Why Should You Have Your Roof Cleaned?

Have you ever noticed dark streaks on your shingle roof? Those black streaks aren’t dirt! They are actually a living organism called Gloeocapsa Magma. This type of algae actually feeds on your shingle roof and can cause a considerable number of issues other than just being an eyesore to look at. 

So how do we SAFELY get rid of these unwanted guests? Our roof cleaning service uses a process called soft washing. Soft washing is a gentle method of cleaning that uses our proprietary cleaning solutions (instead of high pressure) to safely remove organic growth from the roof. This process actually kills the organic growth on your roof which fixes the problem at the source! 

So if you have these black streaks on your roof, why should you have your roof professionally soft washed? 

1.Preserves the life of your roof

  • Those dark algae streaks are not only an eyesore, but they are actually eating your roof away. The Gloeocapsa Magma algae feeds on the limestone that is present in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, this can cause premature wear on your roof resulting in expensive replacement costs well before its due date.

2.Saves you money 

  • Roof Cleaning not only helps restore the life of your roof but can also reduce cooling costs in your home as well. When your roof is darkened with these algae stains, it allows more sunlight and heat to be absorbed which then forces your cooling system in your house to have to work harder. Having a clean roof ensures that the minimum amount of heat is absorbed by your roof during the hot, summer months that are so common here in the south.

3.Restores Your Home’s Curb Appeal

  • Having a clean roof free from algae streaks and stains will keep your house looking its best. Although this is the most common reason why most people request a roof cleaning, did you know that having a clean roof can dramatically increase your home’s value? A report by the National Association of Realtors found that having the exterior of your property cleaned (such as roof cleaning) can add $10,000-$15,000 worth of value to your home’s property!
