In Manchester's humid climate, black algae (Gloeocapsa magma) is common. We recommend a professional soft-wash treatment. This method uses low-pressure water and specialized, eco-friendly cleaners to safely kill the algae without damaging your shingles. Harsh pressure washing can strip protective granules and void warranties. Our team can assess the extent of the staining and provide a lasting solution that protects your roof's integrity and curb appeal.

Preventing ice dams starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof's temperature even. In Manchester, we often find that older homes have insufficient insulation, allowing heat to escape and melt snow unevenly. We perform energy audits and can upgrade your attic's insulation and airflow. Additionally, installing a waterproof membrane under your shingles at the eaves during a roof replacement is a highly effective, long-term defense against water infiltration from ice dams.

If an ice dam has caused leaks or water damage, prompt repair is crucial to prevent mold and structural issues. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to identify all compromised areas—from damaged shingles and underlayment to soaked roof decking and insulation. We then provide a detailed plan to replace the affected materials and address the root cause of the ice dam. For Manchester homeowners, we prioritize repairs that not only fix the immediate problem but also incorporate preventative measures for future winters.
