In Putney's climate, those black streaks are usually Gloeocapsa magma algae. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment. This method uses low-pressure, eco-friendly cleaners to kill the algae at the root and rinse it away without damaging your shingles, which harsh power washing can do. This not only restores your roof's appearance but also protects the granular coating that extends its life.

This is very common here. Heavy snow and ice dams put immense pressure on your roof. As they melt, water seeps under shingles, into nail holes, or around flashing that may have been compromised by winter freeze-thaw cycles. A spring inspection is crucial to find these entry points. We identify and repair the source, often replacing damaged shingles or resealing flashing, to prevent interior damage before the next winter.

Absolutely. In many cases, a targeted repair is all that's needed. We start with a detailed inspection to locate the exact source of the leak—often around chimneys, vents, skylights, or in valleys. We then perform precise repairs, such as replacing a section of shingles or installing new step flashing, to stop the water intrusion. We'll always advise if a repair is sufficient or if the damage indicates a need for a larger section repair.

Absolutely. In Putney, leaky or clogged gutters are a primary cause of destructive ice dams. When gutters don't drain properly, water backs up, freezes, and forces moisture under your roof edge. Our gutter services include cleaning, resealing seams, re-securing hangers, and ensuring proper pitch for water flow. For persistent issues, we may recommend installing heated gutter cables or larger-capacity gutters to handle our heavy snowmelt and prevent the cycle from starting.
