When it comes to roofs, water always finds a way in. And, as the professionals say at Old Timers Roofing put it, that’s not a good thing.
Whether it’s a missing or damaged shingle, gutters stuffed with debris, loose granules on the matting or a crooked eave, rain, hail and ice can find a way through, causing both irreparable interior and exterior damage to a home. While homeowners typically don’t think much about their roofs until something goes wrong, Old Timers Roofing can provide peace of mind, energy savings and longevity to help preserve the structural integrity of the roof through its lifespan.
Serving Greensboro and the greater Piedmont Triad, the locally owned company helps homeowners understand their roof, its condition and how to make the necessary decisions that protect both their home and their equity. The company does it all — clear assessments, insurance claim support and expert installation. Old Timers also serves as an anchor within the community with its neighborhood support efforts, storm recovery assistance and local youth program sponsorships throughout the area.
Another attribute that sets the company apart is its unique StormTrace program, an online and on-site professional roof evaluation process that serves as a critical component that is simple to use and makes it even easier for homeowners to work through the process of whether they need a new roof or not. It’s a data-driven service that provides owners with visual inspections and insurance guidance, which distinguishes the approach from a standard “free estimate.”
Included within this service methodology is the unique Storm Check tool, into which owners can enter their address to see the history of storm events their roof has endured from damaging winds to 3-inch hail; the Instant Estimate tool, which provides price ranges before deciding on an in-person evaluation; and a roof Payment Calculator. Following that, an Old Timers professional will conduct an on-site roof inspection and then confirm the condition and options.
With more than 20 years of experience behind it, the company helps homeowners identify functional damage that often occurs beneath the surface of a roof and is not easily visible from the ground. For example, hail and wind can fracture the shingle mat, break seal strips or bruise impact zones without immediate leaks. Hail damage that is visible on a car, outside furniture and even the mailbox is usually a good indicator that the roof sustained damage as well. At that point, it’s important for homeowners to call for a roof inspection.
Old Timers’ Fast Storm portal, located on the company website, makes it easy to identify which storms came through a particular area for those homeowners looking to complete insurance claims. Without the aid of the tracker, and for those homeowners who can’t give an exact date of a storm, insurance companies may automatically deny the coverage. The accuracy of Fast Storm helps eliminate problems that may occur down the line in terms of claims.
The company’s roofing pros can also conduct drone-assisted inspections in specific cases to verify when a roof does not need replacement and prevent unnecessary insurance claims. Old Timers employs local seasoned experts with decades of experience within the roofing industry. The benefit of hiring local professionals is that they understand regional weather patterns, codes and insurance expectations, reducing surprises later.
The company’s involvement within the community is also far-reaching and includes sponsorships like the Greater Greensboro Sports Hall of Champions and supporting the Friendly Acres Neighborhood Association’s landscape projects, as well as numerous partnerships with local schools, athletic teams and neighborhood events throughout the area. Through its Roof Equity program, Old Timers works directly with real estate agents and local property owners to help protect housing investments and property values during storm recovery and real estate transitions.
The family-operated company also donates labor and materials for local veterans and offers discounted services ($200 off) for veterans and first responders. In 2021, the company, in conjunction with community partners, replaced the historic Walker Building roof for the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford. Customers who make referrals to Old Timers, also receive gift cards that can be redeemed at area businesses.
