Big Gator Construction and Roofing - Jacksonville's Certified Roof Repair

In Jacksonville's humid climate, simple cleaning often isn't enough. We use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash system to safely remove the algae without damaging your shingles. To prevent it from coming back, we can apply a zinc or copper-based treatment at the roof ridge. This creates a protective barrier that washes over the shingles with each rain, inhibiting future algae growth for years.

Roof valleys channel a huge amount of water during our heavy Florida rains, making them a prime spot for wear and leaks. Leaks often start from cracked sealant, corroded flashing, or worn underlayment. Our repair process involves a thorough inspection to find the exact failure point. We then replace damaged materials with high-quality, corrosion-resistant flashing and install new ice-and-water shield underlayment for a watertight, long-lasting seal specific to valley protection.

Absolutely. As licensed painters and contractors, we offer more than just a cosmetic fix. Applying a high-quality, elastomeric roof coating can seal minor cracks and provide an additional waterproof layer over vulnerable areas like valleys. For painted surfaces, we use mold- and mildew-resistant paints that withstand our humidity. This integrated approach not only improves curb appeal but adds a crucial layer of defense against the moisture and algae issues prevalent in our area.
