Wehner Roofing & Tinning Co | Roofing Services in Dayton, OH 45439

Dayton's seasonal shifts and precipitation can accelerate corrosion on metal flashings, especially around chimneys, vents, and valleys. We fix this by first removing the corroded material, preparing the underlying surface, and installing new, high-quality flashing. For critical areas, we often recommend and install more corrosion-resistant metals like copper or coated aluminum to provide a longer-lasting seal and better protect your home from water intrusion.

Finding some granules, especially after a new roof installs, is normal. However, excessive granule loss in Dayton is a common sign of aging or weather-worn asphalt shingles. This loss exposes the underlying mat to UV rays and moisture, speeding up deterioration. We can assess the extent of the loss. Often, targeted repairs or a section replacement can solve the problem. If the loss is widespread, we'll discuss your options to ensure your roof maintains its protective ability through our Ohio seasons.

The most impactful step is scheduling a professional roof inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Our inspections focus on the problem areas you mentioned: we check flashings for early signs of corrosion or separation and examine shingles for curling, cracking, or granule loss. Catching these issues early allows for simple, affordable repairs. We also recommend keeping your gutters clean to prevent water backup, which can contribute to both flashing and shingle problems.
