Murphy Construction & Home Repair | General Contractors & Roofing in Ferguson, KY 42533

Yes, skylight leaks are a frequent problem we see in our area, often caused by worn seals, flashing failures, or ice dam damage. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. Our repair typically involves resealing the perimeter with high-quality, weather-resistant materials, replacing damaged flashing, and ensuring proper integration with your existing roof system to prevent future leaks and water damage.

Those dark streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid climate. We don't recommend high-pressure washing, as it can damage shingles. Instead, we use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash with EPA-approved cleaning solutions that safely kill the algae and rinse away the stains. To prevent regrowth, we can apply a zinc or copper strip treatment near the roof ridge, which inhibits algae with each rainfall.

Absolutely. As your local general contractor, we provide a complete solution. We'll first repair the roof leak at its source, whether it's the skylight, shingles, or flashing. Then, our team can seamlessly handle any resulting interior repairs, such as fixing stained ceilings, replacing damaged drywall, and repainting—ensuring your home is fully restored inside and out with a single, coordinated project.
