Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to repair a leaking roof valley on my Saint Joseph home?

Repairing a roof valley leak requires addressing both the compromised area and the underlying cause, often water backup from debris or worn flashing. At Frakes Roofing, we start with a thorough inspection to locate the exact breach. We then carefully remove damaged materials, replace any corroded flashing with durable, code-compliant alternatives, and install new underlayment and shingles with a precise seal. Proper valley repair is critical in our area to handle heavy rain and snowmelt, preventing interior water damage and protecting your home's structure.

Can you fix the black algae stains on my roof without damaging the shingles?

Yes, absolutely. Those dark streaks are a common sight in Saint Joseph due to our humid climate. We use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash treatment that safely eliminates the algae without the harsh scrubbing that can granule loss and shorten your roof's life. The solution we apply not only cleans the existing stains but also includes a preventative treatment to inhibit regrowth for years. This service restores your roof's appearance and can help extend its lifespan by removing organisms that can degrade roofing materials over time.

If I have a minor leak, is a roof repair sufficient, or do I need a full replacement?

In many cases, a targeted roof repair is a perfectly effective and cost-efficient solution, especially for localized issues like a small valley leak or damage around a vent pipe. Our priority is to preserve your existing roof whenever possible. We will give you an honest, expert assessment of the damage's extent and the overall condition of your roof. If the surrounding shingles are sound and the issue is isolated, a professional repair by our team will provide a long-term fix. We only recommend a full replacement if the repair area is extensive or the roof is near the end of its service life.
