Chapel Hill draws part-time owners: golf-community homes, campus rentals, houses inherited or held from out of state.
Get Your Free Estimate in 60 Seconds.
No phone tag. Tell us what is going on and we take it from there.
What kind of property is it?
On approved credit. Estimate only, not an offer to lend.
The same way you would if you were standing on the lawn: photos. Chapel Hill draws owners who aren't always on-site when the ladder goes up — a golf-community second home, a property managed from out of town, a rental near campus — and for every one of them, a phone call is not proof of work.

Mabrey Roofing has completed 7 documented repair calls across Chapel Hill since 2022, and every one opened with a photographed inspection of the whole roof before a single shingle was touched, so what you see afterward is the same record we would have shown you in person.
Water travels. We trace the leak back to where it actually starts instead of patching where it shows up inside.
You see close-up photos of the damage the same day, so the repair is something you understand, not something you take on faith.
We make the repair with matched materials and proper sealing, then re-check the surrounding area for anything else starting to fail.
- Leak diagnosis that finds the actual source, not just the wet spot
- Shingle replacement matched to your existing roof as closely as possible
- Flashing repair and resealing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
- Valley and pipe-boot repairs where most leaks actually start
- Close-up photo documentation of the problem and the finished repair
- An honest call on whether repair or replacement is the smarter spend
Signs to Watch For. Caught Early, Fixed for Less.
If any of these sound familiar, book a free documented inspection — slope-by-slope photos, a straight answer on how much life the roof has left, and one fixed price if it is time. If a repair is the smarter spend, that is what we will tell you.

Governors Club sits under the same hardwood canopy that shapes how every Chapel Hill-area roof ages. A roof repair there closed on January 27, 2022 — one of 7 in Mabrey's Chapel Hill repair count — and, as with each of those, it opened with a documented, photographed inspection before any work began.

Exterior work inside Chapel Hill's local historic districts often has to clear a Certificate of Appropriateness first for a full replacement; a repair almost never triggers that requirement, which is one more reason a repair call here tends to move faster than a replacement one.
12 more completed roofs sit just next door in Carrboro, part of the same book and the same documented-photo habit, for owners who split time between the two towns.
Barrington Hills, The Oaks, Briarcliff, and Stoneybrook — the neighborhoods leading Mabrey's Chapel Hill book are established, settled communities, exactly where a second-home or inherited-property owner is likeliest to need a repair handled without being asked to fly in for it.
A repair here gets the same photographed record a replacement would, sent the same way — because 'I wasn't home when it happened' should never mean 'I don't know what happened.'
Cannot find your answer? A real person is one call away, no pressure.
- A real person answers. No phone tree, no pressure to commit.
- Free documented inspection: photos and a written report before any quote.
- Straight answers on cost, insurance, and financing, even when the answer is a repair, not a replacement.
Photos, not just a phone call. We document every slope before and after the work, so what you see afterward is the same record you would have gotten standing in the yard.
Yes. We handle plenty of Chapel Hill properties where the owner isn't the one meeting the crew — a tenant near campus, a manager for a rental, a neighbor holding a key for a part-time owner. The documented record still goes to you.
No. A full replacement inside one of the local historic districts often clears a Certificate of Appropriateness first, since that district review has to happen before scheduling. A repair almost never triggers that step, which is one reason a repair call here tends to move faster than a replacement one.
