In Middletown, granule loss is often caused by normal weathering, severe storms, or simply the age of the asphalt shingles. While some granule loss is expected over time, excessive loss exposes the underlying asphalt to UV rays, speeding up deterioration and leading to leaks. It's a key early warning sign we look for during inspections. If you notice granules in your gutters or bald spots on your shingles, it's time for a professional assessment to prevent more costly damage.

Chimney flashing leaks are common here due to the constant expansion and contraction of materials with our seasonal temperature swings, which can break the waterproof seal. Poor original installation or storm damage can also be factors. Our repair process involves carefully removing the old flashing, inspecting the chimney structure for any underlying rot or damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with high-grade sealants. This creates a durable, watertight barrier specific to your home's needs.

For Middletown homeowners, we recommend a visual check each spring and fall. Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles, especially after heavy wind. Check for any sagging areas on the roof plane. Inside your attic, look for signs of water stains or daylight coming through the roof boards. Pay special attention to areas around chimneys, vents, and valleys. If you see anything concerning, don't wait—schedule a professional inspection. Catching small issues early is the best way to avoid major repairs.
