Shingles curling at the edges and losing granules?
A roof inspection and free estimate in Union, KY tells you what's really going on before a small problem becomes a big bill.
You cleaned the gutters off US-42 and found dark grit from your shingles. Up on the roof, corners are curling. In Union's summer storms and freeze-thaw cycles, worn shingles break down faster than you think. You need to know if this is a few bad spots or the start of a full replacement.
Curling shingles happen when the asphalt backing dries out. Heat from Union summers bakes the roof until edges lift. Granule loss shows the protective layer is washing away. Once bare spots appear, UV rays eat the asphalt directly. Your roof is past the middle of its life.
The scope depends on how far the damage spreads. A few curled or bald shingles around vents or the south slope off Derby Park area can be replaced in a day. If half the roof looks thin and you find granules in every downspout, you are looking at a tear-off. A visual check from the ground cannot tell the difference.
Get a roof inspection with photos this week. A contractor should walk the roof, measure granule depth, and show you images of the worst areas. TruRoof provides a free inspection and honest written estimate in Union, KY. Do not wait until a leak starts inside. Leaks mean the decking is already wet.
After the inspection, you will know exactly where you stand. Some homes just need targeted repairs and another few years of life. Others need a budget and a plan for replacement next season. Either way, you stop guessing and start protecting your home.
What people in Union 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 Union ask
how much should a roof inspection cost

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.
