Elevated Roofing & Siding | Roofing Services in Boston, MA 02129

Two frequent issues are roof algae stains, often seen as dark streaks, and granule loss from asphalt shingles. Boston's humid summers and seasonal moisture create ideal conditions for algae growth, while winter freeze-thaw cycles and storms can wear down shingles. For algae, we perform a professional roof cleaning that removes stains without damaging the shingles. For granule loss, we conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the wear. Often, targeted repairs or a section replacement can address the problem, but if the loss is widespread, we'll discuss a roof replacement to ensure your home is properly protected.

The need for repair versus replacement depends on the age, extent of damage, and the condition of your roof's underlying structure. During our detailed roof inspection, we look for key signs: isolated leaks or a few damaged shingles typically indicate a repair is sufficient. However, widespread issues like curling or buckling shingles, significant granule loss, daylight visible through the roof boards, or multiple leaks often point to the need for a replacement. We provide a clear, honest assessment with photos and explanations, so you can make an informed decision for your home and budget.

Yes, absolutely. As a full-service exterior company, we frequently manage projects that involve both roofing and siding. This integrated approach is efficient and often provides a better overall result. For instance, when replacing a roof, we can simultaneously inspect and address any siding or trim issues around the roof edges to ensure a seamless, watertight seal. Coordinating both services with one trusted team simplifies scheduling, ensures consistent craftsmanship, and can be more cost-effective than hiring separate contractors for each job.
