Cochrane Roofing & Metal Co | Roofing Services in Birmingham, AL 35218

Our approach starts with a detailed inspection to assess vulnerability. We then apply professional-grade, zinc-based cleaning solutions that safely eliminate existing algae and create a protective barrier to inhibit future growth. For new installations or replacements, we offer algae-resistant shingles specifically designed to withstand our humid climate, providing a longer-lasting, cleaner-looking roof.

Common signs include sagging roof lines, interior water stains, or a spongy feeling when walking on the roof. As Birmingham experts, we conduct a careful inspection, often from the attic, to locate soft or compromised wood. Our repair process involves precisely removing damaged decking sections and replacing them with new, treated plywood or OSB, ensuring a solid foundation for your new roofing materials to prevent recurring issues.

In our climate, these problems are connected. Algae growth traps moisture against the roof surface, which can seep underneath and accelerate wood rot in the decking. Ignoring one often leads to the other. Cochrane Roofing provides comprehensive solutions that tackle both the surface symptom (algae) and the underlying structural threat (rot), ensuring your roof's health and protecting your home's value and safety.
