Roofing in Concord, from Victorian metal roofs to brand-new subdivisions
Concord is a city of more than 105,000 people with an old core and miles of new neighborhoods. Its roofs range accordingly.
Concord is the largest city in Cabarrus County. Replacements there follow the local permit office's rules rather than Mecklenburg's; we handle the application.
Concord counted 105,240 residents in 2020, making it the largest city on our list after Charlotte. Its historic streets near downtown hold Victorian and early-1900s homes, some with original standing-seam metal roofs or steep slopes that once wore slate. Its outer neighborhoods hold thousands of homes from the last three decades with architectural or three-tab shingles, many approaching replacement age.
For historic homes, we start by understanding what the roof was and what it should be. Some owners want to keep or restore a metal roof; others replace it with shingles where rules allow. If a home is in a designated historic area, there may be approval steps before a roofing change, and we sort that out before work begins. On newer homes, the usual issues are tired builder shingles, weak valley work, and pipe boots cracking in the sun.
Concord sits in Cabarrus County, so permits are handled locally rather than through Mecklenburg's LUESA. We confirm the requirements for each address and apply for the permit when the job needs one.

Services for Concord homes
Asked by Concord homeowners
Can you repair the metal roof on my old Concord house?
Yes. Older standing-seam roofs can often be repaired at seams and flashing; when they're past repair, we can replace them with new metal.
Do historic homes need special approval for a new roof?
Some do, depending on where they are and what's changing. We find out before the job is scheduled.
Who issues roofing permits in Concord?
The local office in Cabarrus County, not Mecklenburg. We confirm the requirements and apply.
Is my 1990s Concord roof due for replacement?
Likely close. We'll inspect it and tell you how much life is left.
