Cavco Roofing Siding | Reliable Roof Repair in Brooklyn, NY

Yes, that black grit is shingle granules, and it's a common sign of wear we see in Brooklyn. Granule loss exposes the asphalt underneath to UV rays, causing it to dry out and crack faster. This significantly shortens your roof's lifespan. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the loss and determine if targeted repairs or a replacement are needed to prevent leaks.

In Brooklyn, flashing separation is often caused by temperature fluctuations, settling of the house, or improper initial installation. When flashing pulls away, it creates a direct path for water into your home's interior. Our repair involves carefully removing the compromised section, inspecting the underlying deck for rot, and installing new, properly sealed flashing integrated with your existing roofing materials to restore a watertight seal.

Look for active water intrusion inside your home, like stains on ceilings or walls, especially after rain. Significant sections of missing shingles or visibly sagging roof deck are also urgent signs. For granule loss or minor flashing issues, it's still important to schedule a prompt inspection. Addressing these problems quickly prevents them from turning into emergency leaks, which can cause much more expensive interior damage.
