Yes, this is a common sign of shingle granule loss, which we frequently see in our area. Those granules protect your shingles from UV rays. When they wash away, your roof becomes vulnerable to accelerated aging and leaks. We recommend a professional roof inspection. Depending on the severity, we may suggest targeted roof repair or, if the loss is widespread, a discussion about reroofing or replacement to prevent water damage to your home's structure.

Absolutely. Flashing corrosion around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a primary cause of leaks in Elgin homes. Our metal flashing is constantly exposed to moisture and temperature swings, causing it to rust and fail. During a roof inspection, we meticulously check all flashing. Roof repair for this issue involves carefully removing the old, corroded material and installing new, properly sealed flashing to create a watertight barrier and stop the leak at its source.

Proper gutters are your roof's first line of defense. In Elgin, clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under the roof edge and siding, which accelerates flashing corrosion and can lead to wood rot. Our gutter installation and replacement services ensure water is channeled efficiently away from your home. By adding or upgrading gutters, we protect your roof's edge, fascia, and foundation, directly combating the moisture issues that cause many local roofing problems.
