Those black stains are often a type of algae common in our humid Maine climate. While not structurally damaging, they can retain moisture and shorten shingle life. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically formulated for roofs, which safely kills the algae without damaging your shingles. Harsh pressure washing can strip away the protective granules, so it's best to leave this to experts.

A leaking chimney flashing is a very common issue here and rarely requires a full roof replacement. We'll inspect the flashing—the metal seals around your chimney—for cracks, corrosion, or separation. Most often, we can repair or replace just the flashing section with new, code-compliant materials sealed with high-grade urethane or roofing cement. We'll also check the surrounding shingles to ensure a watertight seal.

In Clinton's climate, it's crucial to act fast. Even a small leak can lead to mold, rot in your roof deck and attic framing, and damage to insulation and drywall. We recommend scheduling an inspection at the first sign of a water stain, musty smell, or visible drip. We offer prompt leak diagnostics to find the source (often at the flashing, valleys, or around vents) and provide a repair plan to prevent further damage to your home.
