Granule loss on asphalt shingles in Lexington is often caused by aging, hail, or heavy rain. These granules protect the shingle from UV rays and add fire resistance. When they wash away, typically visible in gutters or downspouts, the shingle's asphalt layer is exposed and deteriorates faster. This can lead to premature aging, leaks, and higher energy costs. A professional inspection can determine if spot repairs or a replacement is needed to protect your home.

Flashing, the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys, corrodes over time due to moisture and temperature cycles common in our climate. Corroded flashing is a major cause of leaks in Lexington homes. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged sections, preparing the area to prevent future moisture intrusion, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with professional-grade materials. This targeted repair restores a critical water barrier on your roof.

Beyond visible granule loss or rust, Lexington homeowners should watch for interior signs like water stains on ceilings or in attics, especially after storms. Externally, look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles, or sagging areas. Given our local issues with granule loss and flashing corrosion, we recommend a professional inspection every few years or after any severe weather event. We provide free, thorough assessments to identify potential problems before they become major repairs.
