If yes, don’t be too alarmed, it’s not your fault or a result of poor home maintenance because it happens to most homeowners at one time or another. Those nasty looking dark streaks across your roof are caused by the bacteria gloeocapsa magma, simply put, algae growth and usually happens on the north side or shaded area of your roof. There is very little scientific evidence that algae growth will harm your roof but many roofing professionals say that besides being ugly to look at it actually can shorten the life span of a roof. Hard Hatters’ roof cleaning service is simple and straightforward. We manually remove any loose debris from your roof and gutters. We use a chemical spray to kill the algae. Sometimes two chemical applications are necessary to remove heavier than normal algae growth. We use a low-pressure wash so we won’t damage your roof to remove both the algae and chemicals. We walk the perimeter of your home and clean up any loose debris. And that’s all there is to it.

Our highly trained professional technicians are experts at repairing your home or business skylights. The Most Common Problem The most commonly reported problem with skylights is leaking. Since all skylights are installed on your roof they have little or no protection from the elements and can take a real beating from Mother Nature. Leaking skylights allow water or moisture into your home or business and can be very disruptive depending on the severity of the leak. Skylight Leak Causes There are many reasons why skylights leak. Here are a few: Poor installation - the skylight is not fitted properly Poor maintenance - the skylight does not receive proper care Material aging – the skylight materials deteriorate over time A very common reason for skylights to fail is flashing. The flashing is a thin piece of impervious material installed to prevent water from passing into your structure from a joint or a weather-resistant barrier. Flashings are intended to prevent water from leaking into chimneys, vents or skylights. Poorly installed, maintained, and aging flashing can result in water leaking into your structure. Hard Hatters Roofing has seen it all and knows how to fix your skylight problem. So give us a call to learn more about our repair process and to schedule one of our professionals to come out for a free repair estimate. --- - Published: 2019-10-18 - Modified: 2024-04-09 - URL: https://hardhattersroofing.com/gallery/ Before: New Roof with Copper Flashing After: New Roof with Copper Flashing Before: Roof Replacement After: GAF Timberline HD shingles in ‘Hickory’ Before- Roof Replacement After: GAF Timberline HD shingles in ‘Hickory’ Before- Roof Replacement After-Tamko Heritage Shingles Before: Commercial Roof Replacement After: Commercial Roof Replacement Before- Roof Replacement After- GAF Timberline HD shingles Before roof deck replacement After roof deck replacement Before - full roof replacement After - full roof replacement Before- Roof Replacement After- New Roof --- - Published: 2019-10-18 - Modified: 2024-04-09 - URL: https://hardhattersroofing.com/contact/ Interested in a Quote?
