Roofing Options for New Construction
When you’re building new, you have the freedom to choose the roofing materials that best fit your home’s design, your budget, and your long-term maintenance preferences. ABJ Roofing installs the most popular options for the Triangle area.
Take this opportunity to explore the range of roofing materials and options available for your new construction, including ABJ Roofing's extensive collection of roofing materials and styles designed to suit a variety of architectural preferences.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice for new homes in Wake Forest and throughout North Carolina. Installing a shingle roof is a reliable and widely trusted option, delivering an excellent balance of durability, aesthetics, and value.
CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles are our most requested options. These dimensional shingles create visual depth that enhances curb appeal and the overall appearance of your new home while providing excellent weather protection. Available in dozens of colors and styles, architectural shingles complement virtually any home design—from traditional colonials to modern farmhouses.
Advantages of asphalt shingles include a wide selection of colors and styles, proven durability in North Carolina’s climate, cost-effectiveness compared to other materials, fire resistance, easy maintenance and repair, and broad availability from quality manufacturers. Architectural asphalt shingles, in particular, provide a high-end, dimensional look with enhanced durability and longer warranties than traditional 3-tab shingles. Choosing CertainTeed shingles gives homeowners confidence in the durability and performance of their new roof. Additionally, there is a rising emphasis on storm-resistant materials, such as Class 4 impact-rated shingles, in response to extreme weather events.
Colored Metal Accent Roofs
Metal accent roofs have surged in popularity across Raleigh, Durham, and Wake Forest. These striking accents are typically installed over porches, entryways, dormers, or bay windows to add architectural interest and visual contrast. Metal roofing, known for its exceptional durability, can last 40-70 years, making it a preferred choice for homeowners seeking long-lasting and recyclable materials.
Metal roofing offers superior protection from the elements—a significant advantage given the occasional severe storms that move through our area. Available in various colors and profiles, metal accents can be matched to complement your primary shingle color while creating a distinctive, custom look. Cool roofing systems, which use reflective coatings or light-colored materials, can also reduce heat absorption and lower cooling costs, making them an energy-efficient option.
Metal roofing is exceptionally durable, often lasting 50+ years with minimal maintenance. While metal accents are our specialty, we can discuss full metal roofing options for homeowners interested in this premium material.
The Integrity Roof System for New Construction
Every new construction roof we install uses the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System—the same complete roofing system we install on replacements. This means your new home gets the same proven protection from day one, as the Integrity Roof System is specifically designed to protect your home from the elements.
The system includes WinterGuard waterproofing underlayment at eaves, valleys, and penetrations; RoofRunner water-resistant underlayment across the entire deck; proper starter shingles for wind resistance; high-quality CertainTeed shingles in your chosen color and style; hip and ridge cap shingles; and a balanced ventilation system to extend roof life and prevent moisture problems.
It’s important to note that CertainTeed does not have control over the independent contractors who install their products, as these contractors operate independently.
Starting with a complete, properly installed roofing system means fewer concerns and lower maintenance costs over your roof’s lifetime.

Choosing the right roofing products provides long-term benefits, such as durability, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About New Construction Roofing
When should roofing be scheduled during new construction?
Roofing typically occurs after framing is complete and the roof deck (plywood sheathing) is installed. The home needs to be dried in before interior work can proceed, so roofing is a critical-path activity. We coordinate with your builder to schedule installation at the appropriate construction phase.
How long does new construction roofing take?
Most new construction roofs can be installed in 1-3 days, depending on the home’s size and roof complexity. We’ll provide an estimated timeline based on your specific project and coordinate scheduling with your builder.
Can I choose any shingle color I want?
CertainTeed offers an extensive palette of colors and styles. If you’re building in an HOA community, you may need to select from approved options. Otherwise, the choice is yours. We’re happy to provide samples and help you visualize options on your home’s design.
Do you install skylights?
Yes. We install skylights including Velux brand products. Proper skylight installation requires careful attention to flashing and weatherproofing—our experienced crews know how to integrate skylights without creating future leak risks.
What warranty coverage do I get on a new construction roof?
New construction roofs receive our 5-year workmanship warranty on full installations, plus manufacturer warranties from CertainTeed covering materials. Specific warranty terms depend on the products selected. We’ll explain coverage options when discussing your project.
