Roofing Under Southport's Live Oaks

Historic housing, constant canopy debris, and a river mouth that puts salt air across the entire town.

Southport sits where the Cape Fear River meets the ocean, and its historic district is full of old clapboard houses under live oaks that have been there considerably longer than the buildings. Those two facts drive most of the roofing here — older framing and decking that need care during a tear-off, and a permanent debris load coming down onto the roof.

The waterfront location adds salt to everything. It isn't oceanfront exposure exactly, but river-mouth air is brackish and it corrodes metal steadily. Between the salt on the fasteners and the moss on the shaded slopes, a Southport roof needs more attention than its age alone would suggest.
