The black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common here due to our humidity. While a DIY cleaning with a bleach solution is possible, improper pressure washing can damage shingles. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment that kills the algae at the root and includes a preventative coating to slow its return, protecting your roof's lifespan.

A leaking roof valley is a critical issue that needs immediate attention, as it directs a large amount of water runoff. The repair scope depends on the damage. Our process involves a thorough inspection to find the exact breach—often failed flashing or compromised underlayment—followed by a precise repair using high-quality, weather-resistant materials to ensure a long-lasting seal specific to Louisiana's weather.
