The most effective and safe method is a professional soft wash. We use eco-friendly, low-pressure cleaning solutions specifically designed to kill the algae at the root without damaging your shingles, which is crucial for our coastal climate. Harsh pressure washing can strip away protective granules and void warranties.

Salt air, high humidity, and frequent storms accelerate corrosion and can loosen flashing seals. We inspect for corrosion, lifted nails, and failed sealant. Our repair involves removing the compromised material, treating any underlying rot, and installing new, high-grade flashing with proper sealing techniques to withstand our coastal environment.

Absolutely. While unsightly, those black streaks are more than cosmetic; they're a living organism that retains moisture and slowly degrades your shingles. By professionally removing the algae, you eliminate this constant moisture source, helping to prevent granular loss and organic growth that can shorten your roof's lifespan, especially in our damp climate.
