Roof Craft | General Contractors & Roofing in San Jose, CA 95123

In San Jose's strong sun, look for shingles that are curling, cracking, losing granules (which look like dark sand in your gutters), or appearing faded and brittle. These are clear signs of UV degradation. We recommend a professional inspection, as early repair can prevent leaks and more extensive damage.

Common signs in our area include unexplained spikes in your energy bill, damp spots or mold in your attic, a musty smell, or ice damming in rare cold snaps (which indicates heat loss from below). A Roof Craft inspection can identify ventilation issues or leaks that are allowing moisture to compromise your insulation's effectiveness.

For longevity against sun and occasional rain, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with high UV ratings, cool roofing materials to reflect heat, or durable tile. Proper attic ventilation is also critical to managing heat and moisture. We can advise on the best material and system for your specific home to improve durability and energy efficiency.
