Finding those black granules (from your asphalt shingles) in your gutters is a common sign of wear we see throughout Cleveland. It's often accelerated by our seasonal temperature swings and storms. While some loss is normal over time, excessive granule loss exposes the asphalt to UV rays, leading to cracking and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss repair or replacement options to protect your home.

That sudden leak is frequently caused by lifted or damaged flashing—the metal pieces sealing joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Cleveland's strong lake-effect winds can pry flashing loose over time. This creates an immediate entry point for water. Our repair process involves resecuring or replacing the compromised flashing with proper sealing techniques to restore a watertight seal and prevent interior damage.

Our goal is always to recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your Cleveland home. For isolated issues like a small section of granule loss or a single lifted flashing point, a targeted repair is often sufficient. However, if an inspection reveals widespread aging or systemic failure, a full replacement may be the wiser investment to avoid recurring problems. We provide a clear, detailed assessment so you can make an informed decision.
