In our humid coastal climate, roof algae (often seen as black streaks) is very common. The best approach is a professional soft wash that safely removes the stains without damaging your shingles. To prevent regrowth, we can discuss installing zinc or copper strips near the roof ridge. As the rainwater runs over these metals, it deposits ions that inhibit algae growth, providing long-term protection for your Brunswick home.

Signs of poor roof ventilation in Brunswick homes often include unusually high attic temperatures, excessive moisture or mold in the attic, ice dam formation in rare cold snaps, and prematurely aging shingles (curling or cracking). If your energy bills are climbing or you feel a blast of hot air when entering the attic, it's time for an inspection. We can assess your intake and exhaust vents to ensure proper airflow, which protects your roof structure and improves home comfort.

Brunswick's combination of high heat and humidity makes ventilation critical. Without it, trapped hot, moist air in your attic can bake your shingles from underneath, drastically shortening their lifespan. It also creates a perfect environment for mold and wood rot, which can compromise your roof decking and structure. Proper ventilation allows that hot air to escape, regulating temperature and moisture to protect your investment and your home's interior.
