Ardmore mixes houses from several eras with the large flat roofs around Hanes Mall, so roofing jobs here run from re-covering a mid-century roof to repairing older flashing and valleys. Winston-Salem Roofing connects you with an independent local roofer, who inspects, quotes and does the work.
Ardmore is a 600-acre national historic district, described as the largest and newest of Winston-Salem's historic districts. It lies between Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and Forsyth Hospital. A short distance away, Hanes Mall opened on August 6, 1975, off Stratford Road and Hanes Mall Boulevard beside Interstate 40.
That puts two kinds of roof close together: residential roofs on houses of several building eras, and the broad commercial roofs around the mall. ZIP 27103 is the working ZIP for this page, and neighborhood-to-ZIP assignment is approximate.

The common cover on the mid-century and later houses in this part of the city.
Older valleys and wall flashing are a frequent starting point for leaks on varied rooflines.

Around Hanes Mall, the buildings are commercial: wide, low-slope roofs where drainage and seams matter more than shingles. A few streets away the work is residential. Some roofers do both, and many lean one way, so say at the start of the call which kind of building you have.
For a commercial or flat roof, flat and low-slope roofing covers membranes and the drainage detail that differs from shingle work. For a pitched house roof, asphalt shingle roofing is the page to read.
Ardmore is a national historic district. Whether a particular Ardmore address falls under the local Historic Resources Commission review that applies to West End and Old Salem roof replacements is not something the research behind this page confirms, so do not assume either answer. Ask the commission's staff for your address before choosing materials.
If review does apply, the practical effect is that a roofer should know the rules before ordering shingles. The historic district roof guide lists the districts and the steps.
Houses here span several building eras, and Winston-Salem as a whole has about 14,555 homes from the 1950s and 12,194 from the 1960s. A house from either decade may well have been re-roofed already, so the question is rarely "new or old" and more often "what is already up there and what is it hiding."
A roofer will look at the shingle surface, then at valleys, wall intersections and vent flashings, which are where older roofs leak first. Re-roofing needs a building permit in Winston-Salem; patching or replacing a few shingles typically does not. Published estimates for a new asphalt shingle roof here range from about $4 to $7.50 per square foot installed, and the roofer's on-site quote is the number that counts.
July in Winston-Salem has an average high of 87 F, is the most humid month and has the most wet days, about 13.6 with at least 0.04 inch of rain. Roofing contractors in the area often point to algae, which feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, and to moss, which lifts shingle edges and holds moisture. The streaks it leaves are cosmetic at first and a warning later.
The snowy period averages from about November 29 to March 16, so freeze-thaw cycles work on whatever moss and moisture are already there. Soft washing, a low-pressure method, is the cleaning approach those sources recommend, not a pressure washer. Moss and algae treatment covers when cleaning is enough and when it is not.
North Carolina issues no roofing licence of its own. A general contractor licensed by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors must do work at or above $40,000 in project cost, and a "Specialty Contractor - Roofing" classification exists for roofers working under that threshold. Local permits apply either way. A homeowner who owns and occupies the house may re-roof it without a contractor.
Winston-Salem Roofing claims no licence of its own and does not vouch for a contractor's. Look up any roofer with the issuing board before you sign, and keep the permit paperwork the roofer files.

Some can, but pitched shingle work and low-slope membrane work are different trades in practice. Tell the person on the phone which one you have, and ask the roofer whether they regularly do it before booking a visit.
It is a sensible first call if you are changing the roof's materials or appearance. Ardmore is a national historic district, but the research here does not confirm whether local review covers your address, so the commission's staff should decide.
There is no count for Ardmore alone. Citywide, about 14,555 homes date from the 1950s and 12,194 from the 1960s, and houses that old have most likely been re-roofed at least once. Ask a roofer to check what is under the surface layer.
Not necessarily. Many leaks come from a failed flashing, vent boot or seam, which is a smaller repair. A roofer on site can tell whether the problem is local or whether the whole covering is worn out.
No. The published figures of about $4 to $7.50 per square foot are for asphalt shingle roofs on homes, and a commercial membrane roof is a different material and job. No sourced figure exists for flat roofs here, so the contractor quotes on site.
Not always urgent, but not harmless. Moss lifts shingle edges and holds moisture, and algae streaks feed on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Soft washing is the low-pressure method often recommended; pressure washing is not. A roofer can tell you whether cleaning is enough.
