Absolute Home Remodeling | Roofing Services in Staten Island, NY 10314

Those dark streaks are often algae, common in our humid climate. They can trap moisture and degrade shingles over time. We recommend a professional roof cleaning to safely remove them without damaging your roofing materials. As part of our service, we'll also perform a roof inspection to check for any underlying issues, like compromised underlayment, that the algae growth might be highlighting.

Yes, damaged roof underlayment—the water-resistant barrier beneath your shingles—is a frequent cause of leaks in older Staten Island homes. Our process starts with a precise roof inspection to locate the failure. Repair often involves removing the affected shingles, replacing the compromised underlayment section, and reinstalling the shingles. If the damage is widespread, a roof replacement with modern, high-quality underlayment may be the most reliable long-term solution to protect your home.

Properly functioning gutters are crucial for diverting water away from your roof and foundation. In Staten Island, clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water backup under shingles, accelerating underlayment rot and algae growth. Our gutter installation, repair, and replacement services ensure water flows freely. By adding or upgrading gutters, we help prevent ice dams in winter and protect your roof's edge, working hand-in-hand with our roofing services to provide a complete defense for your home.
