Premature Composition Shingle Failure
Most three-tab and early architectural shingles in this climate reach the end of their service life somewhere between 20 and 30 years, and heat exposure often pushes that earlier. Shingles lose granule coverage over time, exposing the asphalt mat directly to UV radiation and accelerating surface cracking. Failure concentrates first at eave edges and valley flashings, where water pools longest. Our technicians use drone inspections to document granule loss, substrate exposure, and flashing separation before recommending a full roof replacement.
