After a strong storm, check for missing, cracked, or lifted shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges. Look for granule loss in your gutters (it looks like coarse black sand), which exposes the asphalt underneath to sun damage. Inside your attic, look for daylight through the roof boards or any new water stains. If you see any of these signs, it's time for a professional inspection to prevent minor damage from turning into a major leak.

Shingle granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. When high winds and hail in the Harrisburg area knock them loose, the shingles deteriorate faster, becoming brittle and prone to cracking. This shortens your roof's lifespan and compromises its waterproofing. We assess the extent of the loss. For isolated spots, a repair may suffice. However, widespread granule loss often indicates the shingles are failing, and a roof replacement with impact-resistant shingles may be the most cost-effective, long-term solution for our climate.
