This Roof Has Lost Its Protection

Take a closer look at your shingles.

If you can see the fiberglass mat underneath, that’s a major warning sign that your shingles have lost a significant amount of their protective granules.

As the granules wear away, the shingles become increasingly vulnerable to deterioration.

On this roof, the shingles are worn down enough that the fiberglass is exposed and large areas are essentially bare. At this stage, a roof replacement is typically the next step rather than simply making a repair.

The good news? You don’t have to wait for a leak to find out your roof is failing.

Take a look at your shingles from the ground. If you’re seeing excessive bare spots, heavy granule loss, or exposed fiberglass, it may be time to have your roof inspected.
