What are the Black streaks on my Roof?
Excellent question! The black streaks that are typically on the north side is a algae called "Gleocapsa magma". This algae eats away at the limestone in the shingles, causing damage. To fix this we spray a algicide on the roof to treat any organics living on the roof. The next time it rains it washes off any dead organics left over.
Many homeowners are hesitant to have their roof cleaned simply because they are uneducated on the benefits of soft washing. They might have heard bad things about a company attempting to clean roofs with pressure washers or about killing plants. These companies are referred to the 99 dollar guy, and are not reputable professionals. We are a professional business with professional services. Frequently asked questions are “Will it hurt my plants?”, ” What do you use to clean the roof?”, or “Do you guys use a pressure washer?”
Only hire a professional company with a good reputation to clean your roof! When done correctly, soft wash roof cleaning will not damage your landscaping. We know the pride and effort it takes to keep your lawn and vegetation looking great. Our soft wash system will only add value to your home without damaging any plants. We use our proprietary algicidal solution to gently remove any Gleocapsamagma, roof stains, algae, lichens and any other organic organisms living on your roof. Our soft wash system uses low pressure treatment (under 100 psi). This is not high pressure. Pressure washers do not clean–they only knock off the surface level, and they WILL DAMAGE YOUR ROOF!
You can expect to pay anywhere from 30 to 50 cents a square foot depending on a difficulty of the job.
We have a minimum of $399
Almost 80% of home owners replace their roof too early! We can save you thousands. Roofs are made to last 25- 30 years–why would you want to replace it early and waste thousands of dollars?
