Granule loss is a common issue here due to our intense summer sun, hail, and freeze-thaw cycles, which accelerate shingle aging. While some loss is normal over time, excessive granule wash-off exposes the asphalt to UV damage, leading to cracks and leaks. If you're seeing a significant amount in your gutters, it's a key sign your roof's protective layer is failing and needs a professional inspection from Lowe Roofing to prevent further damage.

Ice dams form due to heat loss from your attic melting snow, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. The best prevention is a combination of proper attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a uniform roof temperature. Lowe Roofing can assess your current setup, recommend improvements, and ensure your roof system is properly sealed. For existing dams, we offer safe, professional removal to prevent water from backing up under your shingles and causing interior damage.

It depends on the extent and location of the damage. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to evaluate the roof deck's integrity, the condition of the underlayment, and how widespread the granule loss is. Often, localized damage from ice dams can be repaired. However, if granule loss is severe across the roof, compromising its waterproofing and UV protection, a replacement may be the most cost-effective, long-term solution. We provide a clear, detailed estimate for either option.
