Alpha Roofing is led by Kevin Picklesimer, a North Carolina Licensed General Contractor who was raised locally and understands the demands coastal homes face from wind, rain, and salt air. His hands-on experience with coastal building standards shapes every project we take on.
Alpha Roofing isn’t a pop-up roofing company. Under Kevin’s leadership, the business is rooted in the community, accountable to homeowners, and committed to doing things the right way—today and long after the job is complete.

Your Roof system Designed
Building to perform in coastal wind + wind-driven rain
Most roofing problems don’t start with the shingles you can see—they start with what’s under them.
If your attic is running hot, you’re seeing moisture issues, or your roof seems to be aging “too fast,” there’s a good chance the real culprit is the roof system: ventilation balance, water management details, and how the roof was installed around the most vulnerable areas.
Giving you clear options, a clear scope, and a clean jobsite
SHINGLES
A roof is more than a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a critical system that must be installed to building code and manufacturer specifications to properly protect your home. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize that shortcuts during installation can compromise storm performance and even insurance coverage.
Alpha Roofing is one of the few fully licensed roofing contractors serving the Wilmington area. Our team installs premium asphalt shingle systems with careful attention to wind resistance, water management, flashing details, and code compliance—key factors when coastal storms put your home to the test.
We offer a curated selection of high-quality architectural shingles in refined colors and styles that complement upscale homes, while delivering the durability insurers expect and homeowners appreciate. The result is a roof that enhances curb appeal, performs when weather turns severe, and provides long-term confidence that it was installed correctly—without corners cut.
GUTTERS
Gutters play a critical role in protecting your home—yet many homeowners are surprised to learn that gutter systems must meet the North Carolina State Building Code (Plumbing Code) for proper slope, drainage, and water control. In the Wilmington area, most gutter installers are not licensed contractors, which often leads to improper pitch, hidden water damage, and costly issues during storms.
Alpha Roofing is a fully licensed contractor, installing gutter systems to code with precise slope calculations that move water efficiently away from your roofline, fascia, foundation, and landscaping. This attention to detail becomes especially important during coastal downpours and wind-driven rain.
We design and install seamless gutter systems, with optional gutter protection, that blend cleanly into high-end homes while delivering dependable storm performance. The result is quiet confidence—knowing your gutter system was engineered correctly, protects your investment, and aligns with what insurers expect when heavy weather hits.
LEAF GUARDS
Gutter guards aren’t one-size-fits-all—and when installed improperly, they can cause more harm than good. Many systems fail during heavy rain, allowing water to overflow behind the gutters or clog below the surface, especially in coastal environments.
Alpha Roofing installs a professional-grade micro-mesh gutter guard system designed to keep out pine needles, roof granules, leaves, and fine debris while allowing high volumes of water to flow freely during storms. The system is engineered to work with properly pitched, code-compliant gutters—not fight against them.
When installed correctly, micro-mesh protection reduces overflow, protects fascia and foundations, and helps your drainage system perform as intended when storms hit hardest. For homeowners who value long-term performance and low maintenance, our gutter guard installations deliver peace of mind without compromising the appearance of your home.
COMMERCIAL ROOFING
Alpha Roofing delivers reliable, long-lasting commercial roofing solutions tailored to your building and budget. We specialize in TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofing systems, offering repairs, full replacements, and roof coatings designed to extend the life of your roof and protect your investment.
Our team is trained and certified with leading manufacturers, using the latest installation and repair methods. We also provide core sampling, detailed roof evaluations, and custom maintenance programs to help you plan ahead and avoid costly surprises.
METAL ROOFING
Metal roofing is a significant investment—and for many homes, it’s one of the most important exterior decisions you’ll ever make. What most homeowners don’t realize is that many metal roofing installations exceed $40,000, which legally requires a properly licensed contractor. In the Wilmington area, a large portion of installers simply aren’t licensed to perform this level of work.
Alpha Roofing is a fully licensed and manufacturer-trained contractor, qualified to install premium metal roofing systems, including FORTIFIED™ metal roofs designed for enhanced wind and storm resistance. Our team follows strict building code, fastening, and underlayment requirements to ensure long-term performance, warranty protection, and insurance confidence.
Metal roofs are chosen for durability, longevity, and peace of mind during severe weather. We install them with the same mindset—careful planning, precise execution, and zero shortcuts—so your investment is protected when coastal storms put it to the test.
FORTIFIED ROOFING
A FORTIFIED™ roof is designed for homeowners who want the highest level of protection against wind-driven rain and severe coastal storms—and many North Carolina homeowners may qualify for grants of up to $10,000 to help cover the cost.
Alpha Roofing is trained and licensed to install FORTIFIED™ roofing systems, and we take an added step most contractors miss. We use specialized documentation software to record each phase of the installation—fastening patterns, materials, and critical details—and securely share this information with the independent FORTIFIED™ evaluator. This ensures Alpha Roofing, the third-party evaluator, and your insurance company are fully aligned from start to finish.
That documentation creates confidence—not just during installation, but long after the job is complete. If you’re planning a new roof or reroof, we’ll help determine whether your home qualifies for FORTIFIED™ upgrades and grant funding, and guide you through the process with clarity and care.
