ROOF GALLERY

This image is what the granule composition should look like.

Normal and evenly distributed granules provide color clarity.

This allows the intended color scheme to be displayed. The

asphalt mat will also be allowed to breathe properly.

(Note the multiple colors of granules, reds,yellow and grey.)

This image is showing signs of multiple pitting and lichen,

as well as algae adhered to the surface of the granules.

This is why the roof has the appearance of becoming black and streaked.

(can you find the colored granules in this photo?)

Multiple areas of pitting can be seen in this close-up view. Notice the loss of color of the granules.
