Coastal Roof Upgrade for Recently Purchased Home in Oak Island, NC

After relocating to Oak Island from out of state, a homeowner moved into a new-to-them home just a few blocks from the coast. Within weeks, they noticed water stains on the ceiling following a series of summer storms—an early sign of roof failure. Unsure of who to trust in a new town, they reached out to Capitol Improvements after reviewing our certifications and local reputation.

‍

Our team installed a new roof for this home that had several issues common in older coastal homes: worn shingles, degraded flashing, minor moisture intrusion at eaves, and inadequate ventilation. We provide detailed photos  and offer our clients all options for their home. While we discuss the benefits of a full FORTIFIED™ roofing system, not every homeowner elects to do it. Maybe because they plan on moving in the near future or because of a tight budget. Our good option of a GAF warrantied roofing system is still better than many others roofers best. Not any roofer can offer these manufacturer backed warranties. A common sign of a fly by night roofer.

‍

What Was Installed:

• Reinforced 6” on-center nailing for wind uplift resistance for the GAF Unlimited Wind Warranty.
• Full roof deck protection with GAF underlayment
• High-performance architectural shingles rated for 25yr algae resistance
• Upgraded starter strips, drip edges, ridge vents, and flashing
• Proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture and extend shingle life

‍

Once the roof is completed, we register a Golden Pledge® Warranty, which includes:

• Lifetime coverage on material defects from GAF
• 25 years of workmanship protection, backed directly by the manufacturer, GAF.
• Unlimited wind coverage, ideal for Oak Island’s storm-prone climate

‍

Thinking About a FORTIFIED™ Roof?

While this homeowner opted for our premium GAF system (without full FORTIFIED™ certification), many coastal residents choose to go a step further. A full FORTIFIED™ roof system, recognized by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), includes:

• Sealed roof deck (taped sheathing to prevent water intrusion)
• Enhanced attachment of roof covering to deck
• Upgraded attic ventilation and edge protection
• Engineering-based upgrades designed to withstand hurricane-level wind and rain

If you’re interested in qualifying for insurance discounts, coastal resilience grants, or additional storm protection, we can walk you through the FORTIFIED™ options during your estimate.
