Those black stains are likely Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae common in our humid coastal climate. While it can be unsightly, the real concern is that it retains moisture and can degrade roofing granules over time. We recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically formulated for roofs, which safely removes the stains without damaging your shingles. We can also apply a zinc or copper strip treatment during your repair or replacement to help prevent future growth.

It's wise to do a visual inspection from the ground after high winds. Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles, or granules collecting in your gutters. Inside your attic, check for daylight coming through the roof boards or any signs of moisture. In Bourne, even minor wind damage can lead to leaks during the next nor'easter. We offer free, thorough storm damage inspections to assess your roof's condition and work directly with insurance companies to help streamline the claims process for necessary repairs.

Absolutely. The salt air, sun, and humidity in Bourne can break down paint quickly. We use high-quality, exterior-grade paints and primers specifically formulated for coastal environments. Proper surface preparation is key—we'll address any peeling, sand, and prime to ensure a lasting finish. A professional paint job by our team does more than improve curb appeal; it provides a crucial protective barrier against moisture and UV damage, helping your siding and trim last longer.
