Shingles curling and losing granules? Here's what to do.
TruRoof offers free roof inspections and estimates in Kenwood, OH. Know what's really happening up there.
You're cleaning the gutters again and find dark granules. Some shingles are starting to curl at the edges. You live in Kenwood, where I-71 traffic and Ohio weather take a toll on roofs. It looks old, but you don't know if it's failing yet. That's exactly what a free inspection will tell you.
Curling shingles happen when the asphalt dries out and shrinks. Granules are the sandy coating that protects the shingle from sun and rain. When you see them in the gutter, that protection is wearing away. In Kenwood, summer heat and winter freezes speed up this wear. Once curling starts, the shingles can't lie flat, so wind and water get underneath. That's when small problems turn into leaks.
If only a few shingles are curling, a repair might cost a few hundred dollars. But if the granule loss is widespread across the roof, you're likely looking at a full replacement. A typical roof in Kenwood homes, many built in the 1960s-80s, can cost between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on size and material. An inspection with photos will show you exactly where you stand, so you can plan ahead. We'll give you a written estimate with no pressure.
Don't wait for a leak to show up inside. Water damage can ruin insulation and drywall, costing much more. This week, call TruRoof for a free inspection. We'll come out, take photos of the problem areas, and give you a written estimate. You'll know if you need simple repairs or a full replacement, and when you need to budget for it. We're based right here in Sycamore Township, so we know Kenwood roofs.
Once we've inspected your roof, you'll have clear photos and a plan. No more guessing. You can decide on repairs now or start saving for a replacement next year. Either way, you'll know your home is protected from the next big storm rolling through Hamilton County.
What people in Kenwood 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 Kenwood 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.
