Questions and Answers
What's the best way to handle roof algae stains common in Erie?
In Erie's humid climate, dark algae streaks are common but can shorten your roof's life. We don't recommend high-pressure washing, which can damage shingles. Instead, we perform a professional, low-pressure soft wash with EPA-approved cleaners that safely eliminate the algae and help prevent it from returning quickly, protecting your roof's surface and warranty.
How can I tell if my roof underlayment is damaged after a tough Erie winter?
Winter ice dams and heavy snow in Erie can compromise the underlayment beneath your shingles. Signs inside your home include water stains on ceilings or walls, especially in the attic. From the outside, look for curling or buckling shingles. We offer thorough inspections to identify hidden underlayment damage and recommend repairs before it leads to more costly structural issues.
As a general contractor, can you handle both the roof repair and any resulting interior damage?
Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we manage the entire project. If a roofing issue like underlayment failure has caused water damage inside your Erie home, we coordinate everything from the roof repair and replacement to fixing drywall, insulation, and interior finishes. This single-point-of-contact service ensures the job is done right and saves you time managing multiple trades.
