Granule loss is a common sign of shingle aging and wear. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. When they wash off into your gutters, your shingles become brittle and more susceptible to cracking, which can lead to leaks, especially during our heavy rains. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and discuss repair or replacement options to safeguard your home.

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and even. During a roof replacement, we strongly recommend installing an ice & water shield along the eaves—a waterproof membrane that provides a critical backup layer of protection if an ice dam does form and water backs up under your shingles.

First, prioritize safety and call a professional. Attempting to chip away ice dams yourself can damage your roof and is dangerous. Contact us for an emergency inspection. We'll safely assess the damage, provide temporary mitigation to prevent further interior damage, and then develop a long-term repair plan that addresses the root cause, such as improving ventilation or replacing compromised roof sections.
