What kind of roof? Is it wood? How old is it? What about any flashing,
what condition is it in?

The black streaks, are likely moss and that is a different problem, but
can cause the roof to go bad.

Curling corners and visible loss of color granules exposing the black
base layer on fiberglas/asphalt shingles. Splitting in wood shingles.

The black streaks can/should be cleaned off.

It's usually best to head these types of problems off at the
pass...meaning, if you think it's time for a new roof, it probably is.

When you have to sweep bits of shingle off the driveway every few days,
it's time.
