Yes, those dark streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a common algae in our humid climate that feeds on limestone in shingles. It's more than just a stain; it can degrade your roofing material over time. Modern Exteriors offers professional roof cleaning to safely remove the algae and stains. For roofs with significant moisture damage or recurring issues, we can discuss repair or replacement options with algae-resistant shingles to prevent future growth.

Roof moisture issues often stem from poor water management. Our gutter installation, replacement, and repair services ensure rainwater is channeled away from your roof and foundation properly. Coupled with expert siding installation or repair, we create a continuous, protective envelope for your home. Properly installed siding acts as a critical drainage plane, preventing water from backing up under roofing materials and into insulation, which is a key solution for the moisture problems common in our area.

Our roof replacement process is thorough and designed for long-term protection. We start with a complete tear-off of old materials to inspect the decking for any moisture damage or rot—a crucial step given local insulation moisture issues. We then repair the deck, install new ice and water shield at critical points, and use high-quality, ventilated underlayment. Finally, we install your new roof, often recommending algae-resistant shingles, and coordinate with gutter and siding teams if needed to ensure your entire exterior system works together to safeguard your home.
