Granule Loss Assessment in Willow Beach, AZ

Granule Loss Assessment in Willow Beach, AZ

The colored granules on an asphalt shingle are there to block UV. When they wash off, the asphalt underneath starts to dry out, crack and curl. Some loss is normal, especially on a new roof shedding loose granules in its first year. A pile of granules at the bottom of every downspout on a 15 year old roof is a different story.

Willow Beach, AZ Shingle Roof Repair connects homeowners in Willow Beach, AZ with shingle roofing contractors who can tell the difference. A granule loss assessment usually covers:

• Checking gutters and downspout splash areas for the amount and color of granules
• Looking for bald patches, black spots where the mat shows, and blistering
• Checking whether loss is spread evenly or concentrated on the sun-facing slope
• Looking for small round bruises that point to hail rather than age

The result tells you which way to go. Scattered bald spots can often be handled with targeted shingle roof repair. Widespread loss with brittle, cupped shingles means the roof is near the end, and a crew will tell you so plainly.

If your gutters look like a sandbox, call (844) 238-0976. Willow Beach, AZ Shingle Roof Repair will connect you with a crew in Willow Beach, AZ to take a look.
