Those black granules are a protective coating from your asphalt shingles. Finding some is normal over time, but excessive loss—common here due to hail, heavy rain, and temperature swings—exposes the shingle mat to UV damage and shortens your roof's life. It's a sign your roof is aging and losing its weatherproofing. We recommend an inspection to assess the extent of the loss and prevent potential leaks.

Flashing separation is a frequent issue in Flint due to thermal expansion and contraction. As temperatures fluctuate, the metal flashing and the materials it's sealed to (like brick or shingles) move at different rates, breaking the sealant bond. Once separated, it creates a direct path for water into your attic. Our repair service involves removing old sealant, properly resecuring the flashing, and applying high-grade, flexible sealants designed for our local climate to create a durable, watertight seal.

Not always! For localized granule loss or a few separated flashing points, targeted repairs are often a cost-effective solution. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to determine the scope of the damage. If granule loss is isolated and the shingles are otherwise sound, or if only specific flashings have failed, we can perform precise repairs. This approach addresses the immediate problem, protects your home, and can significantly extend the overall life of your existing roof, saving you money.
