Polizzotto Roofing & Siding | Roofing Services in Allentown, PA 18102

The black streaks are algae stains, often called 'roof algae,' which thrive in our humid Pennsylvania climate. They don't typically damage the shingles immediately but can shorten their lifespan and look unsightly. Polizzotto Roofing & Siding cleans these stains using safe, effective methods and can apply preventative treatments or install algae-resistant shingles during a replacement to keep your roof looking clean and functioning properly for years.

The ridge cap is the sealing line along the peak of your roof. It's crucial for preventing wind and water infiltration, which are common issues here in Allentown. Damage here can lead to leaks and interior damage. Polizzotto's experts will inspect the damage, remove the old cap, and install a new, properly sealed ridge vent or cap using high-quality materials, ensuring your roof's peak is secure and weathertight again.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your roof. For isolated algae stains or a single damaged ridge section, a professional repair and cleaning by Polizzotto is often sufficient. However, if your roof is older and showing widespread wear alongside these issues, a full replacement with modern, durable materials might be the more economical long-term solution. Their team provides a thorough, honest assessment to help you make the best decision for your home and budget.
