Our team will identify the damage better and the start can be with the granules, which are the most important elements of asphalt tiles. These granules are made from crushed rock, stone chips and serve as a protective layer for the roof. Once granule loss starts taking place in bigger amounts, the structural integrity of the roof will be compromised. Sooner or later, weakness will befall on the roof, challenging the entire structure. We will do a thorough inspection of the roof and check whether the granules are lying in the gutter or not. If so, then, there is a serious problem with the asphalt tiles. This is a condition when we would suggest that you replace the tiles with the new ones.  When granules start losing from the tiles on a large scale, it indicates signs of wear and tear. Replacement is the only option available.
