States Roofing & Metal Company | Roofing Services in Montgomery, AL 36105

Loose ridge caps, the angled shingles along your roof's peak, often show as visible gaps, lifted edges, or missing fasteners. In Montgomery, this is common due to our intense summer heat, which causes roofing materials to expand and contract, and strong seasonal winds that can pry them loose. A professional inspection and secure reattachment from a local roofer like us is crucial to prevent water intrusion and interior damage.

Some granule loss is normal when shingles are new, but excessive loss is a serious warning sign, especially in our sunny climate. These granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. When they're gone, the shingles deteriorate faster, leading to cracks and leaks. We can assess the extent of the loss and recommend targeted repairs or a replacement with high-UV-resistance shingles to ensure your roof lasts.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Our local weather—with hail, high winds, and heavy rain—can cause subtle damage that worsens over time. A proactive inspection by our team can catch minor issues like a few loose shingles or early granule loss before they turn into major leaks, saving you significant money and stress.
