Randleman, NC

Randleman is one of our closest towns, about 9 miles north of downtown Asheboro. We take I-73 up and come into town on US 220 Business.

The first step in Randleman is always a free roof assessment. The owner gets up on the roof himself. If the shingles are dry but still in one piece, we do a quick tune-up and then spray on APEX-1132. That's a soy-based treatment made to restore asphalt shingles. If the roof is too far gone, you'll hear that too.

Want a number before anyone visits? Type your address into the instant roof estimate. It measures the roof from satellite data and shows a price range. You'll get a firm price once we've been up on the roof.

Randleman started with a grist mill. A cotton mill called Union Factory came in 1848. The town later took the name of mill owner John Banner Randleman, and it was incorporated in 1880. By 1890, according to the city, Randleman was the largest town in Randolph County. Randleman Hosiery, opened in 1889, was the first hosiery mill in the county.

That history still shows in the houses. Census Bureau estimates put about 3 in 10 Randleman homes before 1940. About a third have been built since 2000. That fits the growth: the city went from 3,557 people in 2000 to 4,595 in 2020.

That split matters on the roof:

• Older houses often have chimneys, porches and roof-to-wall joints where the flashing has been patched more than once. We reseal those during the tune-up. See flashing resealing.
• Newer houses from the 2000s and 2010s may still be on their first roof. If those shingles are drying out but still sound, that's the sweet spot for treatment.
• Either way, the year the house was built tells us little. The shingles tell us a lot.

Randleman Lake changed this end of the county. The reservoir on the Deep River covers about 3,007 acres and opened for public recreation on March 1, 2010. It reaches from just northwest of Randleman toward High Point, and it supplies drinking water to Greensboro and other cities.

If your lot is near the lake or the river, you may have tall hardwoods and pines over the house. Shade keeps a roof cooler, which slows sun damage. It also keeps the roof wet longer after a rain. Wet, shaded shingles grow algae and moss, and leaves pile up in the valleys.

Our treatment does not kill algae or moss. A roof with growth on it needs cleaning before the treatment can go on. We'll point that out during the assessment. Our page on black streaks explains where they come from.

A lot of Randleman's newer homes went up in the 2000s. Do the math on one of them. A house built in 2005 that still has its first roof has shingles about 20 years old. That's old enough to show wear. It may also still be sound enough to treat. Only a close look will tell you which.

The older side of town has its own landmarks. Two Randleman buildings are on the National Register: St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church South, listed in 2015, and the Randleman Graded School, listed in 2005. If your church has an asphalt shingle roof, our page on churches and small commercial buildings explains how we schedule around services.

Next door is Level Cross, home of Petty's Garage. The Richard Petty Museum sat in downtown Randleman from 2003 to 2014 before it moved back to Level Cross. Victory Junction, the camp Kyle and Pattie Petty founded in honor of Adam Petty, is out there too.

Not every house around Randleman sits in the trees. A home on an open lot takes full sun all day. The south and west faces of the roof take the worst of it, so they fade first and lose granules faster. During the assessment, we check each face of the roof on its own. One side can look much older than the other.

Close by, we also serve Asheboro, Archdale and Greensboro.
