Q&A
What causes shingles to lose granules, and why is it a problem for Jacksonville roofs?
In Jacksonville, our roofs face intense sun and heavy downpours, which accelerate the aging of asphalt shingles. Granule loss is a sign of this wear. The granules protect the asphalt from UV rays, so when they're gone, your shingles become brittle and can crack or curl, leading to leaks. We inspect for this early, often during our routine maintenance checks, and can recommend repairs or a timely replacement to prevent water damage to your decking and home interior.
How can I tell if my roof decking is rotting, and what does Curvin's do to fix it?
Signs of roof decking rot often appear inside your home before they're visible outside. Look for dark spots or sagging on your ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or feel for soft spots when walking on the roof (we don't recommend this yourself!). Our team conducts a thorough inspection, including in the attic. If we find rot, we safely remove the affected shingles and sheathing, treat the area to prevent mold, and install new, sturdy decking before completing a watertight roof repair or replacement, ensuring the structural integrity of your roof is restored.
As a Jacksonville homeowner, what's the best way to prevent these common roofing issues?
Proactive, local-focused maintenance is key. We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, especially after our severe storm seasons. We'll clear debris from valleys and gutters, check for damaged or missing shingles, and ensure your attic ventilation is adequate to prevent heat and moisture buildup that contributes to rot. Catching small problems early, like a few missing granules or a minor leak, can save you from costly decking replacement or a full roof overhaul down the line. Think of us as your partner in long-term roof health.
