Those black streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid Michigan climate. While it's mostly cosmetic, it can degrade shingles over time. We recommend a professional, low-pressure cleaning with a specialized solution to safely kill the algae without damaging your shingles. Avoid high-pressure washers, as they can strip the protective granules right off your roof.

Nail pops are very common here due to our extreme temperature swings. The wood in your roof deck expands and contracts, pushing the nails out. While a single pop might not be an emergency, it creates an entry point for water. We recommend scheduling an inspection, especially after winter, to have them properly sealed and secured to prevent potential leaks and water damage to your Mason home.

Absolutely. Proactive maintenance is key. We offer annual inspections to catch nail pops early and assess algae growth. For new roofs or replacements, we can install algae-resistant shingles and use specific techniques and fasteners designed to better withstand our local temperature cycles, giving you long-term peace of mind and protecting your investment.
