MAINTAINING YOUR ROOF

Regular roof cleaning is essential for extending your roof's lifespan and maintaining its protective qualities. We recommend cleaning every 2-3 years, though some factors may require more frequent service:

  • Heavy tree coverage creating shade
  • North-facing roof sections prone to algae growth
  • High humidity areas promoting bacterial growth
  • Areas with significant rainfall
  • Age of roofing materials

For a comprehensive property transformation, combine window cleaning with our other exterior cleaning services, including pressure washing and gutter cleaning, to maintain a pristine and well-protected home or business.

  • Prevention of accidental damage

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ROOF WASHING

What causes black streaks on my roof?
The black streaks on your roof are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of algae that feeds on limestone filler in shingles. This bacteria spreads across your roof, causing unsightly dark staining and potentially reducing your roof's lifespan by breaking down shingle materials. Regular professional cleaning eliminates this harmful organism.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
No, pressure washing can severely damage your roof by stripping away protective granules and voiding manufacturers' warranties. We use a specialized soft wash process that combines professional-grade cleaning solutions with low pressure to safely eliminate algae, moss, and other organic growth without damaging your shingles.
How often should I have my roof cleaned?
Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 2-3 years. However, factors like heavy tree coverage, north-facing sections prone to algae growth, and high humidity areas may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents permanent damage from Gloeocapsa Magma and other organic growth.
Will your cleaning solutions damage my roof or landscaping?
No, our specialized cleaning solutions are biodegradable and safe for all roofing materials when properly applied. We take precautions to protect your landscaping, including pre-wetting plants and covering sensitive areas. Our solutions specifically target algae and organic growth while preserving your roof's integrity.
How long does roof cleaning take and how long do results last?
A typical roof cleaning takes 2-4 hours depending on size, pitch, and contamination level. Our soft wash treatment continues working after application, with full results visible within a week. Most importantly, our treatments provide long-lasting protection, helping prevent algae regrowth for 2-3 years in most cases.
Will roof cleaning help extend my roof's lifespan?
Yes, professional roof cleaning significantly extends roof life by eliminating harmful Gloeocapsa Magma that feeds on and deteriorates shingles. Regular cleaning also helps maintain proper reflectivity, potentially reducing cooling costs, while ensuring compliance with manufacturer warranty requirements for roof maintenance.
