Do I need to clean my roof?
Yes. The following are reasons why you should clean your roof:
- Improve curb appeal.
- Resale value.
- Prolong the life of your roof for 5 to 10 years.
- Improve the power bill (dark stains on the roof trap and hold heat, which raises the building temperature, and therefore raises cooling costs).
- Roof cleaning is a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire roof.
- Some insurance and HOA may require you to clean your roof.
- Realtors! Help sell that house quicker without replacing the roof.
- “Don’t replace your roof! Most homeowners think that is the only option. Wrong.”
What’s On My Roof
The black streaking on your roof is a type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. This intrusive algae feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles and grows and darkens until treated. It is spread by wind and animals from roof to roof and almost impossible to prevent. Without treatment these algae will take years off the life of your roof, along with reducing property value and curb appeal.
Our services will remove these costly stains and keep them away for 3 years or longer. However, depending on environmental conditions, northern exposure, algae spores from neighboring houses and/or animals, they may come back sooner.
