First, safely assess visible damage from the ground and document any issues with photos. Then, contact a professional roofer like Northstar for a thorough, no-obligation inspection. We'll check for loose or missing shingles, dented vents, and hidden damage from wind-driven debris that can lead to leaks. Prompt inspection and temporary repairs can prevent minor storm damage from turning into a major, costly problem.

Those black streaks are typically Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our warm, humid climate. While it doesn't immediately rot your shingles, it can retain moisture and slowly degrade the protective granules. More importantly, it significantly detracts from your home's appearance and can affect property value. Professional cleaning removes the stains safely without damaging your shingles.

In many cases, localized storm damage can be effectively repaired by matching existing materials and ensuring a seamless, watertight fix. Our priority is always to recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your home. We will provide a detailed assessment; if the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is in good condition, a quality repair is often the best course of action to resolve the immediate issue.
