First, ensure safety and document the visible damage with photos from the ground. Then, contact a local professional like Castle Roofing for a thorough inspection. We'll check for compromised shingles, lifted flashing, and hidden structural issues specific to wind damage in our area, providing a clear assessment and repair plan to prevent further interior damage.

The humid climate in Somerset is ideal for Gloeocapsa magma algae, which feeds on limestone in asphalt shingles, causing those dark streaks. While mostly cosmetic, it can shorten shingle life. We offer professional roof cleaning using safe, low-pressure methods to remove the stains and can discuss algae-resistant shingle options for your next replacement to prevent recurrence.

Storm damage in Somerset often appears as isolated, patterned issues like missing shingles in specific sections, granule loss in gutters after a hail event, or dents on metal components. General wear is more uniform and gradual. Our local expertise allows us to distinguish between the two during an inspection, which is crucial for potentially filing an insurance claim for storm-related repairs.
