In this video, we’re showing a close-up inspection where the shingles have experienced severe granule loss with fiberglass exposed across large sections of the roof.
This is a textbook example of a roof that has reached the end of its lifespan.
Granules play a critical role in protecting shingles from UV exposure and weathering. Once they’re gone, the shingle rapidly deteriorates, leading to cracking, water intrusion, and eventual failure.
At this stage:
• The roof is highly vulnerable to leaks
• Repairs are typically no longer effective
• Full replacement is usually the best course of action
This video was taken to help the homeowner clearly understand what’s happening on their roof, something that often isn’t visible from the ground.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your roof, getting a professional inspection can help you catch issues like this before they turn into costly interior damage.
