Bartlett Roofing – What You Need to Know About Mold In Your Roof

You have probably seen homes in your area with roofs covered in unsightly black streaks or fuzzy brown and green organic growth. These are signs of mold growth. Mold can seem like a small problem at first, but it can have a negative effect on your respiratory health and the structural stability of your home. Here is what you need to know about mold.

Mold is a very common allergen, causing many of the typical allergy symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, runny nose or watery, and itchy eyes. It could be invading your home through a leak in your roof. Mold can be a source of allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances such as mycotoxins, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Mold can be difficult to manage because you don’t only need to worry about your own home. Mold spores can travel through the air from one home to another. This means that if your neighbor’s roof shows signs of mold damage, you will need to be vigilant to prevent mold spores from taking up residence on your roof as well.

Mold requires a very specific set of environmental conditions to be present in order for it to thrive most species of mold like cool, moist environments. You can help to prevent mold growth by making your roof an unwelcoming place.

You should make immediate repairs to any leaks that you identify in your roof. This will prevent the moisture that mold loves from building up on your roof. You should also trim away all tree branches that might be hanging over your roof. Direct sunlight can help deter mold growth by heating the surface of your roof.

If you are worried about the effect of mold might have on your family health and your home, give us a call or schedule a free inspection or book online. We will help you get the proper repairs to manage the mold on your roof.

Bartlett Roofing is a fantastic business to work with. Our first impression was with Alexander Lyons, who was very professional and helpful all the way through the roof repair process. He was very kind and we could always contact him if we had any questions. The office was great also. Both Alexander and the main office were easy to reach and very thorough in their communication. I highly recommend them.

I'm a Realtor here in the valley, so I see a lot of roof replacements and repairs. After my experience with Bartlett, I can definitively say they're the best in the Treasure Valley, hands down. Bartlett roofing did a fantastic job with my roof installation. Huge shout out to Scott who helped navigate the entire process which was very daunting dealing with my insurance company. They did exactly what they said they were going to do, on time, with the best roofing material I've seen. If you're looking for an amazing roofing company, I highly recommend Bartlett.

Garrett with Bartlett Roofing was great to work with and my overall experience with Bartlett Roofing was excellent. Garrett took all the guesswork out of my roof repair due to wind damage. On his initial inspection he clearly indicated where it was obvious a high wind event had removed many shingles and cracked a bunch more, taking pictures and documenting the damage, then was able to meet my insurance adjuster on site to review the damage and establish the claim. The roofing work was scheduled, completed in a timely fashion, and was done to a high quality standard. From start to finish, I give this company high marks and I now have a roof that will not lead to leaks and worse insurance claims down the road. Thank you, Garrett, and Bartlett Roofing!

Our roof was badly damaged from a windstorm. Adam inspected our roof, helped us to submit our claim and had our roof replaced in no time. He made the process simple and stress free. The quality of work is amazing. They had the old roof off and the new one installed in one day! The crew also did a fantastic job of cleaning up when they were done. We always hear people complaining about finding nails everywhere after having their roof replaced. We did not have that experience. I will recommend them to anyone who needs their roof replaced or repaired.

I recently had my entire roof replaced by Bartlett Roofing. Thomas and Suzy were awesome to work with. They answered every question we had and kept us informed on both our insurance claims and out of pocket expenses along the way so there were no surprises! The installers were fast, professional and very respectful! They finished our entire roof in a day and my property was left cleaner than when they arrived! I cannot say enough good things about Bartlett Roofing and the staff they have working for them! If you need a roof replaced, repaired or inspected, Bartlett Roofing is who you should call every time!

We have been trying to get our insurance to cover our outdated roof for 2 years now. We have had 3 different roofers try. Like the other Bartlett was told no. However, Joe didn't take that as a final answer. He kept submitting reports of the damage and finally was able to get a yes from our insurance. We picked out our roof color easily. Suzie in scheduling worked with us after we had to change our installation date a few times. On the day of installation the team was on the time and work quickly to complete our roof. After they were done, Joe came out to make sure everything was good. After that another inspector came out (Lake, I believe his name was). The whole experience was professional but personal. They did a great job. Thank you Bartlett Team!

Jake with Bartlett Roofing was great! He was informative and transparent about the whole process. Everything was so simple and went exactly as Jake said it would. There were no surprises and installation took only one day. The crew did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with our new roof.
