Shingles curling and losing granules? Here's what to do.
You're seeing curling shingles and granule loss on your Hyde Park roof. Get a free inspection with photos, no pressure.
Your shingles are curling at the edges. Dark granules pile up in the gutters of your Hyde Park home. It's a common sight on the older houses around Hyde Park Square and Oakley, especially after Ohio's freeze-thaw winters. You're not sure if it's a sign the roof is failing or just cosmetic.
Curled shingles and loose granules mean your roof is aging. Asphalt shingles seal together with heat after installation. Over time, sun and weather break down the asphalt. In Hyde Park, freeze-thaw cycles can lift edges, and then the protective granules wash away. Once the edges curl, water can sneak underneith. That weakened shingle now puts the wood decking at risk.
A few curled shingles can often be replaced for a few hundred dollars. Widespread curling across the roof means the shingles have passed the middle of their life. A full tear-off in Hyde Park depends on size, pitch, and underlayment. The free inspection gives you photos and a clear cost picture before any work starts.
Do not ignore curling shingles. Every storm risks more water damage. This week, get a professional inspection with photos. TruRoof provides a free, no-pressure estimate to Hyde Park homeowners. They'll walk the roof, show you exactly what's happening, and give you a written report. That lets you plan the right repair or replacement from a position of strength.
After the inspection, you will have clear photos showing the damage and a written plan. You'll know whether to replace a few shingles or start saving for a tear-off. No more guessing at gutter debris. Your roof's condition is out in the open, and you can make a calm, informed decision.
What people in Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park 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.
