Humidity and algae
Marsh humidity speeds up the black algae streaks on shingles. Algae-resistant shingles and good attic ventilation help a new roof stay clean and cool.
Roofs we see most
Architectural shingles on ranch homes, metal on newer and waterfront builds, and low-slope sections over porches and sunrooms.
