Ziolkowski Roofing Service | Roofing Services in Damascus, OR 97089

Granule loss is a common sign of aging shingles, especially after our seasonal weather. While some loss is normal, significant bare spots can expose your roof to UV damage and leaks. At Ziolkowski Roofing Service, we start with a thorough roof inspection to assess the extent of the loss. For minor issues, a targeted roof repair may suffice. However, widespread granule loss often indicates it's time for a roof replacement or reroofing to prevent water damage and maintain your home's protection. We can advise on the most cost-effective and durable solution for your situation.

Yes, we offer professional roof cleaning services specifically for the stubborn black algae (Gloeocapsa magma) stains common in our damp Damascus climate. We use safe, effective cleaning methods to remove the stains and restore your roof's appearance without damaging the shingles. To help prevent rapid regrowth, we can discuss installing zinc or copper strips at the roof ridge during a gutter installation or replacement. These strips release ions that wash over the roof with rain, creating an environment that inhibits algae growth for years.

Overflowing gutters in Damascus are often due to clogs from our abundant pine needles and debris, which our gutter cleaning service can resolve. However, if cleaning doesn't solve the problem, it could indicate issues like improper pitch, sagging sections, or damage. During our inspection, we'll check for these problems. If your gutters are old, leaky, or too small for your roof's water runoff, a gutter replacement with a larger, seamless system might be the most reliable long-term solution to protect your home's foundation and siding from water damage.
