Santamaria Construction | Roofing Services in Fletcher, NC 28791

For the dark algae streaks common here, we use a professional, low-pressure cleaning solution that safely kills the growth without damaging your shingles. More importantly, we install zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge. When it rains, trace amounts of metal wash down, creating an environment that prevents algae from returning—a highly effective, long-term solution for our area's humidity.

Skylight leaks in Fletcher are often due to failed flashing or sealant breaking down from sun exposure and temperature swings. We don't just re-caulk; we perform a full diagnostic to find the exact failure point. Our repair involves removing the old flashing, installing new, properly integrated flashing with ice and water shield where needed, and using premium sealants to create a watertight seal that withstands our mountain weather.

Algae is primarily cosmetic but can retain moisture and shorten shingle life. If stains are widespread or you see moss growth, it's time to call. For leaks, don't wait for a ceiling stain. Check for water marks in your attic after heavy rain, feel for dampness around skylight frames, or notice granules in your gutters. Early intervention by a local pro like us prevents much costlier structural damage down the line.
