In Seattle's damp climate, roof algae is common but shouldn't be cleaned with high pressure, which can damage shingles. The safest, most effective method is a low-pressure, soft wash with an EPA-approved, biodegradable cleaning solution. This kills the algae at the root and allows the stains to wash away with rain over time, protecting your shingle granules and extending your roof's life. We use this precise, gentle technique to restore your roof's appearance without causing harm.

Yes, ridge cap damage should be addressed promptly. The ridge cap is a critical seal along the peak of your roof, and any broken, cracked, or missing sections can allow wind-driven rain to penetrate your attic, leading to water damage, mold, and insulation issues. We recommend a professional inspection after major storms. Our repairs involve carefully removing the damaged section and installing new, matching materials with proper sealing to restore a watertight barrier against Seattle's weather.

Many localized issues, like isolated ridge cap damage or leaks from a specific storm event, can be effectively repaired without a full replacement. Our approach is always to recommend the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your home. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to assess the overall health of your roof. If the surrounding shingles are in good condition and the damage is confined, a precise repair is often the best course. We'll always provide a clear, honest assessment of your options.
