## Common Roof Issues in San Jose

San Jose’s climate creates specific roofing problems. Here are the most frequent issues we see and how we fix them.

### Heat Damage and UV Degradation

Long, hot summers with intense sun cause asphalt shingles to dry out, crack, and lose granules. This accelerates aging and reduces your roof’s ability to reflect heat. We recommend cool-roof coatings or reflective shingles that lower attic temperatures and extend roof life.

### Moss and Algae from Marine Moisture

Foggy mornings trap moisture on north-facing slopes and shaded areas. Moss lifts shingles, allowing water to seep underneath, while algae leaves dark streaks. Our cleaning and treatment services remove growth without damaging shingles, and we install zinc strips to prevent regrowth.

### Leaks During Winter Storms

Heavy Pacific storms test your roof’s waterproofing. Common leak points include damaged flashing around chimneys and skylights, clogged gutters, and worn sealant at vents. We inspect and seal these vulnerable spots to keep your home dry.

### Poor Attic Ventilation

Many San Jose homes lack adequate ventilation, trapping heat and moisture. This can warp decking, void shingle warranties, and increase energy bills. We assess your attic and install ridge vents, soffit vents, or powered fans to balance airflow.
