Spotting and addressing these early can ward off major damage. Repair or replace damaged shingles quickly to avoid leaks and worsening conditions.

Gutter Maintenance: Ensure gutters and downspouts are debris-free. Blocked gutters can cause water to back up and overflow, leading to roof, fascia, and interior home damage. Clean them routinely, particularly after autumn and spring, for efficient water flow and to avoid roof water issues.

Moss and Algae Management: Act swiftly if you find moss, algae, or fungus on your roof. These can trap moisture, causing rot and shingle deterioration. Use suitable products to eliminate them, but avoid power washing, which can harm shingle surfaces. Opt for a softer cleaning method.

Regular Cedar Shingle Treatments: Treat your Castle Hayne cedar shingles with water repellents, fire repellents, fungicides, and algaecides every one to three years to ward off wear, rot, and damage. Our team is equipped to handle these treatments for you.

Cedar Roof Power Washing: Get your cedar shake roof professionally power washed every few years to remove moss, lichens, and fragile wood, ensuring the roof’s structural integrity.

Monitoring Cedar Shingles for Damage: Keep an eye on your cedar shingles for any signs of rot or cracks. While cedar is naturally water-resistant, it can still suffer from rot due to excessive moisture. Also, wood expansion and contraction can lead to cracking.

Ensure Efficient Drainage: Proper drainage is key for a metal roof’s lifespan. Keep gutters and downspouts debris-free for smooth water flow. Avoid corrosion and damage by preventing water pooling and ensuring the drainage system works well.
