the others.
Most residential roof replacements in Charlotte take 1 to 3 days. A single-story ranch with one layer of old shingles can be done in a day. Two-story homes with steep pitches or multiple layers take longer. Weather is the wildcard — Charlotte's spring rain and summer storms can push the timeline. Your contractor should give you a clear schedule and keep you updated on delays.
The big ones: shingles curling or buckling across large areas, granules piling up in your gutters, daylight visible through the attic, sagging roof sections, and your roof being 20+ years old. A single leak or a few missing shingles usually means a repair will do. But when problems show up in multiple spots, replacement is the smarter long-term play. Schedule a professional inspection if you're on the fence.
Architectural asphalt shingles are the sweet spot for most Charlotte homeowners — affordable, durable, and they look good. Brands like GAF Timberline and Owens Corning Duration are popular choices. Metal roofing makes sense if you want a 50+ year roof and don't mind the upfront cost. Tile is a niche pick for high-end homes. For flat sections or additions, TPO or EPDM is the standard. Your contractor can walk you through options based on your budget and the look you want.
You'll typically get two warranties: a manufacturer warranty on the materials (25-50 years depending on the product) and a workmanship warranty from the contractor (usually 5-15 years). Manufacturer warranties from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed are only valid if the install is done by a certified contractor — which is one reason to pick a roofer with those certifications. Always get the warranty terms in writing before signing anything.
