Those black streaks are algae stains, often called Gloeocapsa magma, which thrive in our humid, warm climate. They can trap moisture and degrade your shingles over time. Yes, Browders Roofing can safely clean and treat the stains. We also recommend and install algae-resistant shingles for a long-term solution that keeps your roof looking clean and extends its lifespan.

Finding some granules is normal as a roof ages, but excessive loss is a sign your shingles are deteriorating, often accelerated by our intense sun and seasonal storms. It's a serious concern because granules protect the asphalt from UV rays. Browders Roofing provides free inspections to assess the extent of the damage. We can often perform targeted repairs to protect vulnerable areas, but if the loss is widespread, we'll discuss replacement options to prevent leaks and further damage.

It depends on the age of your roof, the extent of damage (like granule loss or leaks), and the cost of repeated repairs. Our humid climate and weather can accelerate wear. The best way to know is with a professional assessment. At Browders Roofing, we'll inspect your roof thoroughly, explain what we find in plain terms, and provide a clear, honest recommendation. Our goal is to give you the most cost-effective solution to protect your home, whether that's a precise repair or a complete replacement with high-quality, durable materials suited for our area.
