Yes, granule loss is a common issue here due to our coastal environment. Those granules protect your shingles from UV rays. Significant loss, especially accelerated by salt air, exposes the asphalt matting and leads to faster deterioration. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss options, which may range from targeted repairs to a section replacement to prevent leaks and more costly damage.

Absolutely. Proper attic ventilation is critical for Connecticut homes. In summer, trapped heat bakes your shingles from underneath, shortening their lifespan. In winter, a hot attic melts snow, which refreezes at the eaves as ice dams, potentially causing water backup under shingles. We evaluate your current ventilation (soffit vents, ridge vents) and can install a balanced system to regulate temperature, protect your roof structure, and improve energy efficiency.

For our local climate, we prioritize impact-resistant and algae-resistant asphalt shingles rated for high winds, which are excellent for most homes. For properties directly on the water, we also discuss more durable options like metal roofing, which excels at shedding snow and resisting salt corrosion. During our consultation, we'll review your budget, home's style, and exposure to recommend the most resilient and suitable material for long-term protection.
