Chapel Hill Roofers, Close to Home

Chapel Hill’s homes by the numbers

The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey counts 23,581 homes in Chapel Hill town, with a median year built of 1988. 32.2% were built in 2000 or later and 35.4% before 1980, and 47.4% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.

That makes Chapel Hill’s housing older than Raleigh’s (median 1997). The median Chapel Hill house is about 38 years old, and the City of Raleigh’s historic design guidelines put a good-quality fiberglass shingle roof at twenty to thirty years, so plenty of original roofs here are due for replacement now.
