11 years old, but acting 25? š Hereās why shingle granule loss matters during a home inspection.
Is your 10-year-old roof secretly failing? š Shingle age isn't the whole story!
During a recent home inspection right here in Bentonville, AR, I looked at a roof that was only about 11 or 12 years oldāwell within its expected manufacturer lifespan on paper. But upon getting up close, severe granule loss revealed a very different story.
āGranules protect asphalt shingles from harmful UV rays and harsh weather. When advanced granule loss occurs early:
āļø UV rays accelerate asphalt breakdown.
š§ļø Shingles become brittle and prone to cracking or leaking.
ā±ļø A roof mid-way through its life cycle can suddenly reach its end of life premature.
āWhether you're purchasing a home in Northwest Arkansas or checking in on your current property, a detailed roof evaluation goes way beyond counting years.
