Roof Cleaning & Soft Wash

Those dark streaks on your roof are not just dirt. They are a type of algae that feeds on your shingles. Left alone, it spreads and can shorten the life of your roof. Moss is even worse, because it holds water against the shingles.

We clean roofs with a soft wash, the same safe method roofing makers recommend. We do not use high pressure, which can tear up shingles and void your warranty. Instead, a gentle cleaner kills the algae and moss, and the rain rinses it clean over the next few weeks.

What causes black streaks on a roof

The black streaks are a growth called Gloeocapsa magma, a kind of algae. It loves the damp, shaded roofs we see around the lakes here. Our soft wash treatment kills it at the root so it does not come right back. A clean roof also reflects more sun, which can help keep your attic cooler.
