Those dark streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae common in Florida's humid climate. While it doesn't typically damage shingles immediately, it can trap moisture and affect curb appeal. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment, not high-pressure washing which can damage granules. For a long-term solution, we can install algae-resistant shingles on your next roof replacement.

First, try to safely contain any interior water damage with buckets or towels. Then, contact us for a prompt, thorough inspection. Tropical storms can dislodge shingles, compromise flashing, or expose hidden weaknesses. We'll locate the exact source of the leak—often not directly above the interior water spot—and provide a clear repair plan to prevent further damage before the next rain.

The best preparation is a professional pre-season inspection. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure all flashing around vents and chimneys is secure, and clear your gutters to prevent water backup. We can also assess your roof's overall wind resistance and discuss reinforcement options. This proactive step can identify minor issues before a storm turns them into major, costly leaks.
