About Colfax

Colfax is a community in western Guilford County, in the center of the Piedmont Triad. It is home to the Robert G. Shaw Piedmont Triad Farmers Market and sits beside Triad Park on the Guilford-Forsyth line. Greensboro annexed the main part of Colfax in 2008 and High Point annexed southern portions in 2010; some of the area remains unincorporated (Wikipedia: Colfax, North Carolina).

Which office handles permits?

Because Colfax is split between Greensboro, High Point and unincorporated Guilford County, the permit office depends on the exact address. Unincorporated areas fall under Guilford County (Guilford County government). It is worth confirming early.

Open ground and wind

Larger, more open lots in western Guilford see stronger gusts during thunderstorms than sheltered city streets. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center outlooks regularly include the Triad during spring and summer (NOAA Storm Prediction Center). Roof edges and ridges take the brunt.

Farmhouses, barns and outbuildings

Older farmhouses and outbuildings in Colfax often have metal roofs, sometimes exposed-fastener panels whose screws and washers have aged. Re-screwing, panel replacement or a new metal roof are common requests. See metal roofing.

Suburban homes

Newer subdivisions have architectural shingle roofs that are reaching their first replacement. Ventilation is worth checking at the same time.

Nearby: Kernersville to the west, Greensboro to the east, High Point to the south.
