Siding and roof stain removal
Do you have black streaks or patches of black stain on your roof?
We can help.
First off what is it? What you are seeing is a form of algae that starts out as light discoloration and gradually spreads down the roof to the gutters.
Roof Algae, Sometimes called Roof Mildew or Roof Mold, actually feeds on the crushed limestone found in shingles. Algae can be spread by wind or by animals such as squirrels that run across your roof. If your roof is shaded during most of the day, algae growth is often accelerated. Over time the algae growth can actually damage your shingles or shorten their lifespan. Besides that , it just looks ugly.
Solutions:
You can try to clean it yourself by applying hardware store type products or you can hire a professional roof cleaning service like us to do the job right.
For you to try and clean it yourself, you will be on a wet roof dragging a water hose around. It can be very dangerous and after a half days work you probably won't get the results you were after.
We have the equipment and professional grade cleaners to do the job right. Our spray equipment is powerful enough that in most cases we don't even have to get on your roof. We can spray it all from the ground. This avoids the wear and tear of someone walking around on your shingles.
We use only the best cleaners available and we apply those cleaners in such a way as to cause no damage to your roof. We have seen some people use a high pressure spray to clean a roof. That is a really bad idea as it will definitely cause shingle damage. Our system applies the cleaner very gently and is guaranteed not to damage your roof.
