Granule loss is common here due to our wet, windy weather and the natural aging of asphalt shingles. The granules protect against UV rays and add fire resistance. Significant loss, often seen in gutters or downspouts, exposes the asphalt layer, leading to faster deterioration and potential leaks. It's a sign your roof may need professional evaluation for repair or replacement to prevent water damage.

Roof valleys channel a high volume of rainwater and debris, making them a prime spot for leaks, especially with our heavy Gig Harbor rains. Leaks often occur due to worn flashing, cracked sealant, or improper installation. Our fix involves a detailed inspection, replacing or resealing the flashing with durable, waterproof materials, and ensuring the valley is clear and properly reinforced to handle our local downpours effectively.

In many cases, a leaking valley can be repaired without a full roof replacement. The key is a prompt, professional assessment. We isolate the damaged section, address the underlying cause (like compromised flashing), and perform a targeted repair. This approach can save Gig Harbor homeowners significant cost and extend the life of their existing roof, provided the rest of the roofing system is in sound condition.
