That black grit is likely lost asphalt shingle granules, a common local issue. While some granule loss is normal over time, excessive loss—especially after severe weather—exposes the asphalt to our strong Alabama sun, leading to faster deterioration. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the shingle integrity and determine if targeted repairs or a replacement are needed to prevent leaks.

Absolutely. Leaks at roof penetrations like chimneys, vents, and skylights are often caused by corroded or failed flashing. The humidity and temperature swings in Huntsville can accelerate metal corrosion. Our technicians meticulously inspect, repair, or replace compromised flashing with corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring a watertight seal to stop the leak and protect your home's interior.

Our Huntsville-focused inspection is thorough. We check for uneven or excessive granule loss on shingles, assess their remaining lifespan, and examine all flashing points—chimneys, valleys, vent pipes—for corrosion, cracks, or separation. We provide a clear, detailed report with photos and recommend only the necessary repairs, whether it's a section of shingles or new flashing, to address the root cause effectively.
