Arnold & Sons Exteriors | Roofing Services in Flint, MI 48506

Yes, granule loss and valley leaks are very common issues for Flint homeowners, often accelerated by our freeze-thaw cycles and severe weather. Granule loss signals aging shingles that can't properly protect your roof deck. Leaky valleys are critical because that's where water runoff is concentrated. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the full extent of the damage. For granule loss, a roof replacement with high-quality, impact-resistant shingles is often the most reliable long-term solution. For valley leaks, we repair or replace the underlying flashing and valley metal with precision to ensure a watertight seal, preventing further interior damage to your home.

Our roof inspection is a comprehensive evaluation designed to give you a clear picture of your roof's health. We don't just look from the ground; we conduct a safe, hands-on examination of the roof surface, checking shingles, flashing, vents, and seals. We inspect your gutters, soffits, and attic for signs of moisture, mold, or inadequate ventilation—common culprits for premature roof failure. After the inspection, we provide a detailed, written report with photos, explaining any issues we find, their urgency, and your repair or replacement options with transparent pricing. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make a confident decision.

While we always recommend repair when possible, replacement becomes the practical choice in a few key situations. If your gutters are frequently pulling away from the fascia, have multiple chronic leaks, or show significant rust and corrosion (common with older steel gutters), repairs may only be a temporary fix. We also recommend replacement if your gutters are undersized for your roof's pitch and area, leading to constant overflow during Flint's heavy rains. Upgrading to a larger, seamless aluminum or copper gutter system with proper downspouts can solve these problems, better protect your siding and foundation, and add decades of reliable service.
