This is a common local issue. The repeated freeze-thaw cycles of our winters can cause existing minor cracks or worn sealant to expand. When the snow melts, water finds these new pathways. A professional inspection from Dunkel Roofing can identify these vulnerable areas—like around flashing, vents, or in valleys—before the snow accumulates, allowing for proactive repair.

Granule loss is often accelerated by our region's temperature extremes and weather exposure. The granules protect the shingle mat from UV rays. Significant loss, especially in patches, indicates the shingles are aging and their waterproofing layer is compromised. It's a key sign you may need a repair or replacement soon to prevent leaks. We can assess the extent of the loss and recommend the best course of action.

We recommend both, but a pre-winter inspection is most crucial for prevention. Checking your roof in late fall allows us to seal any potential leaks, secure loose shingles, and clear debris from valleys before snow and ice accumulate. A post-thaw inspection then confirms the roof's performance and addresses any new issues revealed by the melting snow. This two-step approach is the best way to maintain a healthy roof in our climate.
