Granule loss is a common issue here due to our coastal weather, including salt air, strong sun, and freeze-thaw cycles. These granules protect the asphalt in the shingle from UV rays. Significant loss, especially in gutters or downspouts, indicates aging shingles and can lead to faster deterioration, leaks, and reduced fire resistance. It's a sign your roof may need an inspection and potential repair or replacement to prevent further damage.

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof's surface cold and even. We recommend ensuring your attic is well-insulated to minimize heat escape, and that soffit and ridge vents are clear for airflow. Additionally, keeping gutters clean before winter is crucial. If dams are already a recurring problem, a professional evaluation of your roofing and ventilation system is the best step to identify and fix the underlying cause.

First, safely check your attic for signs of water stains, mold, or daylight peeking through. Then, call for a professional inspection. Our team at Vitti Mario Roofing & Siding provides thorough, no-obligation assessments. We'll identify any compromised shingles, damaged underlayment, or weak spots in your roof's system and provide a clear, honest recommendation for repair or replacement to protect your Mamaroneck home from further water intrusion and structural issues.
