How Orange County’s storms compare

Orange County sits in the Triangle. From 2016 through 2025, NOAA’s Storm Events Database logged 7 hail reports and 123 damaging thunderstorm-wind reports there — fewer hail reports than Wake County’s 125. Its tropical-storm and hurricane entries name Michael and Ian.

One state license, from Murphy to Manteo

Roofers are licensed the same way everywhere in North Carolina. The NC Licensing Board for General Contractors requires a license when a project costs $40,000 or more — a threshold set by G.S. 87-1 and raised from $30,000 in October 2023 — and roofing is licensed under the Board’s S(Roofing) specialty classification as well as its Residential and Building classifications.

Every license carries a project limit: up to $750,000 for a Limited license, $1.5 million for Intermediate, no cap for Unlimited (G.S. 87-10). The Board’s public search works statewide, so a Wilmington roofer working a Raleigh job looks up exactly the same way.

What changes with the city is everything local: permit counters, historic-district reviews and HOA covenants. The permit statute is statewide (G.S. 160D-1110); the people applying it are not.

Chapel Hill’s houses next to the rest of the state

The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 American Community Survey puts Chapel Hill’s median year built at 1988, with 3.2% of homes built before 1940 and 32.2% since 2000. Older houses tend to hide more under the shingles — extra layers, tired decking; newer ones bring a wave of first replacements.
