High Point is known around the world for one thing — furniture — and twice a year the International Furniture Market brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to a city that otherwise goes about its business quietly. But behind the showrooms is a full-sized North Carolina city with a century of housing, a deep manufacturing base, and neighborhoods that range from 1904 bungalows to brand-new subdivisions near High Point University. Every one of those buildings needs a roof that holds up to Piedmont weather, and New Testament Roofing serves High Point, NC, with residential and commercial roofing across all of it.
High Point’s housing tells the story of the furniture and textile boom that built the city. The Uptown Suburbs Historic District — established as a local historic district in 2013 and covering more than 330 acres across Emerywood, Johnson Place, Roland Park, The Parkway, and Sheraton Hill — holds the Colonial Revivals, Tudors, Craftsman bungalows, and Queen Annes that the city’s early prosperity produced. South-side neighborhoods carry ranch and split-level homes from the 1940s through the 1980s, and north-side growth around the university brings newer construction. Each of these calls for a different roofing conversation, and we are equipped for all of them.

If your home is in the Uptown Suburbs Historic District — which includes Emerywood and several of the city’s most established neighborhoods — exterior work such as a roof replacement may require review through High Point’s Historic Preservation process before it can begin. The city’s local historic districts carry a Certificate of Appropriateness requirement designed to preserve the architectural character that makes these neighborhoods distinctive, and roofing material, color, and profile can factor into that review.
This adds time to the planning stage, but it is manageable when you know about it up front. We encourage High Point homeowners in the local historic districts — including the Uptown Suburbs and Washington Street districts — to confirm current requirements with the city’s Historic Preservation office before committing to a scope of work, and we are glad to discuss material options that tend to suit the districts’ architecture. For homes outside the regulated districts, roofing work proceeds on a conventional timeline.
We’re a fully licensed and insured contractor, so you’re protected from the estimate through the final invoice. Every project is completed to code and backed by our commitment to doing the job right the first time.
With housing that spans from early-1900s historic homes to recent construction, the right roofing decision in High Point depends entirely on the property. A 1920s Tudor in Emerywood with an aging roof presents different questions than a 1960s ranch on the south side or a 2010s build near the university. We inspect the specific roof, evaluate the full system rather than the single obvious symptom, and recommend the scope that genuinely fits — a focused repair or a full replacement.
Either way, our crew brings the same standard of workmanship and the same commitment to explaining what we find in plain terms so the decision is clear and yours to make.
A targeted repair is the practical answer when the damage is contained and the broader roof still has dependable life. What separates a repair that lasts from one that fails again is diagnosis — finding the actual source of the problem rather than patching the visible symptom.
Repairs we handle throughout High Point include:
On High Point’s older homes, leaks commonly begin at the complex intersections typical of historic architecture — steep plane junctions, original masonry chimneys, and dormers. Diagnosing those points correctly is what makes the repair hold.
When age, cumulative wear, and repeated repairs mean a roof has reached the end of its dependable life, replacement is the sound investment. A properly installed new roof restores full weather protection, improves energy efficiency, and ends the cycle of recurring repairs on a system that has aged out.
For homes in the Uptown Suburbs Historic District, replacement combines technical care with the COA process — matching materials and profiles that preserve the home’s character while upgrading performance. For the city’s mid-century ranches and newer builds, the process is more conventional. In every case, we manage the full scope from tear-off and deck inspection through installation and cleanup, with clear communication throughout.
High Point sits at the southern point of the Piedmont Triad, in a part of Guilford County that sees regular and sometimes severe storm activity. Spring and summer thunderstorms bring hail and damaging straight-line winds, and the mature tree cover across the city’s older neighborhoods adds the risk of limb strikes during high-wind events. Storm damage to a roof is often more extensive than what shows from the ground, and the steep, complex rooflines on many older High Point homes create additional points where water can find a way in.
We inspect High Point roofs after storm events, document both surface damage and the less obvious failures that wind and hail leave behind, and provide the documentation needed for an insurance claim when the loss qualifies. When a roof needs emergency protection to stop active water intrusion, our crew responds quickly to limit the damage while permanent repairs are arranged.
High Point’s commercial roofing needs are shaped by an economy built on manufacturing, furniture, logistics, healthcare, and higher education. The city carries an unusually large base of industrial and showroom properties — furniture manufacturing facilities, distribution and logistics buildings, the sprawling showroom district downtown, plus retail, office, and medical properties throughout. These are demanding roofing environments, with large flat and low-slope systems that face UV exposure, mechanical loads, and the operational consequences of any leak reaching inventory, showroom space, or production areas.
New Testament Roofing provides commercial roofing services throughout High Point for property owners, facility managers, and business operators who need reliable work, clear communication, and scheduling that respects the demands of an operating business — including the high-stakes windows around Furniture Market.
A commercial roof leak escalates fast, and in a large industrial or showroom building the water can travel well beyond the entry point before it becomes visible. We provide emergency leak response and targeted commercial repair across High Point. For aging flat and low-slope systems that remain structurally sound, restoration coatings can extend service life significantly while improving reflectivity and reducing cooling costs — frequently a stronger value than premature replacement, especially on the large-footprint roofs common in High Point’s industrial base.
Scheduled inspections and proactive maintenance are the most cost-effective way to manage a commercial roof, particularly the large systems typical of manufacturing and logistics facilities. Catching seam separation, membrane wear, and flashing failure early keeps repair costs contained and prevents operational disruption. We work across commercial roofing systems including:
Roofing a 1920s home in Emerywood is a different job than roofing a new build near the university or a manufacturing facility downtown, and we treat each accordingly. What stays constant is the standard — thorough inspection, honest recommendations, careful work, and a clean site when we finish. We would rather tell a property owner their roof has more life left than sell them work they do not need.
High Point’s housing spans more than a century, and the roofing needs vary accordingly. Emerywood and the surrounding Uptown Suburbs Historic District hold early-1900s Colonial Revivals, Tudors, and bungalows where roofing work involves both technical care and, in the local districts, city review. South-side neighborhoods carry ranch and split-level homes from the 1940s through the 1980s, many well past their original roofing lifespan. Established communities like Oak View mix midcentury and later homes, while newer subdivisions such as Florence, Deep River, and Meadow Valley bring younger roofs that benefit most from inspections and preventive care. The Washington Street district, significant to the city’s African American heritage, carries its own mix of early-to-mid-twentieth-century buildings. We serve every part of High Point with the right approach for the age and condition of the roof.
Roofing work — especially on older and established homes — often connects to related needs such as aging gutters, inadequate attic insulation, or exterior surfaces that have weathered alongside the roof. Handling that work with a single contractor keeps the project coherent and the results consistent. Beyond roofing, New Testament Roofing provides:
