Questions and Answers

My roof in Elkmont has black streaks. Is this just dirt, or do I need a roof repair?

Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a common roof algae in our humid Alabama climate. While it starts as a cosmetic issue, it can degrade your shingles' protective granules over time. We offer thorough roof inspections to assess the damage. For mild cases, a professional cleaning may suffice. If the algae has caused significant granule loss, we can discuss targeted repairs or, if needed, a roof replacement with algae-resistant shingles to prevent future growth.

After a storm, how can I tell if my shingles have wind damage that needs repair?

Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, especially on roof edges and ridges where wind uplift is strongest. You might also find granules in your gutters. Don't wait—even minor wind damage can lead to leaks. Cruz Roofing provides prompt, post-storm roof inspections in Elkmont. We'll identify all compromised areas and provide a clear repair plan to secure your home before the next rain. We also handle insurance claims to simplify the process for you.

Can you add a skylight during a roof replacement, and will it be prone to leaks in our weather?

Yes, a roof replacement is the ideal time to install a skylight, as we can integrate it seamlessly into the new roofing system. Proper installation is key to preventing leaks. Our team uses premium flashing kits and seals the skylight as a integral part of the roof, not an afterthought. For existing homes, we also specialize in skylight repair to fix leaks or condensation issues, ensuring your addition stays bright and dry through Elkmont's seasons.
