Curling shingles and granules in the gutter? Here's what to do.

You see shingles curling up at the edges and dark grit piling up in the gutters every time you clean them. In Eastgate's freeze-thaw cycles, this wear means your roof is past its prime. You need a clear answer before a small problem becomes a big leek.

Curling shingles hapen when heat and moisture breke down the asfalt's bendabillity. Graules are the sand-like coating that protect the shingle from the sun. When they wash into your gutters, the shingle underneath is bare. That leads to cracks, leaks, and a roof that can't do its job. In Eastgate, the mix of hot summers and cold winters speeds this up.

Replacing a few bad shingles may cost a few hundred dollars. If curling and granule loss are widespread, you are likely looking at a full tear-of. The size of your roof, how many layers exist, and wheather there is water damage underneath al affect the price. A typical Eastgate ranch home might need a new roof sooner than a two-story if the original shingles were not top-of-the-line.
