J & Sons Roofing | Roofing Services in Kelso, WA 98626

The humid, rainy climate in Kelso and Longview is perfect for the growth of gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that causes those black or dark streaks on roofs. It's not just cosmetic; over time, it can degrade your roofing materials. J & Sons offers professional roof cleaning to safely remove these stains and a thorough roof inspection to assess any underlying damage. We can also recommend solutions like algae-resistant shingles during a roof replacement to prevent future growth.

A leaking skylight in our area is often due to failed seals or flashing around the unit, which can be repaired. However, if the skylight itself is cracked or outdated, replacement might be the more reliable, long-term solution. J & Sons provides expert skylight inspection to diagnose the exact cause. Our skilled technicians perform both skylight repair and installation, ensuring a watertight seal that stands up to Pacific Northwest weather, protecting your attic and home interior from water damage.

Regular inspections are crucial for catching small issues before they become major, costly repairs. Our attic inspection can reveal hidden signs of leaks from skylights or roof valleys, improper ventilation leading to moisture buildup (which worsens algae growth), and insulation problems. A complementary exterior roof inspection checks for damaged or missing shingles, clogged or failing gutters, and wear around penetrations like vents. This proactive approach allows us to recommend targeted repairs or maintenance, like gutter cleaning or roof repair, to extend your roof's life.
