Scates Corporation | Roofing Services in Mount Airy, MD 21771

Those dark streaks are often algae stains, a common issue in our area due to humidity and tree cover. While not always an immediate structural problem, algae can degrade roofing materials over time. Scates Corporation offers professional roof cleaning to safely remove the growth and assess the underlying shingles. We can also discuss preventative treatments and recommend replacement materials with algae-resistant properties if needed, based on our decades of experience with local conditions.

With over 45 years serving local families, we understand the specific needs of older homes in Mount Airy. Our gutter installation process begins with a detailed inspection of your home's fascia, roofline, and drainage patterns. We then recommend the appropriate gutter size, style, and material—like aluminum or copper—to handle our regional rainfall effectively while complementing your home's architecture. Our goal is a system that functions perfectly for decades and looks like it belongs, backed by our family's long-standing craftsmanship.

Flashing—the metal strips sealing joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys—is a primary defense against water intrusion. In our climate, flashing is susceptible to corrosion, which can lead to leaks and interior damage. During any roof repair or replacement, Scates Corporation meticulously inspects and addresses all flashing. We use high-quality, compatible metals and proven sealing techniques to ensure these critical points are restored to their most watertight condition, a standard practice born from Cary Scates' 50 years of roofing knowledge.
