Alpha Roofing | Roofing Services in Sacramento, CA 95831

Sun damage in our climate often shows as severe granule loss, making shingles look bald, or deep cracking and curling at the edges. Normal wear is more uniform. The south and west-facing slopes see the most damage. We recommend a professional inspection, especially before summer, to assess the roof's integrity and prevent leaks.

First, check from the ground for missing shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. Look for debris or granules in gutters. Inside your attic, check for daylight coming through or any new water stains. Don't climb on the roof yourself. Call us for a safe, thorough inspection; we can often secure a tarp to prevent further damage before repairs.

We recommend impact-resistant, Class 4 asphalt shingles or certain metal roofing options. These are rated for hail and high winds and often have reflective coatings or special granules to reflect UV rays and resist thermal cracking. The right choice depends on your home's structure and budget. We can explain the best options for your specific situation during a free estimate.
