Zurn Ply Home Consulting | Roofing Services in Fort Collins, CO 80525

In Fort Collins, granule loss is commonly caused by hail storms, aging shingles, and normal wear from sun and wind. While some loss is expected over time, excessive granule loss exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, leading to faster deterioration. It's a sign your roof may be nearing the end of its lifespan or has sustained storm damage. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the severity and determine if repairs or a replacement are needed to prevent leaks.

The ridge cap is the highest point of your roof and takes the brunt of Fort Collins's strong winds and weather. Damage here is common and can compromise your roof's ventilation and waterproof seal. Our repair process involves carefully removing the damaged caps, inspecting the underlying decking for issues, and installing new, properly sealed ridge shingles. We ensure the repair matches your existing roof and is secured to withstand future local wind events.

The decision depends on the extent of damage, the age of your roof, and the location of issues like widespread granule loss or multiple damaged ridge caps. We provide a detailed consultation, checking for leaks, structural integrity, and the condition of the underlayment. For localized damage, a repair is often sufficient. However, if problems are widespread or your roof is near its 20-25 year expectancy common in our area, a replacement is usually the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We'll give you a straightforward assessment to help you make the best choice for your home.
