Alex Construction: Trusted Roofing Repair Serving Kent, WA 98042

Our detailed roof inspection focuses on pinpointing the exact failure point. In Kent, chimney flashing leaks are often caused by cracked sealant or metal corrosion from our wet weather. We meticulously examine the flashing integration, counter-flashing, and surrounding shingles to identify where water is penetrating. This allows us to recommend a precise, lasting repair instead of a temporary fix, saving you from recurring water damage and mold issues inside your home.

Yes, absolutely. Those common black streaks on roofs in our area are almost always Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our damp, shaded conditions. Our inspection confirms it's algae (not mold or just dirt) and assesses the roof's overall health. We then provide safe, effective cleaning options to remove the stains and can discuss preventative treatments like zinc or copper strip installations to inhibit future growth and protect your roof's lifespan.

We recommend a professional inspection annually, especially after our stormy seasons in late fall and early spring. Key times to call us are: if you notice interior water stains, missing or curling shingles, granules in gutters, or visible algae growth. Proactive inspections can catch minor issues—like failing flashing or early algae colonization—before they become major, costly repairs, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
