Roof Repair or Replacement? Missing Shingles and Granule Loss
Length: 0:56
An on-roof walkthrough shows repeated shingle repairs, new cracks, missing shingles, granule loss, and rotted wood near a pipe jack. Once a roof reaches that stage, the video explains, it is better to stop paying for repairs and put on a new roof system, such as a regular 30 year, Class 3 or Class 4 shingle.

Do you have a roof where you are constantly seeing shingles fly off and you're constantly getting repaired and you're seeing cracked shingles? If your roof is already at that stage, it's better just to get it replaced. Because you're going to have more shingles flying off, kind of like what you see here.
We've already replaced all the shingles that flew off in those areas over there, but they continue to come out. If you look at that right there, there's a lot of granule loss, more missing shingles. All those shingles there in the background were all replaced.
Now you see more new cracked shingles over there. So it's better to stop wasting money on getting it repaired and just put a great roof system on there. You can put a regular 30 year, class three or class four.
Look right there, there's even rotted wood in that area in front of the pipe jack because water is starting to infiltrate inside.
