That black grit is likely granules from your asphalt shingles washing away, a common issue we see in Atlantic. Granule loss exposes the asphalt to the sun, causing it to dry out, crack, and age prematurely. It's a sign your roof is wearing out. We recommend a professional roof inspection to assess the extent of the damage and discuss options, which could range from a targeted repair to a reroofing or replacement plan to prevent leaks.

Rusty flashing is a major culprit for leaks around chimneys, vents, and skylights. The most reliable fix is to have the corroded sections replaced entirely with new, rust-resistant metal. During a roof repair or replacement, our team at Vern's will carefully remove the old flashing, inspect the underlying decking for water damage, and install new flashing sealed properly to create a watertight barrier, protecting your home for years to come.

In many Atlantic homes, if issues like widespread granule loss, multiple leaking areas, or advanced flashing rust are present, a full roof replacement is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. Repairing isolated spots on a roof that's failing overall can lead to recurring problems. During our inspection, we'll give you an honest assessment. If over 30% of the roof is compromised or it's near the end of its lifespan, a new roof installation will provide better protection and value.
