If you're a Germantown homeowner who has received a letter from your insurance company about your roof's condition, you're part of a growing trend across Shelby County. Insurers are increasingly using satellite imagery to identify roofing systems with significant Gloeocapsa magma algae staining or visible deterioration, and they're threatening non-renewal for homeowners who don't address the issue within a specified timeframe. In Germantown's humid, tree-shaded neighborhoods, this algae can cover significant portions of an asphalt shingle roof within just a few years making a relatively young roofing system look old and neglected from above. That appearance is exactly what triggers the insurer's attention. Reborn Roofing LLC addresses this issue with professional roof cleaning that eliminates algae safely and restores your shingles' appearance to satisfy insurance requirements. We document every service with before-and-after photographs you can submit to your insurance provider as proof of proactive maintenance. In many cases, a cleaning combined with a Roof Maxx rejuvenation treatment resolves the concern without the cost of full roof replacement a significant savings for Germantown homeowners.
