Girardi's Restoration | Roofing Services in New Haven, CT 06512

In our New Haven climate, skylight leaks are often caused by failed sealant or flashing due to temperature fluctuations and weathering. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact source. We then carefully remove the compromised materials, install new, high-grade flashing and sealants designed for our local conditions, and ensure a watertight seal to prevent future issues and protect your interior.

Absolutely. Those dark streaks are often Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in humid areas like ours. We use a safe, low-pressure soft wash technique with specialized, eco-friendly cleaning solutions. This method effectively kills the algae and restores your roof's color without the harsh abrasion of power washing, which can shorten your shingles' lifespan. We also can discuss preventative treatments to slow regrowth.

Most of the time, a targeted repair is sufficient, especially for localized issues like a leak around a skylight or a few damaged shingles. As your local contractor, our first priority is to assess the extent of the damage honestly. We'll only recommend a full replacement if it's truly necessary for the long-term health of your roof. Our goal is to provide the most cost-effective, lasting solution for your New Haven home.
