Eric Roofing: Qualified Roofing Repair Serving Detroit, MI 48210

In Detroit, flashing separation is often caused by our extreme temperature swings and heavy storms, which cause materials to expand, contract, and loosen over time. Eric Roofing fixes this by carefully removing the compromised flashing, inspecting the underlying deck for water damage, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, weatherproof materials to ensure a tight, lasting seal that withstands Michigan seasons.

Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in Detroit's humid climate. While not immediately structurally harmful, the algae retains moisture and can degrade roofing granules over time. Yes, we safely remove these stains using specialized, low-pressure cleaning solutions that kill the algae without damaging your shingles, restoring your roof's appearance and health.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection with Eric Roofing at least once a year, especially after severe weather. We'll check for loose flashing, early signs of algae, and other wear. Keeping gutters clean and ensuring proper attic ventilation also goes a long way in preventing moisture-related problems specific to our local environment.
