In our area, granule loss is often accelerated by temperature extremes, freeze-thaw cycles, and aging shingles. Granules protect the asphalt from UV rays, so their loss leads to faster deterioration. We start with a detailed inspection to determine the cause and extent. If localized, we can often perform targeted repairs. However, widespread granule loss typically indicates the shingles are at the end of their lifespan, and we'll recommend a replacement with high-quality, impact-resistant shingles better suited for our local climate.

First, prioritize safety and avoid going on the roof yourself. From the ground, look for visible signs like missing shingles, lifted flashing, or debris. Your next step should be to call us for a professional storm damage inspection. We'll thoroughly assess your roof for wind damage that isn't always obvious from the ground, such as broken seals or weakened underlayment. We also help document the damage for your insurance claim, providing the detailed reports and photos often needed for a smooth process with insurers familiar with PA storm claims.

Given our local issues with wind and granule loss, we recommend and install architectural asphalt shingles with a high wind rating (often Class F or G, 130+ mph) and enhanced algae resistance. For areas prone to particularly high winds, we can discuss options like synthetic underlayment for added protection. The key is a proper installation with correct nailing patterns and sealing, which we strictly adhere to, ensuring the entire system performs as designed to protect your home through our region's storms and seasonal changes.
