Those dark streaks are likely algae stains, a common issue in our area due to humidity. While a professional roof cleaning can remove the stains, it's often a sign of underlying moisture retention. We recommend a thorough roof inspection first. For a longer-term fix, we can discuss installing algae-resistant shingles during a roof replacement, which are specifically designed to prevent this problem in the Wheaton climate.

Finding granules in your gutters is a sign of roof granule loss, which is common as asphalt shingles age and are exposed to Wheaton's weather extremes. It doesn't always mean a full replacement is needed immediately. Our process starts with a detailed roof inspection to assess the overall shingle health and the extent of the loss. Often, targeted roof repair or a section re-roofing can address the issue, but we'll give you an honest assessment and all your options to protect your home.

Absolutely. Properly functioning gutters are your roof's first line of defense. Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under your shingles, accelerating granule loss and creating a damp environment where algae and moss thrive. As a full-service contractor, we can perform gutter cleaning, repair, or install a new gutter system as part of a holistic approach. This, combined with our roofing expertise, ensures water is channeled safely away from your home, extending your roof's lifespan.
