Those granules are a protective coating from your asphalt shingles. In Cleveland, granule loss is often accelerated by our harsh weather—freeze-thaw cycles, hail, and strong winds wear them down. While some loss over time is normal, excessive loss exposes the asphalt to UV rays, causing it to brittle and crack. It's a sign your roof may need an inspection. We can assess the extent of the damage and recommend repairs or a replacement with shingles rated for our climate.

Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof. The water refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam that traps moisture, which can seep under shingles. In Cleveland, this is a major issue that leads to leaks and structural damage. Proper ventilation, combined with adequate insulation, keeps your attic temperature consistent with the outdoors, preventing snow melt and ice dam formation. We evaluate your current system and install balanced intake and exhaust ventilation to solve this problem.

We provide targeted solutions for our area's specific problems. For granule loss and storm damage, we offer thorough inspections, expert repairs, and complete roof replacements using durable, impact-resistant materials. To combat ventilation issues and ice dams, we specialize in installing ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic fans to create a balanced system. Our comprehensive approach ensures your roof is not just covered, but optimally performing to withstand Cleveland's seasons, protecting your home and improving energy efficiency.
