Fasto Roofing highlights the advantages of using algae-resistant shingles, particularly in humid climates where algae growth can be a persistent issue.



Why Choose Algae-Resistant Shingles?

Higher Property Value

  • Enhanced Appearance: Algae create dark spots on shingles, affecting the roof’s symmetry and overall curb appeal. Algae-resistant shingles retain their appearance, maintaining your home’s curb appeal and potentially increasing its value.


Better Energy Efficiency

  • Temperature Control: Algae-induced dark spots absorb more heat from the sun, raising your attic's temperature and increasing your home's internal temperature. Algae-resistant shingles help maintain better energy efficiency by preventing these dark spots.


Reduced Maintenance

  • Less Frequent Cleaning: Traditional methods to remove algae, such as roof replacement or power washing, can be costly and potentially damaging to roofing materials. Algae-resistant shingles eliminate the need for such frequent maintenance.


Conclusion

Upgrading to algae-resistant shingles can improve your home's value, energy efficiency, and reduce maintenance needs.
