How Lancaster sun and heat wear on roofs

Roofs in Lancaster live much of their life in direct sun. Over time, that shows up as surface wear, cracking and small openings around details.

Granule loss on shingles

If you see a lot of shingle granules in gutters or on the ground near downspouts, UV has probably started to break down the surface of the roof.

Dry sealants and caulking

Sealants around vents, skylights and flashings dry and shrink in the heat. We look closely at those areas on inspections.

Good ventilation and timely touch-ups can help extend roof life even in Lancaster sun.
