DRK Construction | Roofing Services in Montgomery, IN 47940

In Montgomery, granule loss is often caused by prolonged sun exposure, severe storms, or simply the natural aging of asphalt shingles. When granules wear off, the underlying asphalt is exposed to UV rays, which can lead to cracking and leaks. At DRK Construction, we first perform a detailed inspection to assess the extent of the damage. For localized areas, we can replace the affected shingles with color-matched, high-quality materials. If the loss is widespread, we may recommend a full roof replacement to ensure lasting protection and prevent future water damage to your home's structure.

Montgomery's freeze-thaw cycles and temperature fluctuations can cause roofing materials to expand and contract, leading to flashing separation around chimneys, vents, and roof valleys. This separation creates vulnerable points where water can seep in. Our repair process involves carefully removing the old, failed flashing, inspecting the underlying deck for any water damage or rot, and installing new, properly sealed metal flashing. We use corrosion-resistant materials and expert sealing techniques to create a watertight barrier that can better withstand our local weather, preventing leaks and protecting your home's interior.

We recommend a simple visual check each spring and fall. Look for an accumulation of dark, sand-like granules in your gutters or downspouts, which indicates shingle granule loss. Also, inspect the areas where different roof planes meet or where protrusions like chimneys and vents are located. Check for any visible gaps, bends, or rust spots on the metal flashing. Inside your attic, look for any signs of water stains or daylight coming through the roof deck. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's best to call DRK Construction for a professional assessment. Early detection allows for simpler, more cost-effective repairs.
