Archdale, NC

Archdale homes are well inside our range. From downtown Asheboro, we run north on I-73 and I-74, then come in on Cedar Square Road to Main Street. It's about 19 miles. Counting from our base south of Asheboro, it's closer to 26.

The owner does the free roof assessment in person. If your shingles qualify, the job includes a roof tune-up and the rejuvenation treatment. Most houses are done in hours. You can also check a price range ahead of time with our instant estimate.

Archdale started as a Quaker settlement called Bush Hill. It's named for John Archdale, a lord proprietor and an early Quaker governor of Carolina. The city was incorporated in July 1969. It had 11,907 people in the 2020 census, and it runs north out of Randolph County into Guilford.

Archdale doesn't have a traditional downtown. I-85 runs right through it, with exits 111 and 113, and I-74 runs just east. High Point sits to the north and Trinity to the southwest. Two old homes, the Moses Hammond House and the Harper House, are on the National Register. The Bush Hill Festival, started in 1986, celebrates the town's Quaker roots.

Census Bureau estimates show a city built in waves. About a quarter of its homes went up in the 1950s and 1960s. The 1980s and 1990s added more than a third. The median home dates to about 1986. Nearly 4 in 5 homes are owner-occupied, and most are single-family houses.

Say a 1962 brick house sits next to a 1994 two-story. Their roofs run on different clocks. One may be on its third roof, the other still on its first. That's why we size up each roof on its own terms.

If you sit on an HOA board or manage a townhome community here, treatment can be phased building by building. Our page for HOAs and townhome communities explains how that works.

Creekside Park is Archdale's big park, at around 100 acres. It has more than three miles of paved trail along Muddy Creek, and a free parkrun 5K every Saturday morning. A trail spur even runs through a tunnel under Main Street to the Archdale Public Library. The park also has a dog park, a disc golf course and lighted tennis courts. The trees along the creek are a big part of its charm.

Big trees near a house are a mixed bag for the roof:

• Hardwoods drop leaves and twigs into gutters and valleys.
• Wet debris holds moisture against the shingles.
• Shade on the north side invites algae, which our treatment does not kill.
• On the plus side, a shaded roof takes less sun, so it often ages slower than its neighbor across the street.

If your back yard runs up to a creek or a stand of trees, mention it when you call. Nearby, we also serve Randleman and Greensboro, plus High Point and Thomasville.

Storms don't stop at the county line. On March 28, 2010, an EF-3 tornado hit High Point, just north of Archdale. The National Weather Service counted more than 600 damaged structures and 40 homes destroyed.

A storm like that calls for a roofer and an insurance adjuster, not a treatment. Smaller storms do damage that's easier to miss. Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks the seal strips underneath. Once a tab is loose, the next strong wind can rip it free. The tune-up reseals lifted shingles before any treatment goes on. See loose and lifted shingle repair for how that works.

After any big storm, take a walk around the yard. Shingle pieces or whole tabs on the ground mean it's time to call your insurance company and a roofer. If the yard is clean but you're unsure, the free assessment will tell you where the roof stands.
