Those dark streaks are a common issue here, caused by Gloeocapsa magma algae. While they don't immediately damage shingles, they retain moisture and can shorten a roof's lifespan. We don't recommend high-pressure washing, as it can strip granules. Instead, we use a low-pressure, specialized cleaning solution to safely eliminate the algae and apply preventative treatments to slow its return, protecting your roof's integrity.

Rusting flashing is often due to older galvanized steel reacting to our humid seasons and winter salts. Compromised flashing is a leading cause of leaks. At Beth Roofing, we replace rusted flashing with durable, corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or coated steel. We ensure a precise, watertight seal to prevent future moisture intrusion, which is crucial for protecting the structure of your Brookline home.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Our local climate, with its freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and snow, can accelerate wear on shingles, flashing, and seals. A proactive inspection from our team can identify minor issues like early rust or algae growth before they lead to significant leaks or damage, saving you money and stress in the long run.
