Efland, NC — Roofing by Arthur's Roofing

Arthur's Roofing serves Efland and western Orange County. Call (336) 565-5585.

Efland sits in Cheeks Township, about three miles west of Hillsborough and six miles east of Mebane, right along the I-40/I-85 corridor. It's a small unincorporated community — the 2020 census counted 852 people — built around a rail depot that opened in 1890, when the settlement (originally called Green Springs) was renamed for Madison Lindsay Efland. That depot era left behind a run of tobacco, milling and hosiery operations, and the old Rosenwald school at Gravely Hill is part of the same history. Today the Efland Ruritan Club — chartered in 1981 after buying the surplus Efland Elementary School property — runs the annual October rodeo and the July 4th and Christmas parades, and multi-generation operations like McAdams Farm still work land they've farmed for over a century. Arthur's Roofing has been doing roof work in this stretch of Orange County long enough to know the housing stock isn't one-size-fits-all, and we don't treat it that way.

What Roofing Actually Looks Like in Efland

Old Depot-Era Homes Next to New Construction

Efland's roofing stock reflects its history: farmhouses and depot-era homes built when the rail line and mills were still running, standing alongside newer subdivisions filling in as growth pushes west from Hillsborough. We routinely quote a 1950s farmhouse re-roof one week and a builder-grade architectural shingle job in a new development the next, and the material and ventilation choices for each are genuinely different.

Working Farms Still Need Working Roofs

With farms like McAdams still in active production, we see a steady mix of barn and outbuilding roofing alongside residential work — different loads, different fastening requirements, and often metal rather than shingle.

Rail Corridor and Interstate Wind Exposure

Efland's open stretches along the old rail corridor and the I-40/I-85 right-of-way mean less windbreak from surrounding structures than you'd get in a denser town center, so wind-driven shingle lift and flashing failures after Piedmont thunderstorms are something we watch for specifically here, not just in general storm season boilerplate.

Where We Work Around Efland

Efland is unincorporated, so there's no municipal neighborhood grid to list — the community itself is the reference point. We work the corridor between Hillsborough (Orange County's seat, about 3 miles east) and the Tanger Outlets area of Mebane (about 6 miles west), plus the rural roads branching off toward Cheeks Township and the Efland-Cheeks Elementary School area on Fuller Road. If you're near the Ruritan Club building on Forrest Ave or out on one of the farm roads past it, we've likely already worked a roof near you.

Since 1992, Arthur's Roofing has worked communities across the Piedmont Triad, including places like Efland that are easy for bigger contractors to skip because there's no downtown storefront to advertise from.
