In New Milford's climate, roof algae (often called "black streaks") is common. The safest and most effective method is a professional soft wash treatment. We use specialized, eco-friendly cleaners that kill the algae at the root without damaging your shingles. High-pressure washing can strip granules and void warranties, so we avoid it. A proper cleaning not only restores your home's appearance but can also help extend your roof's lifespan.

Rusting flashing is a frequent issue here due to our wet springs and snowy winters, which accelerate corrosion on standard galvanized steel. We inspect to see if it's a surface issue or a full failure. For repair, we typically replace compromised sections with modern, rust-resistant materials like aluminum or coated steel, ensuring a watertight seal with the surrounding shingles. Proper flashing is critical to preventing leaks, so addressing rust promptly is key to protecting your home's interior.

We always start with a thorough, no-obligation inspection. For localized problems like isolated flashing failure or algae confined to one slope, targeted repairs and cleaning are often perfectly sufficient and cost-effective. However, if we find widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, or underlying decking damage—common when issues are left unaddressed—a replacement may be the more reliable long-term investment. We'll provide a clear, honest assessment and explain all your options.
