The black stains are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common here due to our humidity. We use a low-pressure, eco-friendly cleaning solution to safely remove the stains without damaging your shingles. To prevent regrowth, we can apply a zinc or copper-based treatment strip near the roof's peak. As rain washes over it, it creates a protective barrier that inhibits algae for years, which is crucial for our coastal climate.

Skylight leaks in Myrtle Beach are often caused by failed seals or flashing due to UV exposure and storm-driven rain. We don't just patch it; we perform a complete diagnostic to find the source. Our repair involves removing the old, compromised flashing, resealing the skylight with high-grade, UV-resistant sealants, and reinstalling new flashing integrated with your existing roof system. This addresses the root cause, providing a long-term seal against our frequent coastal downpours.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring before hurricane season. Our local inspections specifically check for early signs of algae growth, seal deterioration around skylights and vents, and any storm damage you might not see from the ground. This proactive approach is key here—catching a small issue early can prevent major water damage from our summer storms and extend your roof's lifespan significantly.
