Yes, granule loss is a sign of shingle wear and aging, which is common in our area. Those granules protect the shingle from UV rays. Significant loss can lead to faster deterioration, leaks, and reduced roof life. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss repair or replacement options to protect your home.

First, safely document any visible damage from the ground, like dents on gutters or siding. Then, contact a local roofer like Bauer Roofing for a thorough, no-obligation inspection. We'll check for cracked or bruised shingles, a common issue after Seneca hailstorms, and provide a detailed assessment to help you navigate insurance claims if necessary.

It depends on the damage's extent and your roof's age. For isolated damage on a newer roof, a precise repair is often possible. However, if the hail impact is widespread or the roof is older, a replacement might be more cost-effective and reliable for long-term protection. We'll give you an honest, expert recommendation tailored to your Seneca home's specific situation.
