Dick's Custom Roofing | Roofing Services in Wheat Ridge, CO 80033

After high winds, check for visible signs like missing, cracked, or lifted shingles, especially on ridges and edges. Also, look in your gutters for an unusual amount of granules, which can indicate shingle wear from the storm. Inside your attic, check for daylight coming through the roof boards or any new moisture spots. If you see any of these signs, it's wise to call us for a professional inspection to prevent minor damage from turning into a major leak.

Yes, significant granule loss is a serious concern. These granules protect the asphalt in shingles from UV rays. In Wheat Ridge, common causes are the intense sun, thermal cycling, and hail or wind from storms. Once granules are lost, the shingles deteriorate much faster, leading to leaks and reduced lifespan. We can assess the extent of the loss and recommend targeted repairs or a full replacement if needed to safeguard your home's interior.

We recommend addressing suspected wind damage as soon as safely possible. Even a small tear or lifted shingle can allow wind-driven rain and moisture to infiltrate your roof deck and attic, leading to mold, wood rot, and insulation damage. Prompt repair from a local expert like us seals the breach, protects your home's structure, and can often prevent the need for more extensive, costly repairs down the line.
