Santa Rosa Beach Roofing Experts | Algae Stain & Flashing Repair | Assurance Residential

Those dark stains are typically a type of algae (Gloeocapsa magma) that thrives in our humid, coastal climate. At Assurance Residential, we use a specialized, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely removes the algae without damaging your shingles. This not only improves curb appeal but also helps preserve the integrity of your roofing materials.

Flashing—the metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys—is highly susceptible to corrosion from our salty sea air and frequent rain. We inspect for pitting and weakness, then perform precise repairs or replacements using corrosion-resistant materials. Properly sealing these areas is crucial to preventing leaks and water damage inside your home.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally before and after the storm season. Our local inspections specifically check for algae growth, flashing integrity, and any wear from high winds or debris. Regular check-ups help catch small issues early, saving you from costly major repairs down the line.
