Yes, it can be. Granule loss is a sign of shingle wear, which is accelerated by our local weather extremes like sun, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the wear and determine if a repair or replacement is needed to prevent leaks and maintain your roof's lifespan.

Absolutely. Often, gutter overflow in Boston is caused by a combination of clogged gutters and improper pitch or sizing, not just the downspouts. As roofers, we check that the gutter system is correctly aligned to your roof's edge and has adequate capacity for our area's rainfall. We can adjust or upgrade your gutters to ensure proper drainage away from your foundation.

The most frequent issue is water damage stemming from the combination of granule loss on aging shingles and inadequate drainage. This often starts subtly with granules in gutters and minor overflow, but can lead to leaks in attics and walls. Our proactive approach addresses both the roof surface and the drainage system to prevent small problems from becoming major repairs.
