For the dark algae stains common in our humid climate, we use a professional soft-wash technique. This low-pressure cleaning method effectively kills the algae and moss without damaging your shingles. It's a safer, longer-lasting solution than high-pressure power washing, which can strip away protective granules. We can also apply preventative treatments to slow the return of the stains.

The high humidity and temperature fluctuations in Sylvania can accelerate corrosion, especially on standard galvanized steel flashing. At Rick's Roofing, we combat this by using superior, corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or coated metals for our flashing installations and replacements. Proper installation is also key—we ensure all flashing is correctly integrated with the shingles and sealed to prevent water intrusion, which is the real cause of damage.

It depends on the extent of the corrosion. During our inspection, we'll assess the condition of the flashing and the surrounding roof deck. Often, we can perform a targeted repair by replacing just the damaged sections of flashing and resealing the area. However, if the corrosion is widespread or has led to significant wood rot underneath, a more extensive repair or full flashing replacement may be necessary to ensure a lasting fix. We'll always give you a straightforward, honest recommendation.
