Certified Roof Repair in Salem, OR 97301 - Lovins Roofing Service

In Salem, the most frequent culprit is failed chimney flashing—the metal seal between your chimney and roof. Our wet winters and temperature swings can cause the flashing to corrode, crack, or pull away. We fix it by carefully removing the old material, inspecting the underlying structure for water damage, and installing new, code-compliant flashing with durable sealants to create a watertight barrier that lasts.

Those are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, very common in Salem's damp, shaded environments. While not mold, it can trap moisture and degrade roofing granules over time. Yes, we safely remove it using a low-pressure, eco-friendly cleaning solution that eliminates the algae without damaging your shingles, helping restore your roof's appearance and health.

Key signs for repair are isolated issues like a few missing shingles or a small leak. If you're seeing widespread granule loss, sagging, leaks in multiple areas, or your roof is approaching 20-25 years old (common for many Salem homes), a replacement may be more cost-effective. We offer free, honest assessments to evaluate your roof's condition specific to our local climate and recommend the best long-term solution for your home.
