Roofing Issues

Missing Granules - When a new roof it is common to lose some granules. However if your roof has been on for a while, and there are excessive granules in your gutters it could be an indication that your roof is nearing the end of it’s life.

Curling Shingles - When shingles reach the end of their life the roofing reinforcement can contract and cause the roof to “Curl”. If the roof is over 15 years old and the shingles are curling it could be a sign that it is time to replace the roof. If the roof has been recently installed and the shingles are curling it could be a sign of a roofing manufacturer defect and should be inspected for determination.

Algae Staining - Algae is the dingy stain that makes the roof look dirty. Algae by itself does not ruin a roof. However moss feeds on algae. When moss grows on shingles it attaches to granules. When moss is removed from the roof it takes granules that reflect UV rays with it exposing waterproofing asphalt, and shortening the roofs life.
