Not necessarily. Some granule loss is normal over time, especially after a storm. However, excessive loss, often seen in our area, exposes the asphalt layer and speeds up aging. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the underlayment and shingle integrity. Often, timely repair or targeted reroofing can extend your roof's life, saving you from a full replacement.

Proactive inspections are key in Petersburg. Issues like damaged underlayment or compromised flashing aren't always visible from the ground and won't cause leaks until significant damage occurs inside your walls or attic. Our inspections identify these vulnerabilities early, allowing for affordable repairs that prevent much more expensive water damage and mold remediation down the line.

We always start with an assessment. For many Petersburg decks, repair—like replacing rotten boards or reinforcing the frame—is a cost-effective solution. However, if the foundational structure is compromised by moisture or insect damage, a replacement is safer and more durable. We'll give you a straightforward recommendation to ensure your deck is secure and lasts for years to come.
