Those black streaks are likely algae, common here due to our moisture. While cleaning can help, it's often a surface fix. We recommend a professional inspection to assess the shingle health underneath. For a long-term solution, we can install algae-resistant shingles designed for our climate, which prevent regrowth and protect your roof's lifespan.

Yes, addressing ridge cap damage promptly is crucial in Portland. The ridge cap seals the peak of your roof, and any compromise can let in wind-driven rain and moisture, leading to interior leaks and attic damage. We can perform targeted repairs to reseal the ridge, ensuring your roof's critical waterproofing barrier is intact before the next major storm.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, and always after a major storm. Our wet winters and occasional high winds can cause wear that isn't always visible from the ground. A proactive inspection helps catch minor issues like loose ridge caps or early algae growth before they lead to costly repairs or interior water damage.
