Roofing Services Knoxville TN | Call Traynor Roofing Company

Granule loss on asphalt shingles in Knoxville is often caused by aging, severe weather like hail or heavy rain, and improper installation. A small amount over time is normal, but accelerated loss exposes the asphalt mat to UV rays, leading to faster deterioration and potential leaks. If you notice granules in your gutters or bare spots, it's a sign your roof needs a professional inspection. We can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the right repair or replacement to protect your home.

The dark streaks or stains on roofs in our humid Knoxville climate are typically Gloeocapsa magma algae. While mostly an aesthetic issue, it can retain moisture and shorten shingle life. We do not recommend high-pressure washing, as it can damage shingles. The most effective long-term solution is a professional soft wash treatment with an EPA-approved, algae-killing solution. For new roofs or replacements, we also recommend installing algae-resistant shingles, which have copper granules that inhibit future growth.

We offer a full range of services tailored to Knoxville's needs. This includes detailed roof inspections to diagnose granule loss or algae issues, targeted repairs for isolated damage, professional roof cleaning to safely remove algae stains, and complete roof replacements. For replacements, we use durable, algae-resistant materials suited for our local weather. Our goal is to provide the most effective and lasting solution, whether it's a simple repair to extend your roof's life or a full installation for ultimate protection.
