Questions and Answers
What should I do if I see granules from my shingles in my gutters here in Cumming?
Granule loss is a common sign of aging shingles in our area. While some loss is normal, excessive amounts can indicate your roof's protective layer is wearing thin, leaving it vulnerable to sun and storm damage. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the granule loss and the overall condition of your shingles to determine if repairs or a replacement are needed to prevent leaks.
Why is flashing separation a frequent problem for Cumming roofs, and how is it fixed?
Flashing—the metal strips sealing joints around chimneys, vents, and skylights—can separate due to thermal expansion and contraction from our Georgia temperature swings, or from improper installation. When separated, it creates a direct path for water. Our inspection identifies loose or failed flashing. Repair typically involves carefully removing the compromised section, sealing the underlying area, and installing new, properly secured flashing to restore a watertight seal.
How often should I get a roof inspection in the Cumming area?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two to three years, and always after a major storm with high winds or hail. Given our local issues with granule loss and flashing failure, regular check-ups allow us to catch and address minor problems early. This proactive maintenance is the most cost-effective way to extend your roof's lifespan and avoid unexpected emergency repairs.
