Equinox Contracting Company | Roofing Services in Allentown, PA 18106

Yes, granule loss is a common issue here due to our freeze-thaw cycles and occasional severe weather. Those granules protect your shingles from UV rays. Significant loss can shorten your roof's lifespan and lead to leaks. Equinox can perform a thorough inspection to assess the damage and recommend a targeted repair or a full replacement if needed to prevent further deterioration.

This is a classic local problem. Snow and ice can form an 'ice dam' at your roof's edge, trapping meltwater behind it. That water can then seep under your shingles. Once the dam melts, the leak becomes apparent. Our team specializes in identifying the entry points, repairing the immediate damage, and improving attic insulation and ventilation—key factors in preventing future ice dams.

We recommend durable, impact-resistant asphalt shingles rated for our climate, or metal roofing for superior snow shedding and longevity. For flat or low-slope sections common on many Allentown homes, we use reinforced membrane systems. We'll help you choose materials that balance performance, aesthetics, and value, ensuring your new roof is built to handle our specific weather patterns for years to come.
