What We Check Before Recommending Asphalt Shingle Repair
We review missing tabs, lifted shingles, fasteners, seal strips, granule loss, ridge areas, roof edges, surrounding wear, and whether the repair is isolated or part of a larger aging pattern.
Asphalt shingles approaching end of life show specific signs: curling at the edges (cupping), cracks across the tab face, granule loss in gutters, and brittleness when touched. These signs mean the shingles are losing their ability to shed water even in their intact areas. We tell you whether individual section repair makes sense for the roof's remaining life or whether the money would be better applied toward a replacement budget.
