Skip to content New roof installation for new construction, additions, and outbuildings on large, well-and-septic lots. GAF Certified Plus, free estimate, site planning included.
Because Summerfield has no public water or sewer, nearly every lot is served by a private well and septic system. According to Guilford County's own permit guidance, properties on well and septic may need separate approval from the county's Environmental Health Department in addition to the standard building permit, specifically to confirm a new structure isn't sited over the drain field or its reserved repair area.
That repair area matters even if nothing is built on it today. It's set aside for a future replacement drain field, and North Carolina septic regulations prohibit covering it with permanent structures, driveways, or anything that compacts the soil. For an addition, garage, or new home on a Summerfield lot, knowing where that area sits is part of site planning, not an afterthought.

Well and septic properties add one extra track to the standard building permit process.
Often yes. Guilford County's own permit guidance notes that properties served by well and septic may need separate approval from the Environmental Health Department in addition to the standard building permit, since new structures cannot be built over a septic drain field or its reserved repair area.
No. Septic drain fields, and the reserved repair area set aside for a future replacement field, cannot be covered by permanent structures, driveways, or anything that compacts the soil. This is a standard requirement across North Carolina septic regulations.
Pricing depends on project type. A full new home build typically runs $9,500 to $16,000, while additions, garages, and porches cost less depending on size. Use the calculator above for an estimate specific to your project.
Yes. Many Summerfield properties include detached garages, barns, or equestrian structures on larger lots, and we install those roofs to the same standard as the primary residence.
Free estimate, help understanding what's buildable, and installation on outbuildings as much as the main house.
