Roof Stains! YUCK!One of the services we provide is roof cleaning. Though we are a pressure washing company, we do not pressure wash roofs, low pressure roof cleaning is the answer.

What Are The Black Streaks On My Roof? - It's ALGAE, and it's eating the limestone in your asphalt roof like an "All You Can Eat Buffet" !

Unsightly black stains or streaks on asphalt shingles are caused by a hardy type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. The algae feeds on the crushed limestone that is used in asphalt shingles. Rain spreads the algae down the roof causing the black streaks. These streaks are not only unsightly, but cause the shingles to fail prematurely by not allowing the shingles to reflect heat properly.

50% Of Roofs Are Replaced Due To The Way They Look.

Just as mold and mildew can grow on your vinyl siding, wind blown algae can land and grow on your roof. Replacing your roof because of this algae is like replacing your siding instead of having it cleaned; it just doesn't make sense.

Roof Cleaning Is Recommended By Shingle Manufacturers.

Companies like Owens Corning and GAF, and also the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommend a low pressure chemical application using certain cleaners to restore shingles suffering from roof algae, followed by a low pressure rinse. We use the cleaners and methods recommended by these companies, for a safe and damage free roof cleaning. If your shingles are still in good shape but have roof algae on them, having your roof cleansed will allow you to get the full life out of your shingles, saving you thousands of dollars.

THAT IS WHY WE SAY ROOF CLEANING DOESN'T COST, IT PAYS!!!
