North Carolina hail and the tropical storm declarations
Hail gives North Carolina its clearest 2025 storm count. The NOAA Storm Events 2025 details file has 139 North Carolina records with event type Hail, 21st of the 50 states in that file.
The FEMA count on this page is zero for North Carolina. FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries list no North Carolina major disaster from January 1, 2023 through October 7, 2026 with a severe storm, tornado or hurricane incident type or title. The state did receive three tropical declarations in that period, which this count leaves out:
- DR-4827, Tropical Storm Helene (September 28, 2024)
- DR-4837, Potential Tropical Cyclone Eight (October 19, 2024)
- DR-4889, Tropical Depression Chantal (September 11, 2025)
Counting method: hail records are 2025 Storm Events entries with event type Hail, one per county or forecast zone per date. FEMA declarations count once each when typed as a severe storm, tornado or hurricane or titled for one, and declarations FEMA typed as tropical storms or depressions are listed here but not counted.
North Carolina homeowners and newer housing
North Carolina has a large share of recent construction. Table B25034 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 663,072 housing units built from 2010 to 2019 and 144,653 built in 2020 or later, while 33.9% of units were built before 1980. The median year structure built in table B25035 is 1991.
Of 4,282,345 occupied housing units, 2,853,493 are owner-occupied in table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024). Those owners are the households that can approve a roofing contract.
State guidance on roofers in North Carolina
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
The North Carolina Department of Insurance addressed roofing directly after a 2026 winter storm. In a Department of Insurance post (February 4, 2026), the Insurance Commissioner advised homeowners to call their insurance agent or company before signing a contract or paying for repairs, not to let a contractor work directly with the insurer unless the agent approves, and to be wary of unsolicited offers to inspect a roof after a storm.
The same post tells homeowners to hire only licensed and insured contractors, get more than one estimate, get the cost, schedule and payment terms in writing, and never sign a contract with blanks. For a buyer, these points line up with intakeIntakeThe process a law firm or its intake team uses to screen a potential client, collect the facts of the accident and injury, and decide whether to take the case. Glossary fields such as claim status and whether the homeowner has already spoken with the insurer.
North Carolina's general contractor license threshold and its cancellation windows for off-premises sales, including the separate window for roof work after a claim denial, are on leads in North Carolina.
What North Carolina roofing buyers filter on
Buyers in North Carolina usually combine these four fields:
- ZIP code: coverage drawn county by county, for example around the counties named in a tropical storm declaration.
- Insurance claim status: whether the homeowner has called the insurer, which the Department of Insurance advises before any contract.
- Project type: repair, full replacement, or an inspection request after hail or wind.
- Homeowner status: owners only, since a renter cannot sign for the roof.

North Carolina roofing lead questions
Why is North Carolina's FEMA storm count zero when Helene hit the state?
FEMA typed the Helene declaration, DR-4827 (September 28, 2024), as a tropical storm, and this page counts only severe storm, tornado and hurricane declarations in FEMA's Disaster Declarations Summaries. Helene is listed on the page but not counted.
What does the North Carolina Department of Insurance tell homeowners about roofers?
