Yes, finding excessive shingle granules in your gutters is a common sign of wear, especially after our local hail and storm seasons. Those granules protect your shingles from UV rays. When they're lost, your roof becomes more vulnerable to leaks and heat damage. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the extent of the granule loss and determine if a repair or replacement is needed to prevent further issues like decking rot.

Absolutely. Properly functioning gutters are your roof's first line of defense. When gutters are clogged, damaged, or improperly installed, water can overflow and seep under your roof's edge or run down your fascia and siding. This constant moisture exposure is a primary cause of roof decking rot here in our humid climate. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and installation services ensure water is channeled safely away from your home's structure.

A roof repair addresses a specific, localized problem, like fixing a leak around a vent pipe or replacing a few damaged shingles. Reroofing involves installing a new layer of shingles over your existing roof, which can be a cost-effective option if your decking is still sound. However, if an inspection reveals widespread granule loss or underlying decking rot—common issues we see—a full roof replacement is often the safer, longer-lasting solution to ensure your home is fully protected.
