Here's a 30-second roof check you can do right now.
Walk outside and look in your gutters.
See any small dark granules, like coarse black or grey sand?
If yes, your roof is losing its protection layer.
Those granules protect your shingles from UV damage, reflect heat away from your home, and keep the asphalt underneath from drying out and cracking.
Once they're gone, bare asphalt is exposed to every rain, freeze, and heat wave Michigan throws at it.
Most Michigan roofs start losing granules significantly between years 12 and 18.
By the time homeowners notice water damage inside, the process has been happening for years.
Catching it early means options.
We do free roof inspections including granule loss and shingle health checks!
