Dirt, moss, and algae are washed off at low pressure so granules stay on the shingles. The roof then dries completely before any repair or coating.
Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles are replaced to match the roof, and exposed nail heads are sealed.
Step flashing, vent boots, and wall flashing get sealant or reinforced fabric where they have pulled away from the wall or pipe.
