Guaranteed Exteriors | Roofing Services in Imperial, MO 63052

Those black granules are a protective layer from your asphalt shingles. Finding a small amount is normal over time, but excessive loss, especially after a storm, is a common issue here in Imperial. It means your shingles are aging prematurely and losing their ability to deflect UV rays and weather. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and discuss repair or replacement options to prevent leaks and more costly damage.

This is a frequent problem in our area due to intense downpours. Often, the gutter system itself is undersized or improperly pitched for your home's roof area. Our team at Guaranteed Exteriors will evaluate your current setup and likely recommend upgrading to a larger, more efficient gutter system or adding more downspouts. This ensures water is channeled away from your foundation properly, protecting your home's structural integrity and preventing basement moisture issues common in Missouri.

It depends on the scope and pattern of the damage. For isolated areas, such as those from a specific weather event, a skilled repair is often possible. However, if the granule loss is widespread and uniform across the roof, it typically indicates the shingles have reached the end of their service life, and a full replacement is the most reliable, long-term solution. We provide honest, detailed assessments so you can make an informed decision for your Imperial home.
