Mabrey Roofing and Construction was built on a simple idea: roofing should be documented, honest, and backed by a name that answers for the work. Fifteen-plus years of building and protecting homes across Durham, Raleigh, and the Triangle.

No phone tag. Tell us what is going on and we take it from there.
On approved credit. Estimate only, not an offer to lend.
Too many homeowners get a roof they never really saw. A salesperson points at the roof, quotes a number, and a subcontracted crew shows up.
Mabrey Roofing was built to be the opposite of that.
We photograph every inspection and hand you the evidence. We pull the right permit, fix the decking we find, and sweep every nail before we leave.
And we put it all behind a written workmanship warranty stated on every estimate.
Fifteen-plus years and 500-plus Triangle roofs later, that approach is still the whole company. Honest work, documented, backed by a warranty that means something.

Sean Mabrey came to roofing by a route few contractors share. U.S. Navy service supporting Marine Corps EOD teams.
Years as a cardio-thoracic ICU nurse at Duke and UNC, where documentation is not a habit but a discipline with lives riding on it.
A thirty-officer mortgage firm he built and ran. Then the trade he loves most: building and protecting Triangle homes.
He runs Mabrey Roofing and Construction as a licensed North Carolina general contractor, the same license he builds additions and outdoor structures under, and puts every job behind a written workmanship warranty. Sean still walks the tricky inspections himself, sets the standard every install is held to, and built the company on one rule he repeats on every site: do it right, photograph it, and stand behind it.
That standard is not a slogan. Every roof is photographed start to finish, and the evidence lands in your hands the same day, before you ever sign anything.
What we claim, you can verify.
Sean reviews the guides in our resources library, so the advice you read here answers to the person who runs the jobs, not a distant content team.
Every inspection comes with close-up photos in your hands the same day. You see what we see, and decisions get made on evidence, not pressure.
Every job runs under Sean's direct supervision, and the name on the estimate is the name that answers for the roof. No finger-pointing, no disappearing acts.
We tell you when a repair beats a replacement, even when the bigger job pays us more. Trust is worth more than one invoice.

A roof is only as good as the crew that installs it, and the accountability behind them. Every Mabrey job runs under Sean's direct supervision, and the company that signs your estimate is the company that answers for the roof when it is done.
The crew protects your landscaping before they start, tears off down to the deck so nothing is buried, replaces any rotten decking they find rather than roof over it, installs the full system the manufacturer specifies, and finishes with a magnetic sweep of the yard and driveway to pull every nail. You get one named point of contact from the first tarp to the final cleanup.
That accountability is how a written workmanship warranty actually means something instead of being a line on a contract. The company that put the roof on is the company that stands behind it.
Documentation is not paperwork we do for ourselves. It is how you stay in control of a five-figure decision.
Every inspection starts on the roof with a camera. We photograph each slope, the flashing, the valleys, and anything that is failing, and you get those photos the same day, not a verbal summary over the phone.
If there is storm damage, we mark and date it the way an adjuster expects to see it, so your claim rests on evidence rather than argument.
During the work, the crew photographs what gets uncovered, especially the decking, because that is where the surprises hide. If we find rot or soft wood after tear-off, you see a picture of it before we replace it, so there are no mystery line items at the end.
You see the standard on your own roof first: every photo from your inspection is yours to keep, whether you hire us or not.

Credentials are not decoration, so we only list what you can verify: a North Carolina general contractor license you can look up at the state board, and a service record that shaped how this company runs. Nothing on this site is claimed that Sean cannot back with paper.
