Garner's lake-fed humidity keeps algae building on shaded slopes year-round — after a real storm, a documented inspection tells that apart from fresh wind damage.

Two lakes, Benson and Wheeler, keep the air around Garner damp enough that shaded north-facing slopes carry algae and moss almost year-round, long before any single storm touches the roof. That steady background wear can hide what a hard wind event just did — a shingle already dulled by algae staining does not obviously show a fresh crease the way a clean roof would.

A free visit means every plane gets walked, and we separate the two causes during that same walk-through: growth that has clearly been building for seasons against a lifted or torn tab that matches the actual storm you're calling about. That walk-through becomes a written report covering every slope, and every decision that follows from it — what your carrier accepts, how the deductible gets handled — is yours to make. You file the claim, and you stay in control. We are not a public adjuster. Storm work goes through the same office as a full replacement: Town of Garner Inspections department reviews it, with Wake County handling nearby unincorporated parcels, and we confirm which applies before filing.
We get on the roof and document wind and hail damage with close-up photos and drone footage, the same day when we can.
You get the documentation you need to file your claim with confidence. We meet your adjuster on-site and walk them through every area of damage.
Once the claim is settled, we restore the roof with certified materials and back it with our written workmanship warranty.
- Free, no-obligation storm inspection of the full roof
- Detailed photo and drone documentation of every damaged area
- A written damage report you can submit with your insurance claim
- We meet your insurance adjuster on-site and walk through every item
- Emergency tarping to stop water intrusion while the claim is processed
- Full restoration with manufacturer-certified materials and our warranty
Signs to Watch For. Caught Early, Fixed for Less.
If any of these sound familiar, book a free documented inspection — slope-by-slope photos, a straight answer on how much life the roof has left, and one fixed price if it is time. If a repair is the smarter spend, that is what we will tell you.
Hail Bruising vs. Blistering: The Difference That Decides a Claim
- Hail bruise: granules look intact but the mat underneath feels soft and fractured
- Blister: a raised-edge crater missing asphalt, with firm material under it
- Blisters are evenly sized and on every slope; hail is random and storm-facing
- We press-test by hand, not from a ground photo, before calling anything hail
Soft-Metal Collateral: The Evidence That Confirms the Hail Was Real
- Gutters, drip edge, vent caps, and AC fins dent before shingles show damage
- Matching dent sizes across soft metals confirm the hail size and direction
- This collateral is the first thing an adjuster uses to verify the storm hit
- We document it on the same visit, facing the same slopes as the shingle damage
Wind-Lift Signs: A Creased Shingle Is Damaged, an Unsealed One May Not Be
- Wind flaps a tab, snaps the seal strip, and can crease the mat behind it
- A crease is a real mat fracture and a future leak; an unsealed tab alone often is not
- Age and poor installation can unseal tabs with no storm involved
- Calling out only true creases and tears keeps the claim credible
Granule Loss: Reading the Pattern, Not Just the Pile in the Gutter
- Uniform, diffuse thinning on sunny slopes reads as normal aging
- Sharp-edged bare spots clustered on storm-facing slopes read as impact
- Bare asphalt has lost its UV shield and cracks within a year or two here
- We map the shape and location of the loss, not just the volume in the gutter
Documentation That Holds Up: Photos, Dates, and a Written Report
- Close-up photos of each damaged area, labeled by slope and location
- Collateral evidence tied to the dated storm event for your area
- A written, slope-by-slope report you submit with your own claim
- Every line is something we can show you; no padding, no maybes
Adjuster-Walkthrough Prep, and the Line North Carolina Law Draws
- We meet the adjuster on-site and walk every documented item with them
- We are your contractor, not a public adjuster; we do not negotiate the claim
- Only a licensed public adjuster or attorney can argue a claim for a fee in NC
- Your deductible is yours; NC law bars any roofer from waiving or rebating it

Heather Hills is where Mabrey's newest dated Garner job sits — a complete roof replacement closed out in August 2023. A documented inspection opened it, the same first step every completed job here shares, storm call or scheduled tear-off alike. Garner's lake-fed humidity means that first look matters as much as any single storm event does.

Town of Garner Inspections department doesn't sort a storm call into a separate line — it handles a storm-triggered repair on the same terms as a full replacement, with Wake County stepping in on nearby unincorporated parcels.
Lake Benson and Lake Wheeler keep the air here damp enough that shaded north slopes stay colonized with algae and moss year-round, and after a real wind event we separate that long-building growth from fresh storm damage during the same walk-through rather than blaming one for the other.
A hard wind event knocks loose limbs and leaf litter that settle straight into already-damp north-facing valleys, and that debris traps water against the shingle mat long after the storm itself has passed.
The 2018 North Carolina code sets a 115 mph design gust and Exposure B as the floor for every Garner roof we touch, patch-sized or not.
Cannot find your answer? A real person is one call away, no pressure.
- A real person answers. No phone tree, no pressure to commit.
- Free documented inspection: photos and a written report before any quote.
- Straight answers on cost, insurance, and financing, even when the answer is a repair, not a replacement.
By looking at both at once. Algae streaking builds slowly on shaded north slopes and rarely relates to a single storm; a lifted or creased shingle from a real wind event looks and feels different under a hand check. The free inspection separates the two instead of guessing from the driveway.
We stay in our lane on that one. What we provide is a photographed, written account your carrier can act on — the decision itself is yours to make. You file the claim, and you stay in control. We are not a public adjuster.
An insurer's first question is whether the damage lines up with an actual storm date, so that's where we start — dating and photographing before any tool comes out. Once that record exists, the repair itself, a reset shingle here, a resealed joint there, is no different from any routine call.
