Roofing by the Square | Roofing Services in McKeesport, PA 15132

The humid climate in our region creates a perfect environment for gloeocapsa magma, the algae that causes those dark streaks. It's not just cosmetic; over time, it can degrade roofing materials. We use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely eliminates the algae without damaging your shingles, restoring your roof's appearance and health.

Nail pops are very common here due to the expansion and contraction of roof decking from our hot summers and cold winters. A popped nail can break the seal on a shingle, leading to leaks. We address this by carefully removing the old nail, securing the shingle, and sealing it with a professional-grade roofing cement to prevent water intrusion.

Not every issue requires a full replacement. We provide a thorough, honest inspection to assess the extent of the damage. Often, issues like localized algae staining or a few nail pops can be effectively repaired. We'll only recommend a replacement if it's necessary for the long-term protection of your home, ensuring you get the most value from your investment.
