Winston-Salem Roof Repair | Fix Algae Stains & Skylight Leaks | Linares Roofing

The black streaks you see are actually a type of algae common in our humid climate. Simply power washing can damage shingles. We use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash system with EPA-approved cleaners that safely kill the algae at the root and help prevent it from returning quickly, which is crucial for our local weather.

Skylight leaks in our area are often due to more than just failed sealant. The issue can be improper flashing installation, ice dam damage from winter, or worn-out membrane seals. Our repair process involves a full inspection of the flashing, seals, and surrounding shingles to find the true source of the water intrusion and provide a lasting fix.

Absolutely. During any service call, we provide a complimentary roof health check. We look for early signs of algae growth, check ventilation to reduce moisture buildup, and inspect flashing and seals around penetrations like skylights—common weak points. This proactive, local-focused approach helps you address small issues before they become major, costly repairs.
