Noticing granules in your gutters is a common sign of aging shingles, especially after severe weather here in Hummelstown. While some granule loss is normal over time, excessive loss can expose the asphalt layer to UV damage and reduce your roof's lifespan. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection with PA Roofing. Our experts can assess the extent of the granule loss, check for underlying issues, and advise whether a repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution to protect your home.

Flashing separation is a frequent issue for Hummelstown homes, often caused by thermal expansion and contraction or improper installation. When the metal flashing pulls away from roof joints, chimneys, or vents, it creates a direct path for water leaks. PA Roofing specializes in diagnosing and repairing faulty flashing. Our process involves carefully removing the compromised material, preparing the surface, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with high-quality sealants to create a durable, watertight seal that lasts.

This is a key question for any homeowner. The decision depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the location of the issue. For isolated problems like a small section of damaged flashing or a few missing shingles, a repair is often sufficient. However, if granule loss is widespread, leaks are recurring, or the roof is nearing the end of its typical lifespan (20-25 years for asphalt shingles), a replacement may be the more reliable and economical long-term choice. Our team at PA Roofing provides honest, detailed evaluations to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
