Merritt Roofing | Roofing Services in Greenville, SC 29607

Our professional roof inspections in Greenville specifically check for the dark streaks and discoloration caused by Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. We assess the extent of the growth, check for any underlying moisture or granule loss it may have caused, and provide a clear recommendation. This could range from a professional cleaning to preserve your roof's life to discussing if a reroofing or replacement is a more cost-effective long-term solution.

After a storm, our team will assess whether repair or replacement is needed. A repair is suitable for isolated damage—like a few missing shingles or a small leak from debris impact. However, if we find widespread granule loss, multiple broken or lifted shingles, or underlying deck damage across large sections, a full roof replacement is often the safer, more economical choice for long-term protection. We'll provide an honest, detailed assessment to ensure your Greenville home is secure.

Absolutely. When we install a new roof or skylight in Greenville, we prioritize materials and methods suited for our local conditions. We recommend algae-resistant shingles to combat stains and impact-resistant options for better hail protection. For skylights, we ensure expert flashing and sealing to prevent leaks, which is critical given our rainfall. Our goal is to provide a solution that enhances your home while being built to withstand the specific challenges of the Upstate SC climate.
