Those black granules are from your asphalt shingles. In our area, the freeze-thaw cycles, intense summer sun, and hail can accelerate granule loss, which is a sign of aging or weather-damaged shingles. It reduces your roof's UV protection and shortens its lifespan. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the loss and determine if repairs or a replacement are needed to prevent further damage.

We advise against going on your roof yourself, especially after a storm. It can be slippery and structurally compromised. In Detroit Lakes, storm debris like fallen branches can puncture shingles or trap moisture, leading to leaks and rot. For your safety and to prevent accidental damage, it's best to call us. We'll safely remove the debris and perform a thorough inspection for any hidden damage you might not see from the ground.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection, especially in spring and fall, to check for loose shingles, worn sealant, and weak spots. Based on our assessment, we might recommend targeted repairs or upgrading to impact-resistant shingles designed to better withstand hail and high winds common in our region. A small investment in prevention can save you from major, costly repairs down the line.
