Shingles curling and losing granules? Here's what to do.
Curling shingles and granule loss in Withamsville, OH? Get a free roof inspection and estimate.
You live in Withamsville. Every time you clean your gutters, you see black granules. The shingles are curling at the edges. It feels like your roof is aging too fast. You don't know if it's a quick fix or a huge expense.
Those dark specks in your gutters are the protective granules your shingles shed as they age. Curled edges mean the shingles are drying out and lifting away from the roof. It's not just ugly—it's a warning. Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles speed this up. Water sneaks under the curl at night. When it freezes, the shingle lifts more. By spring, you find extra grit in the downspout. Left alone, bare asphalt cracks and lets water into the roof deck.
The first step is to find out how much of the roof is affected. A few curling shingles can often be replaced for a few hundred dollars if the rest of the roof is solid. But if granule loss is widespread, a full tear-off is the smart move. In Withamsville, a new asphalt shingle roof usually costs between $7,500 and $14,000 for an avarage home. That depends on square footage, slope, and wheather old layers must come off. A free inspection and estimate will nail down the number for your house.
This week, schedule a free roof inspection with TruRoof. We'll climb up and take detailed photos of every section. You'll see the curling shingles, the bare spots, any soft wood. You get a written estimate that spells out repair versus replacement costs. You decide what fits your budget. Don't wait for a ceiling stain to appear before acting. By then, damage is already done.
After the inspection, you'll have a clear answer. Maybe it's just a small repair—or maybe it's time to start saving for a replacement next year. Either way, you'll stop worrying every time it rains. You'll know your Withamsville home is protected and you have a plan that makes sense for your wallet.
What people in Withamsville 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 Withamsville 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.
