Titan Roofing | Roofing Services in Cranberry Township, PA 16066

Granule loss is often caused by normal weathering, hail, or aging shingles, which is common in our Pennsylvania climate. While some loss is expected over time, excessive loss exposes the asphalt to UV rays, leading to faster deterioration. It's a sign your roof may be nearing the end of its service life. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the extent and discuss repair or replacement options to prevent leaks.

Those dark streaks are typically Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. We use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically designed for roofs. This method kills the algae and washes it away without the high pressure that can damage shingle granules. It's a safe, effective way to restore your home's curb appeal and protect your roof's integrity.

The decision depends on the roof's age, the extent of damage (like widespread granule loss), and the number of layers present. If repairs are becoming frequent or if over 30% of the roof is compromised, a replacement is often more cost-effective long-term. We provide a detailed, honest assessment to help you make the best choice for your home's protection and value.
