Absolutely. Our thorough roof inspection specifically looks for signs of biological growth like black algae streaks or greenish mold, which are common here due to our humidity. We assess the extent of the growth, check for underlying moisture damage to the decking, and determine if cleaning, targeted repairs, or more extensive work like reroofing is needed to protect your home's structure.

Not always. For many North Little Rock homes, if the algae is primarily cosmetic and the roof deck is sound, reroofing—installing new shingles over the existing layer—can be a cost-effective solution. We use algae-resistant shingles in our reroofing projects to prevent stains from returning. However, if our inspection finds moisture damage or rot from prolonged growth, a full replacement may be necessary for long-term protection.

For new roof installations and replacements in our area, we prioritize shingles with built-in algae-resistant technology, often featuring copper or zinc granules that inhibit growth. We also ensure proper attic ventilation and drainage are part of the installation, as reducing moisture buildup is key to preventing mold and algae. This proactive approach gives you a durable roof that stays cleaner and lasts longer in the local climate.
