Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. It's more than just cosmetic; it can degrade roofing granules over time. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically formulated for roofs, which safely removes the algae without damaging your shingles, unlike high-pressure washing. We can also discuss installing zinc or copper strips at the ridge to help prevent future growth.

Look for visible signs like missing or cracked shingles, granule loss in your gutters, or dents on metal components. Inside, check for water stains on ceilings or in the attic. Even small breaches can lead to major leaks. We offer free, thorough post-storm inspections for Terrytown residents to assess the damage and provide a clear, prioritized repair plan to secure your home before the next rain.

Given our exposure to high winds and heavy rain, we recommend impact-resistant asphalt shingles with a high wind rating or metal roofing. Both offer superior durability against hurricane-force winds and driving rain. During a consultation, we'll evaluate your home's structure, your budget, and local building codes to help you choose the best material for long-term protection and value.
