Yes, granule loss is a common sign of aging shingles in our area. Those granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. Once they're gone, your roof becomes vulnerable to faster deterioration and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and discuss repair or replacement options before a minor issue becomes a major expense.

Lowell's humidity and weather extremes accelerate rust on standard metal flashing. Rust compromises the watertight seal around chimneys, skylights, and vents. Our solution involves removing the rusted flashing and replacing it with superior, corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel or aluminum. We ensure a precise, watertight installation to prevent the leaks that rusted flashing inevitably causes.

It depends on the extent and pattern of the damage. For isolated areas, a skilled repair with matching shingles is often possible. However, if granule loss is widespread or your roof is near the end of its typical lifespan, a full replacement may be the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution for your home. We provide honest assessments to recommend the best choice for your situation and budget.
