Those dark streaks are a common issue here due to our humidity. While they don't always signal immediate damage, they can trap moisture and shorten your roof's lifespan. For a lasting solution, we recommend a professional soft wash treatment specifically for roofs, which safely removes the algae without damaging your shingles. We can also discuss installing algae-resistant shingles during your next replacement to prevent future stains.

After high winds, it's wise to check for missing, cracked, or lifted shingles, especially on edges and ridges. Look for granules in your gutters, as this indicates wear. From the ground, you might also see sagging. We offer free, thorough post-storm inspections in Bethlehem to assess any damage you might miss. Addressing wind damage quickly prevents leaks and more costly repairs down the line.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall. Given our local weather patterns, this helps catch issues from winter ice or summer storms early. An annual check allows us to spot potential problems with flashing, vents, or early signs of algae or wind damage, helping you plan maintenance and avoid emergency repairs.
