How does a drone roof inspection compare to a traditional inspection?
A drone captures high-resolution images of every slope, valley and ridge without anyone walking on the roof, which reduces the risk of damaging brittle shingles. It's especially useful on steep or tall roofs. Images can be zoomed in to reveal hail bruises, lifted shingles and flashing gaps. Many roofers combine drone imagery with a hands-on check of specific areas for the most complete assessment.
What roofing materials work best for homes built in the 1970s?
Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice, offering better wind resistance, a dimensional look and longer lifespan than the three-tab shingles common on homes from that era. Re-roofing is also a chance to add modern upgrades like synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield and improved ridge ventilation. Impact-resistant shingles are worth considering in hail-prone areas and may qualify for insurance discounts.
What does granule loss on shingles mean for my roof?
Granules protect the asphalt layer from UV rays and give shingles their color and fire resistance. Some shedding is normal on a new roof, but heavy loss on an older roof signals that shingles are wearing out. Hail impacts can also knock granules loose in concentrated spots. Exposed asphalt deteriorates quickly, so noticeable bare patches or piles of granules in gutters warrant an inspection.
