Whether due to age or storm damage, roof damage leaves your home vulnerable to the elements. To avoid further harm, it’s essential to act quickly at the first sign that you need roof repairs, such as:
* Missing shingles or tiles
* Cracked, warped, or curled shingles
* Stained or discolored shingles
* Dislocated, loose, or cracked tiles
* Loose or missing fasteners
* Missing or damaged flashing
* Leaks in the attic or water stains
* Rotten rafters or roof deck
If you suspect that you have roof damage, our experts Ideal Home Improvements Llc can quickly and easily inspect your roof with our state-of-the-art drones.

It’s easy to get confused by the terminology. Roof repair and roof replacement can seem like the same thing, but in fact, these two processes are pretty different from one another. Roof repair is more along the lines of patching up a leak or two while roof replacement refers to the process of taking down your old roof and installing a new one.
When you let things go too long without getting a minor roof repair done, you run the risk of spending a lot of time and money on an entire roof replacement.

Now that you’ve had a quality, sturdy roof installed, you may assume that it’s built to last and that you won’t have to worry about it for decades to come. While often this is true and many roofs can last the lifetime of your home, their lifespan only lengthens with proper maintenance. Therefore, it’s important to understand that protecting your new roof comes with investing in roof repair service every so often.

You may not realize the full benefits of a roof repair if it doesn’t seem like your roof has much wear and tear on the surface. However, it is essential to consider the long term repercussions of not regularly maintaining your roof so you can make an informed decision.
First of all, it saves money in the long run. Sure, you may be less inclined to get a roof repair because of the cost, but imagine how much more a full roof replacement is going to cost if you don’t o the proper maintenance while you can. If it gets to that point, you won’t have the option to save that money. Keep the long term financial benefits in mind and get a roof inspection every few years.

Also, you may be unaware of the state of your roof, so it’s essential that a roof repair specialist comes and checks everything out for you. Just because you can’t see a leak, doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. You could have a roof ridden with leaks that you’re entirely unaware of. Usually, once leaks and damage start to become apparent to the naked eye, you’re probably past the point of no return. Avoid spending extra time and money on a replacement and make sure you don’t leave the damage until it’s too late.
Finally, meeting with a roof repair contractor will not only help you maintain the roof in which you invested so much in the first place, but you can also start planning for when it is necessary to get a roof replacement. You’ll learn approximately how much time your existing roof has left, as well as the cost and upgrades available. That way, you’re not only getting a roof repair, but you’re consciously planning for the future.

The black streaks or black patches on your roof is algae named “Gloeocapsa Magma”. The algae can be spread airborne from other roofs, or it can grow directly onto your roof due to shaded or damp areas away from sunlight.
Once this algae is on your roof, it literally starts to eat your roof by feeding on the crushed limestone of the shingle.
The granular layer of the shingle is the most critical, because this is the top layer that protects your roof the most. If the top layer deteriorates, gets damaged, or is removed it leaves your roof unprotected.
If you see green on your roof, it is most likely lichen or moss. These are the both stages of algae. These stages are typically worse than the black streaks, because the lichen and moss both have thicker roots which attach to the roof surface. If your roof reached this stage, it will require more expense because of increased cleaning time, chemicals, need for light agitation, debris removal, and curing time for final results to be achieved.

Roof Problems - Stage 1: Invisible
Your roof appears to look fine. However, there actually may be spores present or forming that are invisible to the naked eye.
A good test would be to walk through your neighborhood and check neighboring homes to see if they have green algae on their siding, or if your neighbors’ roofs have black streaks on them. If so, you can bet that eventually it can start to grow on your roof through airborne currents. Treating your roof on a 5-year cycle is the best method of avoiding costly damage or roof replacement. This is the least expensive treatment because it requires the lowest meter setting - in other words, Right Way’s least amount of chemicals and applications.

Roof Problems - Stage 2: Black Algae
ALGAE - The black streaks and stains on your roof are algae, technically named Gloeocapsa Your roof is infected because it is partially, or entirely covered by Algae and is already visible. The roof Algae is black in color, either represented by dark streaks or dark shady patches. Typically, the North side of the roof is in the worst condition due to limited sunlight.
MAGMA - The algae typically will transfer to your roof by airborne wind currents, and if left untreated can form very large colonies that can destroy your roof. They feed off the limestone on the shingles, and as they eat and grow they produce more algae. Treating your roof at this stage will kill the Algae, and there will be immediate results the same day of service.
If you do nothing about this algae problem, eventually it will lead to shingle decay and loss of reflective power. The end result, is what we refer to as “Premature Roof Replacement”, which is extremely expensive and unnecessary. The costs of cleaning your roof by a certified SoftWash company is usually only a small fraction of an actual roof replacement.

Roof Problems - Stage 3: Green (Lichen & Moss)
Your roof is heavily infected because you can already see green growth. The roof has green circular blotches present which is Lichen, or is covered by thick green mounds which is moss. This is the worst stage, but if it is caught early it can still be treated and still save your roof.
This stage is more invasive and damaging because both Lichen and Moss have roots that attach to the shingles. This treatment requires a high meter chemical setting, multiple applications and can possible use light agitation and debris removal through several methods. This is the most expensive treatment because of the material and labor costs.

Re-roofing is an expensive proposition; don’t wait until problems arise before addressing it. A roof is said to cost 10% of the total building value which protects 90% of your building investment, and many times it is the most neglected.
