T and T Construction of Brevard | Roofing Services in Melbourne, FL 32940

Those dark streaks are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrives in our humid Florida climate, especially on north-facing roof slopes with less sun. It's not just cosmetic; it can degrade roofing granules over time. T and T Construction provides professional roof cleaning using safe, low-pressure techniques and EPA-approved solutions to kill the algae without damaging your shingles. We can also install zinc or copper strips at the roof ridge as a long-term preventative measure to inhibit future growth.

Shingle curling in our area is often a sign of moisture intrusion or improper attic ventilation. Heat and humidity trapped in your attic can 'cook' the shingles from underneath, causing them to curl and become brittle. Yes, it's a serious issue as curled shingles lose their protective ability, leading to leaks and water damage. T and T Construction will conduct a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause—whether it's ventilation, underlayment, or installation issues—and recommend targeted repairs or a partial/full replacement with properly ventilated, high-quality materials suited for Brevard County.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For isolated curling and surface-level algae, a professional cleaning and targeted repair by T and T Construction may be sufficient. However, widespread curling often indicates systemic failure, where a replacement becomes the more cost-effective, long-term solution. Our experts will provide a honest, no-pressure assessment. If replacement is needed, we use algae-resistant shingles with enhanced warranties and ensure optimal attic ventilation to combat the local climate issues, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
