Cecil Jennings Construction | Roofing Services in Athens, GA 30605

Those dark streaks are common in our humid climate and are actually a type of algae. At Cecil Jennings Construction, we use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically designed to kill the algae and wash it away without damaging your shingles. We often follow up with a zinc or copper strip installation at the roof's peak to prevent future growth, giving you a long-term solution.

Signs include excessive heat in your attic during summer, ice dams in winter, peeling paint on eaves, or high energy bills. Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, which is hard on your roof structure and shingles. We offer a free inspection to assess your current soffit, ridge, and gable vents, and we can design a balanced system tailored to your home's layout to solve these common local issues.

While a quality paint job or reflective roof coating can help reflect heat and may slow algae growth slightly, they don't address the root cause. Proper ventilation is a structural fix, and algae requires specific treatment. Our approach is to first solve the core problem—installing proper ventilation or professionally cleaning the algae—then we can apply protective, high-quality coatings or paints to enhance durability and curb appeal for your Athens home.
