CentiMark Corporation | Roofing Services in Mechanicsburg, PA 17055

In our area, granule loss and nail pops are often caused by temperature fluctuations, hail, and aging materials. Granules protect shingles from UV rays, and their loss exposes the asphalt to premature wear. Nail pops occur when roofing nails back out due to the expansion and contraction of the roof deck and framing wood, a common issue with our seasonal weather changes. An inspection by our team can determine the root cause and the best course of action.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Isolated granule loss might be addressed with targeted repairs. However, widespread loss is a sign of advanced wear and often indicates the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan, making replacement the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We provide a thorough, honest assessment to recommend the right option for your Mechanicsburg home's protection and value.

We fix nail pops by carefully removing the old, raised nail, sealing the hole with roofing cement, and then installing a new, longer roofing nail in a fresh location nearby, following best practices for our local climate. This secures the shingle properly to the deck. For widespread issues, we may recommend an evaluation of the underlying deck to ensure it's stable, preventing future pops and maintaining a watertight seal.
