After a storm with strong winds, check for visible shingles that are cracked, curled, or completely missing. You might also see loose granules in your gutters or around your downspouts, which is a sign the shingle's protective layer has been compromised. Inside, look for any new water stains on ceilings or in the attic. If you spot any of these issues, it's wise to call for a professional inspection to prevent minor damage from turning into a major leak.

Not necessarily. Some granule loss over time is normal, especially after a severe weather event. However, excessive granule loss concentrated in specific areas, or granules accumulating in your gutters, indicates advanced wear. For Loogootee homeowners, this often means the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan or were damaged by wind. A professional assessment from our team can determine if a repair in the affected section is sufficient or if a broader replacement is the most cost-effective, long-term solution.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend scheduling an annual roof inspection, especially before and after storm season. Ensuring your shingles are properly sealed and fastened, keeping trees trimmed back from the roof line, and clearing debris from your gutters can all help. When it is time for a replacement, choosing impact-resistant or high-wind-rated shingles specifically designed for our regional weather patterns provides the best defense against Loogootee's frequent wind events.
