1. Start With a Ground-Level Check

Look for signs like curled or missing shingles, sagging spots, or flashing that's come loose. Binoculars can help—but don’t climb up yourself. We’ve seen too many homeowners injured trying to DIY an inspection. Call the pros instead.

2. Don’t Ignore the Gutters

Check for granules or shingle debris in your gutters. It’s often an early sign of shingle deterioration, especially after a hailstorm.

3. Check Your Attic

Look for daylight through the roof boards, or water stains on rafters and insulation. These are signs of active leaks or past water intrusion.

4. Know What’s Normal in Greensboro

Our mix of storms and seasonal shifts means roofs here face unique challenges. If you live in Irving Park (27408) or Lake Jeanette (27455), hail and wind can accelerate wear. That’s why we include storm damage assessments in every inspection.

5. Watch for Roof Discoloration

Stains and dark streaks could signal algae, mold, or water retention—especially in shaded areas. Our Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles are infused with Scotchgard™ to fight this.

6. Avoid DIY Climbing

We can’t stress this enough—stay off your roof. Even one misstep can mean a hospital visit. Our team uses drones and safety equipment to keep things safe and accurate.

7. Get a Free Annual Inspection

It costs you nothing to have Old Timers Roofing, Inc. inspect your home. And we’ll document everything digitally so you have it on file for your insurer.
