Jordan Clifford Roofing | Roofing Services in Whitwell, TN 37397

Whitwell's location in the Sequatchie Valley makes it prone to strong, gusty winds that can loosen or damage the shingles along your roof's peak, known as the ridge cap. We fix this by carefully removing the damaged materials, inspecting the underlying decking, and installing a new, high-wind rated ridge cap system. We use extra fasteners and specialized sealants to ensure a secure, watertight seal that can withstand our local weather patterns.

Those black or green streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid Tennessee climate. Simply pressure washing can damage shingles. Our professional cleaning method uses a low-pressure application of a specialized, eco-friendly solution that kills the algae at the root. We then apply a preventative zinc or copper treatment at the ridge to inhibit future growth, safely restoring your roof's appearance without harming the shingle granules.

In many cases, localized repairs are perfectly effective. We'll provide a thorough, honest inspection. If the ridge cap damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is sound, a repair is the smart, cost-effective choice. Similarly, algae stains are primarily cosmetic and can almost always be addressed with our cleaning and treatment service. We only recommend a full replacement if we find widespread, underlying issues affecting the roof's structure or waterproofing ability.
