Same here—pressure washing did more harm than good. About those spray-on treatments: I tried one last spring (can’t remember the brand), and honestly,...
That lines up with what I’ve seen. I tried a couple of those “miracle” patch kits on my low-sloped garage roof last spring—looked sealed at first, but...
Foam inserts were a total letdown for me, too. They just turned into a soggy mess and clogged up worse than bare gutters. I’ve tried a bunch of guards...

Couldn't agree more. While I'm usually skeptical about jumping straight into invasive inspections, sometimes subtle signs like that soft flooring you ...
Malarkey shingles actually have a pretty solid reputation from what I've seen, despite the goofy name. But honestly, I'd be more cautious about contra...
