Would you replace your child just because they looked a little dirty? Of course not! So why would you replace the most expensive asset on your home because it looks dirty when it still has years of life left in it!
What Causes Those Black Streaks?
Those eye-catching streaks you see are actually not dirt. Its an algae that thrives on roofs and especially the limestone fillers in shingle roofs. It eats into whatever surface its growing on and the spores blow from roof to roof on windy days. That’s why we treat this algae, known as Gleocapsa magma as a pest and spray every square inch of your roof to insure it stays gone for years to come.
Why Soft Washing is the ONLY way to go
Traditional pressure washing has been used for years to clean roofs and has caused many home owners to have to prematurely replace their roofs. We alleviate the pain of having to get your roof replaced by using our gentle soft wash method. Pressure washing will damage your roof and only remove the algae from the surface, not the root of it. So even if it appears clean after pressure washing, the algae will appear again within 6 months. On the other hand, soft washing will leave a lasting result allowing it to stay clean 4-6 times longer.
