That black grit is likely granules from your asphalt shingles. In our area, factors like intense sun, temperature swings, and occasional severe weather can accelerate granule loss. While some loss is normal as shingles age, excessive loss exposes the asphalt to UV damage, leading to cracks and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the loss and determine if targeted repairs or a replacement are needed to protect your roof's integrity.

Roof flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is crucial for waterproofing. In Jacksonville, common causes of separation include thermal expansion and contraction from our heat, improper initial installation, or wear from wind and rain. When flashing fails, it's a direct path for water into your home. Our repair service involves removing the compromised flashing, preparing the surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing with proper seals to prevent future separation and water intrusion.

It depends on the extent and location of the damage. For localized issues like a small area of granule loss or a single separated flashing point, a precise repair is often a cost-effective solution. We'll conduct a thorough inspection of your entire roof system. If the problems are widespread or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be the more reliable, long-term investment. We'll provide a clear, honest assessment and recommend the best option for your Jacksonville home.
