Shingles curling at the edges and losing granules?
Roof inspection and free estimate in Cold Spring, KY for curling shingles and granule loss.
You cleaned the gutters on your Cold Spring house again and found dark granules. The shingles are turning up at the corners, especially on the south-facing side. You don't know if it is a small repair or a full replacement, and a roof inspection with photos can show you the truth before you spend a dime.
Curling shingles and granule loss are signs your roof is past the middle of its life. Asphalt shingles start to dry out after years of Kentucky sun, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. The edges lift and the small stones on top wash into the gutters. Those stones, called granules, protect the shingle from UV rays. When they go, the shingle gets brittle and cracks. Some curling is normal with age. Widespread curling means the roof is failing.
A few curled shingles can be replaced for a small job. If the granule loss is all over, you are looking at a full tear-off. Cost depends on roof size and pitch. Cold Spring homes range from simple ranch roofs to steep Cape Cod slopes. A roof inspection tells you which path you are on. It gives you a written estimate so you can budget now. No one should guess at a roof from the ground.
This week, do not climb up with a pressure washer or sealant. Those make granule loss worse. Book a roof inspection and free estimate with TruRoof. A technician walks the roof, takes photos of the worst spots, and gives you a plain-English report. You see exactly which shingles are failing and what can wait. Then you decide on repairs or a replacement. It costs you nothing to know.
You stop wondering every time it rains. You will know if a repair buys you a few years or if a new roof is the smarter move. The estimate is in writing, with photos, so there are no surprises. You can plan the work on your schedule, not after a leak. The roof above you is either repairable or ready for replacement, and you will know which one.
What people in Cold Spring say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
Other things people in Cold Spring ask
how much should a roof inspection cost
Our inspections are free and come with photos and a written report you keep, whether or not you hire us.
what does a roof inspection include
Shingles, flashing, penetrations, gutters, attic ventilation and decking, documented with photos.
why do i keep getting calls about roof inspections
Storm chasers follow hail maps. Use a local, licensed company that will still be here in five years.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
how to choose a roofing contractor
Ask for a local address and a written estimate. Check that they have insurance and a license. Read reviews and ask for references. A good contractor will walk you through the job, not just hand you a number. Get at least three quotes before you decide.
