Q&A
What should I do about dark stains on my roof in Cranston?
Those dark stains are often algae, a common issue in our humid Rhode Island climate. Mac Construction addresses this by safely cleaning the affected areas and can apply preventative treatments. More importantly, we'll inspect for any underlying damage the growth may have caused to your shingles. For persistent issues, we can discuss roofing solutions designed to resist future algae growth, helping protect your Cranston home.
How do you prepare surfaces for exterior painting in New England weather?
Proper preparation is critical for paint to last through our seasonal changes. Our process includes a thorough inspection for wood rot or masonry cracks, power washing to remove mildew and old flaking paint, careful scraping and sanding, and the application of high-quality primers and sealants. We time projects to avoid painting in extreme humidity or cold, ensuring the best possible adhesion and durability for your Cranston home.
Can you repair a leaking chimney flashing?
Yes, chimney flashing leaks are a frequent repair we handle. The problem often occurs where the flashing meets the brick or roof deck. We remove the compromised sections, inspect the underlying roof and chimney structure for water damage, install new, properly fitted flashing with durable sealants, and integrate it seamlessly with your existing roofing system. This targeted repair helps prevent interior water damage and preserves the integrity of both your chimney and roof.
