Curling shingles and losing granules? Here's what to do.
Get a free roof inspection and written estimate in Florence, KY. See what's really going on with your shingles.
You're cleaning the gutters again and find dark granules. Looking up, you notice shingles curling at the edges. In Florence, KY, summers are hot and winters bring freeze-thaw cycles that accelerate roof wear. You don't know if it's a few bad shingles or a failing roof. You need answers, not a sales pitch.
What you're seeing is normal aging, but it's a warning sign. Asphalt shingles have a protective layer of granules. When they curl and lose granules, the shingle is drying out and can no longer seal properly. Granules shield the asphalt from UV rays. Once they're gone, shingles become brittle and crack. In Florence, summer sun bakes roofs, and winter freeze-thaw cycles lift shingle edges. This repeated stress causes the curling and bare spots you notice. It means your roof is past the middle of its life.
If only a few shingles are curled, a repair may cost a few hundred dollars. But if curling and granule loss are widespread, you're looking at a larger job. A full roof replacement for a typical Florence home can range from $8,000 to $15,000. The price depends on roof size, pitch, number of layers, and materials. Many homes in neighborhoods like Plantation Pointe and Oakbrook were built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Those roofs are now reaching the end of their service life. The only way to know for sure is an up-close inspection.

What people in Florence 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 Florence 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.
