Asphalt Shingle Roof Inspection, explained.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof on homes in Middle Tennessee, and they age in predictable ways. Granules wear away, exposing the asphalt underneath. Edges curl, surfaces crack, nails push up and sealant strips fail. Where one slope bakes in afternoon sun, it often ages faster than the others.
We examine every slope, compare sun-exposed and shaded areas and check ridges, valleys and edges. We look for blistering, cracking, lifted tabs, exposed fasteners and the condition of flashings and vent boots. The report tells you how worn the shingles are and what repairs or monitoring make sense.

What is granule loss?
Granules protect the asphalt from sun. As they wear off, the shingle ages faster and can crack.
Are nail pops serious?
A popped nail can lift a shingle and let water in. It is usually a simple fix if found early.
Can I patch an old shingle roof?
Sometimes, but patches on a very worn roof may not last. The report helps you decide.
