Watleys roofing | Roofing Services in Savannah, GA 31415

In Savannah's heat and humidity, asphalt shingles can lose granules and curl at the edges, compromising their protection. This is often due to age, poor attic ventilation, or manufacturer defects. We can assess the extent of the curling—whether it's isolated or widespread—and recommend targeted repairs or a full replacement with modern, heat-resistant shingles to restore your roof's integrity.

Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, which thrive in our humid climate. We perform professional, low-pressure cleaning to safely remove stains without damaging shingles. To prevent regrowth, we can install zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge. When rainwater runs over these strips, it deposits trace minerals that inhibit algae, keeping your roof cleaner for years.

Not necessarily. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to determine the root cause. Sometimes, improving attic ventilation can address curling and reduce moisture that feeds algae. If damage is minimal, a repair and cleaning may suffice. We'll always provide a straightforward, detailed recommendation for the most cost-effective solution to protect your Savannah home.
