Those black streaks are likely algae stains, a common issue in our area due to humidity. While it's not just dirt, professional roof cleaning can safely remove the algae and restore your roof's appearance. More importantly, we recommend an inspection first. Algae can trap moisture and accelerate granule loss on your shingles. Our cleaning service addresses the stain while our inspection ensures the underlying shingles are still protecting your home effectively.

Not necessarily. Finding granules in your gutters is a sign of shingle wear, which is common over time and can be worsened by local factors like algae growth. The key is a professional roof inspection. We'll assess the extent of the granule loss and the overall condition of your roof. Often, targeted roof repairs or a re-roofing over existing layers can be a cost-effective solution. We'll provide honest advice on whether a repair, re-roof, or full replacement is the best long-term investment for your Brownstown home.

This is a great question for local homeowners. A roof repair addresses a specific, isolated problem like a leak or damage from a storm. A re-roof, or overlay, involves installing new shingles directly over one existing layer. For many homes in Brownstown Township dealing with widespread algae or granule loss, a re-roof can be a smart option if the decking is sound. However, if moisture has been trapped due to algae, a full tear-off and replacement might be needed to prevent rot. We'll help you choose the right service after a thorough inspection.
