Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in our humid climate. While gentle cleaning can help, it's often a temporary fix. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment that safely removes the growth, followed by applying zinc or copper-algae-resistant strips at the roof's peak. This provides long-term prevention, protecting your shingles and avoiding the need for frequent, potentially damaging cleanings.

Any visible sagging in your roofline should be taken seriously here in Helena. Signs of an emergency include a pronounced dip or valley in the roof, interior ceiling cracks or bulging, and doors/windows that suddenly stick. This often indicates compromised roof trusses or decking, potentially from long-term moisture intrusion or past storm stress. We recommend a prompt, no-obligation inspection to assess the structural integrity and prevent further damage to your home.

Absolutely. When installing a new roof or recommending protective coatings, we focus on solutions tailored for our area.

For painting, we use high-quality, breathable elastomeric coatings that can help protect underlying materials. Our goal is to build in durability from the start to combat Helena's specific climate challenges.
