Not necessarily. Some granule loss is normal over time, especially after a major storm, but excessive loss is a sign of aging shingles. For Charlevoix homeowners, we start with a thorough, no-obligation inspection. We'll assess the extent of the granule loss, check for underlying damage, and determine if a targeted repair or a section replacement can solve the problem, saving you money. We only recommend a full replacement when it's truly the most cost-effective and protective long-term solution for your home.

Charlevoix's freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow loads put tremendous stress on skylight seals and flashings, making them a common leak source. A simple re-caulking is often a temporary fix. Our approach is to properly diagnose the root cause—whether it's failed flashing, a compromised seal, or ice dam-related water intrusion. We then perform a permanent repair by replacing or re-installing the flashing system with premium materials designed to withstand our local climate, ensuring a watertight seal for years to come.

Look for a roofer with deep local experience. They should understand our specific weather challenges and building styles. Always verify they are fully licensed and insured for your protection. Ask for local references and examples of past work in the area. A trustworthy roofer will provide a detailed, written estimate and clearly explain the scope of work, from addressing granule loss or a skylight leak to a full replacement, without high-pressure sales tactics. We're proud to meet all these criteria as your Charlevoix neighbors.
