How Blue-Green Algae Causes Damage to Asphalt Shingles

February 4, 2019 by Dior Vass

The black or brown streaks you’re seeing on your roof don’t indicate that there is a growth of mold, mildew or moss. They also don’t mean that the asphalt shingles are deteriorating and need replacement. These dark stains are actually protective UV coating created by the small bacteria, Gloeocpsa magma, or “blue-green algae.”

Hard working, professional, and quality work! The team was in and out in one day. I highly recommend Dior and his team!... [more]

Dior and his company were top notch to work with! Not only did they have all the measurements of the roof and everything prepared before I even met them for an estimate, but their customer relations was also outstanding. I was given a great price, the best warranties, and the best quality materials and installation. I actually got a few other estimates, and not only were their prices higher, but they also gave inferior products compared to Dior. On the day of installation, everybody showed up early and got right to work. At the end of the day I had a beautiful new roof and everything looks amazing. Hudson (project manager) called me and filled throughout the day of the progress and was a pleasure to work with as well. If you are in need of a roof or gutters, I recommend this company very much!... [more]

I hired Dior construction to put a new roof on my house and replace my gutters and I can't say enough good things about my experience. As a first-time homeowner, in a market over-saturated with contractors, I've been overly cautious about who I hire to do any work on my home. Dior put me at ease from the beginning. The entire process was laid out in detail and all my questions were expertly answered. Dior gave attention to every detail and left me with a folder of information highlighting the materials he uses, specifics about his company and even copies of the license. Some of the process was digital including contracts and project updates which gave me real-time progress of what was happening. Despite being digitally connected, Dior was also very responsive and made sure to return my phone calls promptly. I knew I made the right decision in hiring them when the project manager called the night before to introduce himself and ask me if I had any questions or concerns. Its small details like this that make you feel like you are in good hands. The crew showed up on time and got right to work. They were all safety conscious and made sure the property was clear of obstructions and were tethered when on the roof. The new roof went on quickly and efficiently. They even took care with replacing our weathervane. For a project like this that involves thousands of nails, and even with using giant tarps to contain debris, the project manager patrolled the entire property for any errant nails that might have been missed. No one left the worksite until everything was clean and replaced and I was satisfied with the job. In a time where the building trades do not get the respect they deserve, Dior Construction breaks the stereotypes that contractors are rude, lazy, or money hungry. He runs a company that is based on hard work, trust, and openness which is apparent when dealing with them. They take pride in the work they do and put the customer first.... [more]

We are very happy with our new roof, gutters plus the skylights. Dior and his crew were very courteous and professional. My mom reached out to 4 contractors who either gave us an outrageous quote and others that showed up late. My parents gave me a job to find a roofing contractor, the 2nd thing that shows up in Google is Dior Construction, plus he had so many great reviews. Dior responded to my call very quickly and came out within days to meet me and my mother. The day Dior came to look at the house, he started to explain all the procedures that his crew was going to work on. Since this is our first time buying a house. The previous owner didn't replace the roof and the bathroom upstairs was leaking, whenever it would rain badly. There would be water all over my floor every time it would rain. It made me and my family worried every time it rained. Some days it will rain, but there will be no leaking. Due to the leaking on the bathroom upstair, Dior pushed up a month early than the due date. On the day of the job, they came around 6:50 am. The only thing that I had to do was take out the cars so the dumpster could be placed inside the garage. The crew were very friendly and well organized. Not only did they replace and fix the roof at 2 pm, like two hours later, the gutters were also repaired. After the roof was done, the entire crew made sure there was no garbage outside or inside. My family and I are extremely satisfied with the work Dior Construction has done for us. -Haledon, NJ... [more]

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

As a new homeowner I am often skeptical when it comes to hiring a company to do any type of work on my house. I have heard of horror stories from other homeowners, and I have also experienced my own share of issues where the contractors did not perform the work according to plan or properly. Based on this I am inclined to research a company in full detail (i.e. online reviews, pictures of previous work, referrals, etc.) before committing to hire them for the job needed. When it comes to needing your roof replaced you’re faced with a big job and it can either go right or wrong. A contractor can persuade you to believe they will do the best job for the best price, but persuasion can lead you to issues down the road. A great contractor does not have to persuade you, they just have to give you the facts - that is exactly what Dior Construction did when the owner, Dior, came to my house for an initial consultation. Dior is highly experienced and educated in his field. He is a GAF Master Elite roofer which means he is one of the top roofers in the industry, and upon your initial consultation he will be able to educate you on the way roofing systems work and what his team will be able to do to fix and improve your current scenario - no persuasion, just facts. Before meeting with Dior I did my normal investigation (reviews, background, training, etc.) I was impressed by his certifications and Dior Construction seemed to be a front-runner despite being the only company I fully looked into at that point. I normally would have gathered at least 5 contractors to see who is the best of the best, but something stopped me dead in my tracks. I went over to the Dior Construction Facebook page and noticed there were a bunch of videos and pictures of their work, so of course I checked them out. I was impressed by the drone images showing before and after photos, and as I was reviewing the photos something caught my eye; it wasn’t the beautiful houses or the colors of the roofing it was the workers. I noticed they weren’t just up on the roof, but they were tethered. They were actually secured to the roof with a new tethering system for their own safety, and as Dior said himself, “What is most important is that my crew is safe and at the end of the day they get to go home”. I’ve seen many “roofers” up high running around with no type of security and it seemed common, but to find someone that cares this much about their workers was something you don’t see often. At that point I knew that if Dior cared this much about his workers and their safety, then he definitely cares about the quality of work that is performed, and he has pride in his business. This sealed the deal, along with an extensive almost 2-hour education session about the roofing system. The work was scheduled and we were actually able to start the job ahead of schedule. The entire process was so smooth and seamless that I would honestly do it all over again. The crew arrived promptly just before 7AM, we had a dumpster delivered shortly after and the work began immediately. Dior was on site the morning of the install, along with his project manager, Hudson, and they made sure everything was running on schedule and to plan. We had a surprising issue pop up while the work was being performed, one of the crew members found a bird nest with live nestlings near the chimney - no parent in sight. Dior immediately had the crew member safely bring down the nest and immediately called the proper officials, it is safe to say the nestlings are now at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Most other contractors could probably care less, but not Dior he was set on making sure the nestlings were safe and as an animal advocate I couldn’t have been happier. It was amazing so see how effortless the crew made the removal seem despite it being a very large task. The house was immediately draped with tarps to catch the debris, and cleanup was continuous as the roof was quickly and efficiently removed. In a matter of about 2 hours the roof was completely cleared and the crew started applying all of the necessary materials before adding the shingles. The entire roof was complete the same day, and it looked fantastic. We also had new shutters put on the house which definitely made the new roof pop, a great compliment to one another. The following day Dior’s crew came by to install our seamless gutters with leaf guards, and again they were quick and made the entire job seem effortless. We have received a bunch of compliments from our neighbors, and not just about the look of our house. Our neighbors were complimenting the crew saying how efficient they worked, how clean they kept the area, and how smoothly everything seemed to go. I’ve already been asked by several neighbors for Dior Construction’s contact info in the event they need work done on their roof, gutters, or siding. Being completely happy with a contractor is a rarity, especially with all of the fly-by-night contractors that promise great work but fail to complete the task, but with Dior Construction I am beyond satisfied. I wish they did more than just roofs, gutters, and siding so that I could hire them for all of my home needs. I’m looking forward to the time when I need new siding just so I can have this quality contractor come back to do work on my house. If you’re in the market for repairs or upgrades don’t hesitate to call Dior Construction. Once you have an experience like mine you’ll never want to use another contractor and your standards for quality and services with be much higher. Thank you to Dior and crew for giving us this great experience and for the quality workmanship that is now keeping our house safe and dry.... [more]

Thanks to Dior Constuction, our house has a beautiful new roof and new gutters. The crew was very professional and my yard looked cleaner then it did before they came. The 50-year warranty is great.... [more]

Dior and his crew did an AMAZING job on our shore house's roof! Dior (the owner) was very caring about our needs and what we wanted. Everyone was detail-oriented and clean. I'd recommend this business to anyone.... [more]

Danielle Alexander, Long Branch, NJ

First, let me start off by saying how professional, thorough and reasonably priced Dior was! We had an incredibly old 3x over wood shingled roof. Original to the house and last updated in 1985!!! We needed help. Luckily, we hadn't experienced any major leaks but it was about time our roof was replaced. I reached out to 3 other contractors who either never showed up for the estimate, gave me an outrageous quote without even seeing the place, or never responded. Dior responded very quickly and came out within days to meet me and look at the house. He walked us through all of the different options and explained why they would work best for us. In addition to being knowledgeable about his business he even knew what to expect from our roof. He asked to look in the attic to confirm the type of roofing that we had to make sure he gave us an accurate quote. This was in December! He promised the roof would be done before Christmas and made sure all the details were worked out. We had our roof torn down and replaced in one day. I came home from work and the job was done. Clean up - done! The experience was great and painless. Thank you Dior!... [more]

We hired Dior Construction to replace our old leaking roof, skylight and gutters. I was suprised with how fast Dior, the owner, responded to my email, set up an evaluation/meeting and establishing a start date (1 week). In fact, the job was pushed up earlier by 2 days. During our meeting, he evaluated the roof, checked the air flow in the attic, thoroughly went through the job to be done, the GAF products to be used, the GAF Gold warranty (25 years for workmanship and 50 years for product), financing options, clean up and what I needed to do which was absolutely minimal. He and his foreman were open to answering any questions as they wanted me to be well informed. For my 2700 sq. ft. roof, Dior pledged to complete the roof in 1 day with the gutters to follow the day after. On the day of the job, they started at 7am on the dot as promised. His crew worked so efficiently despite having to add on extra plywood. 5-6 were on the roof while 1-2 were constantly cleaning up. I watched them work as they applied the products and completed every step as discussed. The plywood was an added expense but Dior and I wanted the job to be done correctly (heck this is my home). After the roof was done the entire crew made sure there was no garbage and more importantly, nails left over. They were out of the property before 5pm. The next business day, a crew of 2 installed my seamless gutters and Leaftech covers. They too did a wonderful job. My wife and I never really appreciated the importance and beauty of the roof. We were extremely satisfied with the work Dior Construction has done for us. Unlike many contractors, Dior runs his operation with honor, integrity and focuses on customer satisfaction. He was always making sure that I was happy with everything. I am. Now I'm just waiting for the rain and snow to come...... [more]

Master Elite Contractor - ABSOLUTELY!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and how well the job was handled. I also liked the fact that safety was a big concern, and I noticed how each crew member had set tasks and responsibilities. Dior is very knowledgeable and experience, but is also progressive and seems to explore new tools, software, and technology as they too progress.... [more]

John Martin from Facebook Review

Our roof was done correctly, with a great cleanup and on time.

h. g. - fort lee, NJ from GAF Review

After a surprise roof leak, I got right into googling reputable roofers in the area. I came across many names but Diors reviews were better than any of the others. Gave him a call, he was at the house in two days, took a thorough look inside and outside and gave us all the information (he really knows his stuff), he then gave us an estimate that was so competitive that I didn't even bother talking to anyone else, two days after that, my roof was done and it looks incredible! The guys finished the job in a day, and cleaned up so it looked like they were never even there. These guys know what they're doing and I highly recommend them. Thanks Dior!... [more]
