That grit is likely lost granules from your asphalt shingles, a common issue in our area due to sun exposure and storm activity. While some loss is normal over time, significant granule loss exposes the asphalt matting to UV rays, causing it to dry out, crack, and fail prematurely. It's a sign your roof's protective layer is wearing thin. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss repair or replacement options before leaks develop.

Flashing separation at chimneys, vents, and skylights is frequent here due to thermal expansion and contraction from our temperature swings. The constant movement can break the sealant or pull nails. We fix this by carefully removing the compromised flashing, inspecting the underlying deck for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing. We use high-grade sealants and proper fastening techniques to create a flexible, watertight seal that can withstand our local climate, preventing costly interior water damage.

In many cases, especially with localized issues like flashing failure or storm damage to a specific area, a professional repair is a perfectly sound and cost-effective solution. We will conduct a thorough inspection of your entire Rahway roof system. If the overall structure is sound and the damage is isolated, we'll match new shingles to your existing ones and perform a precise repair. Our goal is always to recommend the most prudent solution for your home and budget, never an unnecessary full replacement.
