In Eugene, granule loss and shingle curling are often caused by our specific climate. Wet winters can trap moisture, while intense summer sun bakes the shingles, causing them to dry out, become brittle, and lose their protective granules. This thermal cycling weakens the asphalt. A professional inspection can determine if it's localized wear or a sign your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.

It depends on the extent of the damage. Isolated areas of granule loss might be repairable. However, widespread loss significantly reduces a shingle's ability to reflect UV rays and protect against water, which is critical for Eugene's rainy seasons. We'll provide a clear assessment, but if granules are missing from valleys or gutters and curling is widespread, a replacement is often the most cost-effective, long-term solution.

For durability against our rain and sun, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with a strong algae-resistant warranty or architectural-grade shingles. These are thicker and offer better protection against granule loss and curling. For some homes, metal roofing is an excellent long-term option as it handles temperature swings and heavy rain superbly. We'll help you choose the best material for your home's style and budget.
