Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to handle moss on my Salem roof?
Moss is common here due to shade and moisture. We don't recommend power washing, as it can damage shingles. Instead, our safe removal process involves applying a specialized treatment to kill the moss, followed by gentle manual removal. We then assess for any underlying moisture damage and may recommend zinc or copper strip installations to prevent future growth, protecting your roof's lifespan.
How quickly should I repair wind damage after a North Shore storm?
Act quickly. Even minor wind damage like lifted or missing shingles can lead to leaks, interior water damage, and mold. We offer prompt emergency inspections to assess the damage, provide temporary tarping if needed, and schedule permanent repairs using materials that match your existing roof and stand up to our local climate.
What roofing materials work best for Salem's weather?
Given our mix of coastal humidity, rain, and winter storms, we recommend durable, algae-resistant asphalt shingles for most homes. For historic properties, we offer appropriate cedar or slate solutions. We select materials with high wind ratings and warranties suited for New England, ensuring your investment provides lasting protection and complements your home's character.
