How to Tell If Your Roof Has Hidden Hail Damage in Greensboro
In the Greensboro area—especially neighborhoods like Guilford Hills, Irving Park, and Starmount Forest—hailstorms can hit hard and fast. While some damage is obvious, much of it is stealthy. That’s why at Old Timers Roofing, Inc., we stress the importance of early detection and professional inspection.
Why Hidden Hail Damage Is Dangerous
Hail impacts may leave no visible mark but still bruise the shingle’s matting or dislodge granules. Left unchecked, this leads to premature aging, leaks, and costly repairs down the road.
5 Signs You Might Have Hidden Hail Damage
- Shingles appear darker or shinier in some areas (missing granules)
- Soft spots when walking on the roof (not recommended—call us instead)
- Granules piling up in gutters or downspouts
- Attic moisture or new ceiling stains indoors
- Neighbors getting repairs—storms often affect whole streets
Don’t Climb the Roof Yourself
Warning: Climbing your roof after a hailstorm is dangerous. It may be structurally weakened, and signs of damage can be subtle to an untrained eye. Let our licensed roof inspectors handle the job safely and thoroughly.
How We Detect What Others Miss
We use drone inspections, thermal imaging, and multi-point assessments to catch what the adjusters often miss. Our inspections come with a full PDF report and photo evidence.
Can Insurance Cover It?
Yes—if you act fast. Insurance companies often deny claims that aren't filed within a short window after a storm. We help document and file for you. Learn more about our insurance claim assistance.
What Happens If You Wait?
Hidden hail damage can lead to leaks, mold, framing rot, and electrical hazards. It may also void your roof warranty. Most Greensboro homes we inspect post-storm could have avoided thousands in repairs with a simple call sooner.
Local Trust, Backed by Warranty
Our roofs are built with Atlas Pinnacle® Pristine shingles, fortified with Core4® tech and Scotchgard™. Plus, we back everything with a lifetime workmanship warranty—no corner-cutting, no surprises.

🧠 Tip: Check Your Neighbors' Roofs
If nearby homes are being repaired, your roof was likely affected too. Storm patterns don’t skip properties. Our team often finds identical damage up and down the same street.
