Yes, that black grit is likely lost granules from your asphalt shingles. In El Paso's intense sun, shingles can degrade and shed these protective granules prematurely. This loss exposes the underlying asphalt to UV rays, accelerating wear and leading to cracks, leaks, and a shortened roof lifespan. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the granule loss and determine if repairs or replacement are needed to protect your home.

Absolutely. While it could be clogged gutters, frequent overflow is often a sign of improper roof drainage or gutter system design. In El Paso, where heavy rains can come suddenly, an undersized or poorly sloped gutter system can't handle the volume, leading to water backing up under your roof edges and causing rot, fascia damage, and foundation issues. We can evaluate your entire roof drainage system to ensure it's correctly sized and installed for our local rainfall patterns.

The most important step is scheduling bi-annual professional inspections—once before our hot summer and again before the rainy season. Our experts look for early signs of sun damage like curling shingles and granule loss, check for proper sealant integrity, and ensure all flashings and gutters are clear and secure. This proactive approach catches small issues like those caused by granule loss or poor drainage before they become major, costly repairs, saving you money and extending your roof's life.
