This is a common issue here due to our climate. Intense summer sun degrades shingles, while winter freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction, leading to cracking. Granule loss exposes the asphalt layer, accelerating wear. We inspect to determine if it's age-related or weather damage and recommend the best repair or replacement approach.

It depends on the extent. For isolated damage, we often perform targeted repairs. However, widespread granule loss or cracking across the roof surface usually indicates systemic failure, where a replacement is more cost-effective and reliable for long-term protection. We'll provide a clear assessment and honest recommendation.

We recommend durable, UV-resistant asphalt shingles with high ratings for impact resistance, which are well-suited for our sun and occasional hail. For specific situations, we also discuss options like architectural shingles or metal roofing. Our goal is to install a roof that performs reliably under local conditions for years.
