Question Answers
What causes roof flashing to separate in Alexandria homes, and how is it fixed?
In our area, flashing separation is often caused by thermal expansion/contraction, high winds, or improper initial installation. At Gunn Home Improvement, we fix it by carefully removing the compromised flashing, preparing the roof deck, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, weather-resistant caulking to create a long-lasting watertight barrier at critical roof joints.
I'm finding granules in my gutters. Is this a serious problem for my Alexandria home?
Some granule loss is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss, especially after storms common to Central Louisiana, can signal advanced wear. We perform a thorough inspection to determine if the underlying asphalt is exposed, which compromises UV protection. Based on our findings, we'll recommend either targeted shingle replacement or discuss a full roof replacement to ensure your home stays protected.
How do you prevent these common local roofing issues from recurring after a repair?
Our prevention strategy starts with using premium, impact-resistant materials suited for our climate. For flashing, we ensure proper overlap and sealing techniques. For granule loss concerns, we install quality shingles with strong adhesive strips. We also provide homeowners with a maintenance checklist and are always available for annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become major, costly problems.
