Jacobs Greener Shingles | Roofing Services in Alpena, MI 49707

In Alpena, skylight leaks are often due to failed seals or flashing damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The most effective fix involves a thorough inspection to find the exact failure point, followed by resealing with high-grade, flexible sealants and, if necessary, replacing the flashing. We ensure the repair is integrated with your existing roofing system to prevent future leaks, especially during our heavy snow melts and spring rains.

We use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically formulated to kill the algae and lift the stains without the harsh scrubbing that can strip shingle granules. This gentle yet effective method is crucial for preserving your roof's lifespan and warranty. We also offer advice on installing zinc or copper strips at the roof's peak, a long-term solution to prevent algae from returning in our humid lakeside climate.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the late spring or early fall. This timing allows us to assess any winter damage from ice and snow and prepare your roof for the next season. Regular inspections help catch small issues like early sealant wear on skylights or the first signs of algae growth before they become major, costly repairs.
