Those dark streaks are likely algae stains, a common issue in Vancouver due to our damp climate and overhanging trees. While often mistaken for mold or dirt, this algae feeds on limestone in asphalt shingles. Ap Pacific Roofing can professionally clean the roof to remove the stains and may recommend installing zinc or copper strips along the ridge to prevent future growth, protecting your roof's appearance and lifespan.

Finding some granules, especially after a new roof installation, can be normal. However, excessive granule loss is a serious sign of advanced shingle wear, often accelerated by our local weather cycles. It means your roof's protective layer is degrading. Ap Pacific Roofing will conduct a free inspection to assess the extent of the wear, determine if repair is possible, or advise on a replacement to prevent leaks and water damage to your home's structure.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Vancouver's consistent rain, wind, and seasonal debris can cause minor issues to escalate quickly. Our inspections are thorough and free. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, assess flashing around chimneys and vents, clean your gutters if needed, and provide a clear report on your roof's condition, helping you plan maintenance before an emergency arises.
