The first signs are often found in your gutters and downspouts, which will collect an unusual amount of sand-like granules, especially after heavy rain or wind. On the roof itself, you may notice dark, uneven patches where the asphalt underlayer is exposed. Granule loss accelerates aging and reduces protection from UV rays, so it's important to have it assessed by a professional like us to determine if a repair or replacement is needed.

Our climate's freeze-thaw cycles, high winds, and temperature swings cause constant expansion and contraction, which can loosen or crack the sealant and fasteners around flashing. We fix it by first removing the compromised sections, inspecting the underlying deck for moisture damage, and then installing new, high-grade flashing. We use specialized sealing techniques and corrosion-resistant materials to create a durable, watertight seal that's built to handle local weather stresses.

It depends on the extent and cause of the damage. Isolated granule loss from a specific incident can often be repaired with a section replacement. However, if the loss is widespread and indicates the shingles are at the end of their lifespan—common in our area—a full replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide a honest, detailed assessment to recommend the best option for your home's protection and your budget.
