Myrtle Grove roofer
Myrtle Grove roofing, priced before the call.
Myrtle Grove is the part of New Hanover County south of Wilmington along Carolina Beach Road, and most of it was built out between 2000 and 2008. That makes it a repair market as much as a replacement one: the first roofs on those subdivisions are now 18 to 25 years old, which is the age at which the honest question is whether to patch or to start over. A replacement you can price yourself: enter the address, watch the roof measured from satellite imagery, and see an itemized number in about a minute, locked for 30 days. A repair we look at first, then quote in writing — because the price of a repair depends on what is under the shingle, not on what the sky shows.
Roofs that are all the same age
A neighborhood built in a few years ages in a few years. Across the subdivisions off Carolina Beach Road and College Road, the original roofs are reaching the end of an asphalt shingle’s 20-to-25-year rating together, and the signs show up in the same order: granules in the gutters, exposed matting on the south and west slopes, lifted tabs after a windy week, and the first stain on a ceiling under a valley or a pipe boot. None of those means the roof is finished — a boot, a valley or a run of lifted tabs is a repair — but a roof that shows all four at once usually is. Either way the number is the same as everywhere else we work; what changes in Myrtle Grove is which number you are likely to need.
The wind speed is set by your address
New Hanover County’s building code sets two ultimate design wind speeds — 140 mph west of Highway 17 and 150 mph east of it — and the line is the highway, not the neighborhood. The figure for your roof follows the address, so we do not quote one speed for Myrtle Grove. What it decides is the wind class printed on the shingle bundle and how many nails each shingle takes, both of which are on the price we quote, not added later.
What the code asks of a shingle roof here
Under the 2018 North Carolina Residential Code an asphalt shingle roof in this county has to be tested to ASTM D7158 and carry the class for the address’s design wind speed; every strip shingle takes at least four fasteners, or the manufacturer’s number where that is higher; and on slopes between 2:12 and 4:12 the underlayment is doubled. For the shingles we install, the manufacturer’s high-wind instructions call for six nails per shingle rather than the code minimum of four.
What’s in the price
Every instant quote is itemized, and the number already includes tear-off of your existing shingle roof, disposal, synthetic underlayment, starter, ridge capping, pipe flashings (three included), and full cleanup. You pick the shingle: IKO Cambridge architectural at $352 per square, or IKO Dynasty at $357 per square. Full-roof ice and water shield is $70 per square if you want it; decking is the first 2 sheets included, then $45/sheet, photographed before we touch it, capped at $360 pre-authorized; seamless gutters price at $10.50/lf for 5-inch and $12.00/lf for 6-inch. An 18-square Dynasty roof with full ice & water prices at $7,686. For a typical Myrtle Grove roof of 30 squares, the same build — full ice and water shield included — comes to $12,660 with IKO Cambridge or $12,810 with IKO Dynasty; the per-square rates are the same $352 and $357 we charge everywhere, and there is no Myrtle Grove rate. Nothing is added after the fact; three things and only three things can adjust the number at your free inspection.

Questions Myrtle Grove homeowners ask
My roof is about twenty years old. Repair or replace?
It depends on what is under the shingle, which is why repairs are quoted after a free inspection and never from the sky. One failed boot or one lifted run on a roof that is otherwise tight is a repair. Granule loss and exposed matting across whole slopes is the roof telling you its rating is up; at that point a replacement quote — instant, itemized, locked for 30 days — is the honest comparison.
Can I get an instant price for a repair?
No — only for a replacement. The instant quote measures the whole roof; a repair price depends on the specific failure, so we look first and quote in writing. The inspection is free either way. More answers are on the FAQ.
