Yes, significant granule loss is a common sign of aging or storm-damaged asphalt shingles here in St. Louis. Those granules protect the shingle mat from UV rays and provide fire resistance. When they wear off, your roof becomes more vulnerable to sun damage and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to determine if targeted repairs or a full replacement is needed to prevent further deterioration.

Hail damage in St. Louis often appears as random, dark spots or bruises on shingles where the granules have been knocked off, or as small dents in metal fixtures. It's not always obvious from the ground. The best step is to have a qualified local roofer like us perform a thorough, safe inspection. We can document any damage for your insurance company and provide a clear repair plan to restore your roof's protective ability.

It depends on the extent and pattern of the damage. Missouri hail storms can be severe but sometimes only affect specific roof sections. We carefully assess the damage's severity and dispersion. If the damage is isolated, a repair might be sufficient. However, if it's widespread or affects critical areas, a replacement is often the more reliable, long-term solution. We'll explain all options so you can make an informed decision for your home.
