Shingles curling and losing granules? Read this first.
Free roof inspection and written estimate in Covington, KY. Get photos and honest answers from TruRoof.
You're cleaning the gutters on your Covington home and find piles of dark granules. The shingles are curling at the edges, and you're not sure if the roof is failing or just looks old. You need a straight answer before a small problem turns into a big one.
Curling shingles and granule loss mean your roof is past the middle of its life. Asphalt shingles have a protective layer of granules that shield the mat from sunlight. When the granules fall off, the asphalt dries out and cracks. Curling happens when moisture and heat cause the shingle to warp. In Covington, freeze-thaw cycles and hot summers speed up the process.
A few curled shingles can be replaced for a few hundred dollars. If the granule loss is widespread and shingles are curling across the roof, you're likely looking at a full replacement. An average roof in Covington can run $8,000 to $15,000, depending on size, pitch, and materials. The good news is you can plan ahead if you catch it early.
Call TruRoof for a free inspection with photos. We'll document exactly what's happening and give you a written estimate with no pressure. Do not wait until you see water stains on the ceiling. An inspection now can save you from a surprise tear-off later.
After the inspection, you'll know exactly where you stand. You'll have clear photos of your roof and a plan that fits your budget. No more guessing or worrying about the next storm.
What people in Covington 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 Covington 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.
