Hess Roofing Co | Roofing Services in Charleston, WV 25314

In our area, nail pops are often caused by the natural expansion and contraction of your roof deck due to temperature swings and humidity. A popped nail can break the shingle's seal, leading to leaks. Our fix involves carefully removing the old nail, sealing the hole, and securing the shingle with a new, properly placed nail and sealant to match the surrounding roof and prevent future issues.

Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss, especially after storms common here, can signal advanced wear. Granules protect shingles from UV rays. We'll inspect to determine if it's localized or widespread. Often, targeted repairs can address early-stage loss, but significant loss may indicate it's time for a replacement to avoid compromised protection against our weather.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Our seasonal changes—from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles—can accelerate wear on flashing, seals, and shingles. A routine check by our team helps catch small issues like early granule loss or nail pops before they turn into costly leaks or interior damage.
