Those dark streaks are very common here due to our damp, coastal climate. They're a type of algae, not mold, and while they don't typically damage shingles immediately, they can retain moisture. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically formulated for roofs. Pressure washing can damage shingle granules, so we use low-pressure methods to safely and effectively remove the stains and apply preventative solutions to slow their return.

Chimney flashing is a critical seal that's vulnerable to our heavy rains and strong winds in Brinnon. Leaks often occur because the metal flashing has corroded, the sealant has cracked, or the installation wasn't suited for our weather extremes. A permanent fix involves a thorough inspection to identify the failure point, removing the old flashing, and installing new, properly sized metal flashing that's integrated with the roof layers and sealed with high-grade, weather-resistant materials to create a watertight barrier.

Given our local weather patterns, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. This allows us to check for any damage from winter storms or summer sun and address minor issues like loose shingles or worn sealant before they lead to larger problems like leaks. Regular inspections are the most cost-effective way to extend your roof's life and prevent the interior damage that leaks from flashing or compromised shingles can cause.
