This directory holds seven roofing listings for Knightdale, North Carolina. None of them has a Google rating matched to it yet, so what follows is contact detail rather than reputation data.
All of them are recorded in Wake County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Knightdale goes through Wake County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.

Licensing for roofers working in Knightdale
North Carolina does not licence roofers as a trade at every job size. A state contractor credential becomes necessary once a project reaches $40,000, and it is issued by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors.
Below that figure a Knightdale roofer needs no state licence — but the threshold is about state licensure only. It never exempts the work from a permit and an inspection through Wake County or the city.

Storm history in Wake County
Knightdale has no weather record of its own — NOAA records severe weather against counties, and the listings on this page put Knightdale in Wake County. These are weather records for the whole county, not an assessment of any building in Knightdale.
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 457 severe-weather events recorded against Wake County between 2016 and 2026: 327 thunderstorm wind events, 125 hail reports and 5 tornadoes.
Of the 125 hail reports, 93 measured 1.00 in across or larger and 32 measured under an inch. The largest on record is 2.75 in (Softball+) on September 1, 2017.
The strongest wind gust in the record is 66 kt (about 76 mph), a measured gust, on September 8, 2023. The county record holds five tornadoes over the same period.
The busiest complete year in the record is 2020, with 80 events. The most recent event meeting this dataset's severity definition is a hail report measuring 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar) on July 8, 2026. That one is a preliminary report and has not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Sep 8, 2023 -- Thunderstorm Wind (66 kt gust)
- May 13, 2019 -- Tornado (EF2) -- $1.00M property damage reported
- May 13, 2019 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in) -- $95.00M property damage reported
- Sep 1, 2017 -- Hail (Softball+ hail, 2.75 in) -- $10.00M property damage reported
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
68 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Wake County since June 1, 2026: 63 thunderstorm wind events and 5 hail reports. The largest hail in the window is 1.25 in (Quarter - Half Dollar), reported July 8, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $113,197,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Wake County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
