Why Wake Forest homeowners choose Baker as their roofing company
Baker Home Exteriors is a licensed North Carolina roofing contractor, and Wake Forest is a standing stop on our weekly route out of the Triangle branch in Apex. We handle full roof replacement, roof repair, free storm and hail inspections, and emergency tarping on every kind of Wake Forest home: the older houses around South White Street and the original Wake Forest College campus, the 2000s-era streets of Heritage on the southeast side, and the newer construction in Traditions up north. The town has roughly quadrupled in size since 2000, and we've watched whole subdivisions reach roof age together. When that first builder-grade roof on the street fails, we'd rather you hear about us from a neighbor than from a flyer.
After hail or wind moves through northern Wake County, out-of-town roofers tend to show up on doorsteps and disappear when the claims dry up. That is not us. Baker has been family-owned since 1915 and is now 100% employee-owned, which means the Baker team behind your project owns part of the company. We've completed more than 25,000 jobs in the last ten years, we hold a 4.9-star average across 2,000+ Google reviews, and we're a CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier contractor with a BBB A+ rating. We don't door-knock, and we'll tell you plainly if your roof has years left in it. Most companies sell you a roof. We'll tell you if you need one.
Every Wake Forest project runs the same way. One named project manager stays with you from the first inspection to the final walkthrough. We walk the roof, open the attic, and bring real samples so you can see and hold what goes on your house. During install you get photo updates straight from the roof, and before we leave we run a magnetic sweep so nails don't end up in tires or bare feet. Your quote is written and itemized, so you can see where every dollar goes. A lifetime warranty is available on qualifying shingle systems, 0% financing for 24 months is available with no deposit, and if you're holding another quote, we'll review any competitive offer line-by-line so you can compare apples to apples.

We install all the popular roofing materials in Wake Forest, North Carolina
- Asphalt Roofing
Heritage and the other 2000s-era Wake Forest neighborhoods are hitting roof age street by street. We replace builder-grade shingles with architectural systems rated for the storms that ride the US-1 corridor.
- Cedar Wood Roofing
Near the old college campus and South White Street, cedar shake fits houses that have stood for a century. We install it carefully, with the ventilation that keeps it sound in Carolina humidity.
- Slate Roofing
Slate belongs on Wake Forest's most detailed rooflines, steep pitches and all. We work in natural and synthetic slate and match the profile to the house, not the other way around.
- Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is a strong upgrade when a Traditions or Heritage roof comes due: it outlasts shingles by decades and stands up to summer wind without flinching.

Baker replaced our slate roof and they were absolutely excellent. Steven Bartz was professional and a pleasure to work with the entire process. From start to finish everything was flawless, and the final result is a truly beautiful roof.
- David George3 months ago
Exceptional job on window, siding and gutter replacement. Everything was literally measured twice and arrived the proper size. No surprises once work started, and the job site was kept clean with daily end-of-day sweeps.
- Anthony Gallo7 months ago
We were told by someone else that we needed an entirely new roof. Will gave us the honest news that we only had a few shingles and pipe boots to replace. His honesty and quick scheduling saved us so much stress (and money).
This week's roofing weather in Wake Forest, NC.
Last updated Jun 23, 12:03 PM
Issued by the National Weather Service. When it passes, we inspect roofs for free.
82° - Precipitation:
- 71%
- Humidity:
- 74%
- Wind:

Tuesday · Showers And Thunderstorms Likely
What this could mean for your roof
First things first: a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for the Wake Forest area until Tue 8:00 PM. When it passes, stay off the roof; we inspect for free.
Highs in Wake Forest climb through the week, from 87° today to 97° by Monday. Storm chances ride along four of the next seven days, peaking at 97% today.
The quiet stress in that picture is heat: five afternoons at 90° or better cook asphalt shingles and the attics under them, which is why our crews start tear-offs at first light. The day to watch is today: thunderstorms at 97% with gusts near 21 mph. Wind-driven rain finds weak flashing first, so a quick look after it passes beats a ceiling stain later.

Service AreasCommon roofing questions from Wake Forest, NC homeowners
Does Baker Home Exteriors handle roofing in Wake Forest? +
Yes. Our crews are in Wake Forest every week for roof replacement, roof repair, and free inspections, not just after storms. The branch behind them sits at 1051 Schieffelin Rd in Apex, about 40 minutes away, and covers Wake Forest and the towns around it.
What does a roof replacement cost in Wake Forest? +
There's no honest one-number answer. Size, pitch, how many layers come off, and the material going on all move the price. What we can give you is a written, itemized estimate at no cost and with no pressure, and 0% financing for 24 months with no deposit required if that helps. If you already have a quote in hand, we'll review any competitive offer line-by-line so you can compare apples to apples.
My Wake Forest neighborhood was built in the early 2000s. Is my roof due? +
Maybe, maybe not. Builder-grade shingles from that era often run 18 to 25 years here, so subdivisions like Heritage are hitting that window now. We walk the roof, open the attic, and tell you what we actually find. If a repair can buy your roof more years, we'll tell you that instead of selling you a replacement, because we'd rather prolong a roof than sell you one you don't need.
Can you reroof an older home near downtown Wake Forest? +
Yes. The blocks around South White Street and the old Wake Forest College campus carry steeper rooflines and more trim detail than newer parts of town. We bring real samples so the new roof matches the character of the house, and we install asphalt, standing-seam metal, slate, cedar shake, clay tile, and copper.
A storm just came through Wake Forest. What should I do? +
Call us for a free inspection before you sign anything with a door-knocker. We don't door-knock, and our HAAG-certified inspectors document wind and hail damage with photos you can hand straight to your insurance company. If your roof is open to the weather, we offer emergency tarping to stop the leak first.
