Mabrey Roofing and Construction has completed 26 roofs in Burlington, Alamance County, spread across Rockwood Acres, Brookwood, Westview Terrace, Crestwood, Country Club Forest, and the Altamahaw and Pleasant Grove corridors. We do not stop at the city line. Gibsonville, Whitsett, Graham (including Saxapahaw), and Elon round out an Alamance-cluster total of 50 completed roofs, so a call from any of those towns reaches a crew that already knows the streets and the two permitting offices that split the county. Burlington was built as a textile town, and its housing still shows it, from the 1880s Glencoe Mill Village worker cottages to the mid-century ranches that filled in Rockwood Acres and Country Club Forest a generation later.

Gibsonville, Whitsett, Graham (including Saxapahaw), and Elon round out an Alamance-cluster total of 50 completed roofs, so a call from any of those towns reaches a crew that already knows the streets and the two permitting offices that split the county. Burlington was built as a textile town, and its housing still shows it, from the 1880s Glencoe Mill Village worker cottages to the mid-century ranches that filled in Rockwood Acres and Country Club Forest a generation later.
County run two different permitting offices, so we confirm the correct one, plus the right office for Gibsonville, Whitsett, Graham, and Elon addresses, before we pull a permit.
most recently Chantal in July 2025, and saturated ground loosens limbs onto roofs well after the rain stops.
other older mill-town cottages carry original decking and simple pyramid or gable rooflines that call for a profile match, not a stock tear-off.
Burlington's defining recent storm is not hail, it is water. Tropical Storm Chantal stalled over central North Carolina on July 6, 2025, and dropped a new daily rainfall record at the Burlington airport, 5.75 inches, breaking a mark that had stood since 2001. Parts of Alamance County took more than 10 inches, the Haw River crested at 32.50 feet, major flood stage and just short of the all-time record of 32.83 feet set after Hurricane Fran, and NCDOT closed a section of I-40/85 near Graham due to the flooding. A storm that saturates the ground and floods the Haw finds every weak flashing detail and clogged valley on a roof — after an event like Chantal, we photograph and log every slope, not just the ones that look obviously damaged.

Burlington's housing splits along its textile history. The Glencoe Mill Village, built between 1880 and 1882 along the Haw River, still has its small frame worker cottages, uniform in design and now a protected historic district. Around downtown, early-twentieth-century mill-worker housing carries the same low-slung, simple rooflines. Everything further out is newer: Rockwood Acres, Brookwood, Westview Terrace, and Country Club Forest are mid-to-late-twentieth-century subdivisions on a growing town, now at roughly 62,500 people, up more than eight and a half percent since the 2020 census. We work both eras, the century-old cottage roofline and the standard architectural-shingle tear-off, with the same documented inspection.
Roof permits inside Burlington city limits go through the City of Burlington Inspections Department, which works off the 2018 North Carolina Building Code and takes applications through the Burlington Smart online portal. Homes in unincorporated Alamance County permit through the Alamance County Inspections Department instead; the nearby satellite towns file through their own town or county offices. We confirm the right office for your address before we pull anything.

Inside Burlington city limits, the City of Burlington Inspections Department issues the permit through its Burlington Smart online portal. Homes in unincorporated Alamance County permit through the Alamance County Inspections Department instead, and the nearby satellite towns file through their own town or county offices.

Possibly, even if the damage is not obvious. Tropical Storm Chantal set a new daily rainfall record at the Burlington airport and pushed the Haw River to major flood stage. Wind-driven rain and saturated, limb-dropping ground can loosen shingles and flashing that look fine from the driveway. We inspect and photograph every slope so you know exactly what a storm like that did to your roof.
Yes. The worker cottages around Glencoe Mill Village and Burlington's other early mill-town housing carry simple, low-pitched original rooflines, and often original decking underneath. We inspect the deck before quoting and match the existing profile instead of dropping a generic tear-off on a historic structure.
