The black streaks on many local roofs are a stubborn algae called Gloeocapsa magma. We use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution specifically formulated to kill the algae and remove the stains without damaging your shingles. It's important to avoid high-pressure washing, which can strip the protective granules and shorten your roof's life.

Ridge caps are the highest point on your roof, taking the brunt of wind, snow, and ice in Poughkeepsie. Over time, the constant exposure and thermal expansion can loosen or crack the seals. Our repair service involves carefully removing damaged caps, inspecting the underlying decking, and installing new, high-quality ridge vents or caps with durable seals to restore protection.

Absolutely. A properly sealed ridge cap is crucial for attic ventilation, which helps regulate temperature and moisture. When it's damaged, you risk leaks, ice dams in winter, and increased cooling costs in summer. By repairing it promptly, we help prevent these secondary issues, protecting your home's structure and improving energy efficiency year-round.
