Is Salt Spray Harming My Sarasota Roof?
Living the coastal lifestyle in Sarasota has its perks, but it also means roofs are exposed to salt spray from the Gulf. While modern roofing materials are designed to be durable, prolonged exposure to salt can lead to premature wear and tear.
Some of the negative impacts of salt spray on roofs include:
- Corrosion: Salt can corrode metal roof components, like flashing and fasteners, leading to leaks.
- Shingle granules: Salt spray can erode the protective granules on asphalt shingles, making them more susceptible to UV rays and rain damage.
- Clogged gutters: Salt buildup can contribute to clogged gutters, which can cause water damage to roofs and homes.
Wilson Roofing and Renovations understands the unique challenges local homeowners face. We recommend regular roof inspections, especially for homes near the coast. This allows for early identification of any signs of salt damage and provides an opportunity to recommend appropriate solutions to protect investments.

Combatting Algae Growth on Roofs in Sarasota
The presence of black or green streaks on Sarasota roofs is a common issue caused by algae growth. The humid subtropical climate provides an ideal environment for algae to thrive, particularly in shaded areas or on roofs with inadequate ventilation. While algae may appear to be merely an aesthetic concern, it can contribute to the premature deterioration of roofing materials.
Fortunately, algae growth is preventable. Regular roof cleaning can effectively remove existing algae and inhibit its recurrence. Preventative measures, such as installing zinc strips near the roof ridge, are also recommended. As rainwater flows over the zinc, it releases ions that impede algae growth. Additionally, trimming overhanging branches that cast shade on the roof can help mitigate algae formation. Homeowners who observe algae growth on their roofs are encouraged to seek professional assistance to prevent further damage. Contact us today for an inspection and to discuss the best solutions.
