Yadkin Roofing & Repair | Whitakers Construction - Local Contractors

Those dark streaks are likely gloeocapsa magma algae, common in our humid NC climate. While not always structurally damaging, they can trap moisture and degrade shingles. For a lasting solution, we recommend a professional soft wash to safely remove the stains. More importantly, we can install zinc or copper strips along your roof ridge. When it rains, these metals release ions that prevent algae from returning, protecting your roof's appearance and lifespan.

Finding some granules, especially after a new roof is installed, is normal. However, excessive granule loss is a serious sign of wear, often accelerated by our local weather patterns like hail or intense sun. Granules protect the asphalt in shingles from UV rays. Significant loss leads to faster aging, cracks, and leaks. We recommend a professional inspection. Depending on the severity, we can provide targeted repairs or discuss a replacement with impact-resistant shingles suited for our area.
