When shingles are newly installed, you may notice some granule loss evident by the small build up in your eavestrough. This is normal and is only the loose granule on the surface of the shingle, left over from the manufacturing process. If the shingles are older, and are losing a lot of granule, this is definitely a sign that the shingles are nearing the end of their life. Now is the time to plan for a new roof.
