What A&W Roofing Finds on Salisbury-Area Homes
After nearly 20 years inspecting roofs across Rowan County, we see the same patterns on local homes. Here's what our HAAG Certified inspectors find most often — and what it means for your roof.
Humidity damage on older ranch-style homes
Salisbury's humid summers accelerate shingle granule loss on low-slope ranch roofs. We regularly find moisture trapped under shingles on homes built in the 1970s–1990s along the western side of town.
Hail impact from Rowan County storm tracks
Rowan County sits in a corridor that sees hail-producing storms several times a year. We document hail bruising that homeowners often miss — damage that's invisible from the ground but significant to insurers.
Wind uplift on steep-pitch homes near I-85
Homes along the I-85 corridor experience higher wind exposure. We frequently find wind-lifted tab edges and compromised starter strips on these properties after severe weather events.
Improper flashing on older brick homes
Many of Salisbury's brick homes from the 1960s–1980s have original step flashing that has corroded or separated. This is one of the most common sources of interior water damage we find during inspections.
Ventilation problems in attics
Inadequate attic ventilation is widespread in older Salisbury neighborhoods. Poor ventilation traps summer heat and winter moisture, shortening shingle life by 5–10 years and voiding manufacturer warranties.
Algae and moss growth on north-facing slopes
North Carolina's humidity encourages algae streaking and moss growth, especially on north-facing roof slopes shaded by mature trees. Left untreated, moss roots lift shingles and accelerate deterioration.
Free Inspection Process
What Happens During Your Free A&W Inspection
Our free inspections are thorough, documented, and pressure-free. Here's exactly what our HAAG Certified inspector does when they visit your Salisbury home.
- 1
Ground-level and aerial assessment
We walk the perimeter and use aerial imaging to evaluate the full roof surface — ridge lines, valleys, flashing points, and gutters — before setting foot on the roof.
- 2
On-roof shingle and decking evaluation
Our inspector physically checks shingle condition, granule retention, nail patterns, and any soft spots that indicate decking damage beneath the surface.
- 3
Attic inspection for ventilation and moisture
We go inside your attic to check for moisture staining, mold, inadequate ventilation, and any daylight penetration — issues that affect both your roof's lifespan and your home's energy efficiency.
- 4
Photo documentation of every finding
Every issue is photographed and noted. You receive a written report you can use for your own records, for insurance purposes, or to compare with other contractors.
- 5
Honest recommendation — repair or replace
We tell you what we actually found. If a repair will solve the problem, we say so. We never recommend a full replacement when it isn't warranted.

Filing a Roofing Insurance Claim in North Carolina
Most Salisbury homeowners have never filed a roof insurance claim before. A&W Roofing has guided hundreds of Rowan County families through the process. Here's how it works.
1
Call A&W first — before your insurer
A HAAG Certified inspector documents all damage before your adjuster visits. This gives you an independent record that protects your claim from being undervalued.
2
We meet your adjuster on-site
Our inspector walks the roof with your insurance adjuster, pointing out every damage item. Adjusters who work with HAAG Certified contractors consistently approve more complete claims.
3
Review the scope of loss together
We review the adjuster's scope of loss with you line by line. If items are missing or undervalued, we help you request a supplement — a normal part of the NC claims process.
4
Replacement scheduled after approval
Once your claim is approved, we schedule your replacement at your convenience. Most Rowan County jobs are completed in a single day.
5
Final documentation for your records
You receive a complete warranty package, permit documentation, and before/after photos — everything you need for your home records and future resale.

Rowan County Climate Guide
Choosing the Right Shingle for Rowan County's Climate
Salisbury's climate is harder on roofs than most homeowners realize. Hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and winter ice events all factor into which shingle performs best here.
Summer heat and UV exposure
Salisbury averages 213 sunny days per year. Shingles with higher solar reflectance and algae-resistant granules last significantly longer in our climate than standard 3-tab products.
A&W recommends: CertainTeed Landmark or Landmark Pro
Hail frequency in Rowan County
Rowan County averages 2–4 significant hail events per year. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can reduce insurance premiums and withstand hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter.
A&W recommends: CertainTeed Landmark IR (Class 4)
Humidity and algae growth
NC's humidity makes algae streaking nearly inevitable on standard shingles within 5–7 years. StreakFighter® granule technology prevents the black streaking common on Salisbury rooftops.
A&W recommends: Any CertainTeed StreakFighter® product
Wind exposure and uplift
Architectural shingles with a 110 mph wind rating are the minimum we recommend for Rowan County. Homes on elevated lots or near open fields should consider 130 mph-rated products.
A&W recommends: CertainTeed Landmark Pro or Presidential TL
Gutter Services
