Ridge caps are the seal along the peak of your roof, and they are critical for venting hot, moist air from your attic and preventing wind-driven rain from getting underneath your shingles. Our coastal storms can loosen or damage them. We carefully remove the damaged caps, inspect the underlying decking for any issues, and install new, high-wind-rated ridge cap shingles with proper sealing to restore a durable, watertight barrier that meets local building codes.

Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in our humid climate. Pressure washing can blast away the protective granules on your asphalt shingles. We use a safer, low-pressure soft wash system with EPA-approved, biodegradable cleaning solutions. This method gently kills the algae at the root and washes the stains away without damaging your roof, helping to extend its lifespan and improve your home's curb appeal.

We start with a thorough, no-obligation inspection. For isolated issues like a few damaged ridge caps or a small leak, a targeted repair is often sufficient. However, if we find widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, or sagging decking—especially following storm season—a replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. We'll provide a clear, honest assessment and explain all your options, focusing on what's best for the protection and value of your home.
