Those common dark streaks are likely gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our damp climate. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically formulated for roofing materials. This safely removes the stains without damaging your shingles. It's also a good opportunity to inspect for any underlying moisture issues the algae might be highlighting.

Hood River's famous winds can relentlessly lift and stress ridge caps, breaking seals and loosening shingles. Our repair involves carefully removing the damaged section, replacing any compromised underlayment, and installing new, high-wind rated ridge cap shingles with specialized adhesives and fasteners to better withstand future gusts common in the Gorge.

Absolutely. Addressing these specific local issues often reveals or prevents larger concerns. Algae can retain moisture, accelerating granule loss and wood rot. A compromised ridge cap is a major entry point for wind-driven rain and pests. By professionally resolving these, we improve overall roof ventilation, prevent interior leaks, and extend the lifespan of your entire roofing system.
