Shingles curling and losing granules? Here's what that means.
A straight answer from a local roof inspection and free estimate team in Liberty Township, OH.
You live in Liberty Township and you keep finding dark grains in your gutters. The edges of your shingles are curling up. You know the roof looks tired, but you don't know if it's a small fix or a big problem. You want the truth, not a sales pitch.
Curling shingles and granule loss tell you the roof is aging faster than it should. Granules protect the asphalt from the sun. Once they fall off, the shingle bakes and curls. In Liberty Township, summer heat and winter freezes speed this up. You see it most on south-facing slopes or older roofs in neighborhoods like Stonehenge or Trails of Four Bridges. That grit in the gutter is not normal wear. It is a sign the roof surface is failing.
What this costs depends on how far it has spread. A few bad shingles can be replaced for a few hundred dollars. If curling is all over the roof, you are looking at a full tear-off. In Butler County, most asphalt roofs last 15 to 25 years. If your roof is past year 18 and losing granules, patching is a short-term fix. A new roof on a typical Liberty Township home runs between $8,000 and $14,000, depending on size and pitch.
Stop guessing and get photos of the damage. TruRoof offers a free roof inspection with clear pictures and a written estimate. You see exactly what is wrong. No pressure, no jargon. We check the whole roof and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait. If the damage is from a storm, we also help you talk to your insurance company.
After the inspection, you have a plan. You know if the roof can make it another two years or if it needs work this season. No more worrying every time it rains. No more staring at curled shingles and wondering. You just know.
What people in Liberty Township 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 Liberty Township 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.
