Yes, those black streaks are likely algae stains, a common issue in our humid New England climate. While often mistaken for dirt, algae can actually hold moisture against your shingles, shortening their lifespan. Our professional roof cleaning service safely removes these stains without damaging your roofing materials. We recommend a cleaning to restore your roof's appearance and protect your investment, followed by an inspection to ensure the underlying shingles are still in good condition.

Flashing separation in Norton is often caused by temperature fluctuations, wind uplift, or improper initial installation. Flashing is the metal sealing around chimneys, vents, and valleys, and when it separates, it's a leading cause of roof leaks. During a roof inspection, we meticulously check all flashing points. Our repair process involves carefully removing the compromised section, preparing the area, and installing new, high-quality flashing sealed with durable, waterproof materials to create a long-lasting barrier against the elements.

The decision between repair and replacement depends on the extent of damage, the roof's age, and the frequency of issues. For localized problems like a few damaged shingles or a single area of separated flashing, a repair is often sufficient. However, if your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 20-25 years for asphalt shingles), has widespread algae damage, or you're experiencing multiple leaks from different areas, a full roof replacement in Norton is usually the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We provide honest assessments to help you make the best choice for your home.
