Shingles curling and losing granules? Here's what that means.
Honest answers from TruRoof, roof inspection and free estimate in Lebanon, OH.
You see shingles curling up at the corners. Dark grit piles up in your gutters after every rain. Your Lebanon home might be telling you the roof is past its prime.
Curled shingles and bare spots are a clear sign. The asphalt layer is drying out. Heat and sun bake the shingles until they warp. Granules break loose as the surface breaks down. Once enough granules wash off, the shingle can no longer protect your home.
A few bad shingles can be replaced for a few hundred dollars. If the curling is widespread, you are likely looking at a full tear-off. In Lebanon, a new asphalt roof often runs from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on size and layers. An inspection with photos shows exactly how much life is left.

What people in Lebanon 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."

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.
