Questions and Answers

What's the best way to fix roof nail pops in Castle Shannon?

Nail pops are common here due to temperature swings and framing movement. The proper fix involves carefully removing the popped nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new fastener with a rubber-washered seal. We then match and seal the surrounding shingles to prevent leaks. It's a precise repair best handled by a professional to avoid damaging your roof.

How do you treat black algae stains on roofs in our area?

Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. We use a specialized, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely kills the algae without damaging asphalt shingles. We also can apply zinc or copper strips at the roof ridge as a long-term preventative measure to inhibit future growth.

As a general contractor, can you handle both the roof repair and any interior damage from a leak?

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we manage the entire project. We start by fixing the roof leak at the source, then handle any necessary interior repairs like drywall, insulation, or painting. This single-point-of-contact service saves Castle Shannon homeowners time and ensures the job is done right from the exterior in.
