A Durham-based crew tearing off Greensboro roofs from Clinton Hills and Dudley Heights to Green Valley and the Rudd community, county line to county line.
Yes — the drive changes, not the standard. Mabrey Roofing is based in Durham and sends its own crews west into Guilford County rather than handing the work to a subcontractor.

Every tear-off here is graded against one number, city or county: the 2018 North Carolina code, a 115 mph design gust, and Exposure B. Greensboro's roofing stock splits into two clear eras: an early-1900s core where the decking often hides a second shingle layer under the visible one, and newer infill going up on tighter lots around it, and a tear-off gets scoped differently depending on which one the crew is actually standing on. Four stops on Mabrey's coordinate-checked completed-jobs record sit inside Guilford County: Clinton Hills, Dudley Heights, and Green Valley closer to the city center, plus the small Rudd community out toward the county's northern edge. Every job on that list got a full photographed walk of the roof before the crew was ever scheduled. City-limit addresses pull their permit from City of Greensboro Development Services; unincorporated Guilford County addresses answer to a separate county desk instead, paperwork Mabrey handles either way.
We photograph every slope and walk you through exactly what we found. No pressure, no jargon.
A single honest number with material options and financing. We help document an insurance claim if it is storm damage.
Most roofs go on in a single day. We protect the landscaping and sweep every nail before we leave.
- Complete tear-off down to the decking, never a layover on top of old shingles
- Decking inspection and replacement of any rotten or soft sheathing
- New synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys, and drip edge
- New step flashing and pipe boots at chimneys, walls, and penetrations
- Manufacturer-certified shingles installed to spec for the full warranty
- Ridge ventilation corrected so the new roof breathes properly
- Landscaping, siding, and gutters protected for the entire job
- Full cleanup with a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway
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.
Full Tear-Off vs. Going Over the Old Roof
- Two layers is the NC legal ceiling, not a goal
- A layover hides the decking rot you are fixing
- Best-tier warranties require a clean tear-off
Decking Inspection: What Rot Actually Looks Like
- Rot clusters at eaves, valleys, and chimneys
- A shingle is only as good as the wood under it
- Bad wood is photographed before we replace it
Attic Ventilation: The Step Most Roofs Get Wrong
- Intake low at the soffits, exhaust at the ridge
- Exhaust without intake starves the whole system
- Trapped heat ages a roof from the inside out
Underlayment and Where Ice-and-Water Shield Goes
- Synthetic underlayment beats felt in humidity
- Ice-and-water membrane seals around every nail
- It goes in valleys, eaves, and penetrations
The Warranty Logic: What Actually Unlocks the Best Coverage
- Product warranty is separate from workmanship
- Most leaks trace to install, not the shingles
- Off-brand accessories can void the coverage
Material Lifespan and How Install Quality Changes It
- Shingles are rated 25-30 years installed right
- Pine debris traps moisture and eats granules
- Poor ventilation bakes shingles from below
A page exists here because a real local job does — not because a keyword does.
A full roof replacement completed in Clinton Hills, one stop on Mabrey's coordinate-checked Guilford County record. The crew photographed the whole roof before any tear-off began, the same first step every job on this page shares. Clinton Hills sits alongside Dudley Heights, Green Valley, and the Rudd community on that same record — four different corners of the county, one standard.
52 mph peak wind gust Tropical Storm Debby put on Greensboro, August 2024.
Two desks split a Greensboro roofing permit. City of Greensboro Development Services signs off on anything inside city limits; cross into unincorporated Guilford County and a separate county desk takes the file instead. Mabrey checks the address against that line before anything gets submitted.
Whether the address is five minutes from the Durham shop or clear across Guilford County, every Mabrey tear-off is built to the same number: the 2018 North Carolina code, a 115 mph design gust, and Exposure B.
Tropical Storm Debby put a 52 mph gust on Greensboro in August 2024 and nearly four inches of rain the same day — enough combined wind and water to lift a shingle edge and work a flashing seam loose on a roof that's already carrying its second decade of shingle wear.
Rudd sits out toward Guilford County's outer edge, well past Clinton Hills, Dudley Heights, and Green Valley inside the city — proof this record reaches the whole county, not just the streets nearest the Durham drive in.

An actual Mabrey crew, every time. Guilford County sits west of Durham, so a Greensboro job means a longer trip out, not a different outfit on the roof. The crew that photographs the job and pulls the City of Greensboro Development Services permit is the crew swinging the hammer.
It changes what the crew checks first. An early-1900s roof can be hiding a second or third shingle layer under the visible one, and that adds weight and labor a newer roof never carries. Mabrey pulls a sample at the eave before quoting, so the bid reflects what's actually up there.
Depends on the address. City of Greensboro Development Services is the desk for anywhere within city limits. Step past that boundary into unincorporated Guilford County — Rudd included — and a different desk takes over instead. Mabrey figures out which one applies before submitting anything.
By its coordinates, not its mailing address. Clinton Hills, Dudley Heights, Green Valley, and Rudd all check out against the real county line — a mailing city and the actual jurisdiction don't always agree out here, so the coordinate is what decides.
