Those common black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. While DIY solutions exist, we recommend professional soft washing. This method uses low-pressure, specialized cleaners to kill the algae at the root and rinse it away without damaging your shingles' protective granules. Harsh pressure washing or improper chemicals can void shingle warranties and cause premature wear.

Nail pops are a frequent issue in our area due to the expansion and contraction of roof decking with Maryland's temperature swings. Over time, nails can work their way up. Yes, you should be concerned, as each popped nail is a potential entry point for water. Kennedy's addresses this by carefully removing the old nail, sealing the hole, and installing a new, properly seated nail with a sealant to prevent future leaks and protect your home's interior.

In most cases, targeted repairs are a perfect and cost-effective solution. Our expert team will conduct a thorough inspection of your Rising Sun home's roof. We'll assess the overall health of your shingles and decking. If the damage is isolated, we can perform precise cleaning, repairs, and resealing to address the immediate problems, extending your roof's life and saving you the expense of premature replacement.
