A small town in St, Tammany Parish Louisiana, Madisonville is a great little place to live. Madisonville is located on the banks of the Tchefuncte River near where the river enters Lake Pontchartrain.
Founded way back in 1800 by Jean Baptiste Baham even before the United States acquired this area. The town was renamed in honor of President James Madison circa in 1811. In the years prior to the civil war, Madisonville was an important port. Madisonville provided bricks and other products from the towns that lined the Tchefuncte River to New Orleans.

Absolutely, Magnolia Roofing has a five-year workmanship warranty on every new roof we install, and we give a one-year warranty on all roof repairs.
What are the roof repairs you do the most?
There are a small handful of roof repairs that we see over and over. Roof plumbing pipe boots are certainly one of the biggest problems when it comes to roofing. Most roofing companies use cheap 3 in 1 pipe boots and in many cases these only last 4-9 years.
Leaky skylights are another common roof leak issue and we have to repair and replace many skylights.
Another very common leak spot on a roof is the valley. This is where two slopes meet. In many cases when a roof is installed the roofing company just does not build the valley correctly setting the roof and homeowner up for failure.
Why are there dark streaks and stains on my roof and is there anything I can do about it?
That is a type of algae and it lives off certain minerals in some types of roof shingles. In high moisture areas like our deep south algae thrives so it is seen more on shaded areas of roofs as well as the north facing slope of your house.
The algae is not damaging your roof it just does not look very good. If you are very careful you can in some cases do what is called a soft wash and do some good removing the algae from the shingles.
You need to be very careful and I would really suggest having a pro do this. You can use a spray pump with one-part bleach to two parts water and spray your roof down very good. If you do it yourself use a ladder, do not try doing this while on your roof, it is too dangerous for the average homeowner. You can also use a very soft brush on the heavy algae areas.
When you are done make sure to wash everything well with clean water as bleach will damage foundation plantings.
