Many asphalt shingle roofs are susceptible to a black algae growth, called Gloeocapsa magma. It is an algae that thrives on moisture and seems to have an affinity for material used in some roofing products. When left unchecked, it can eat away at asphalt shingles over time. Not only is the build-up unsightly, but it can be quite detrimental to the shingles. Our soft wash roof cleaning process uses a specialized low pressure machine and a chemical solution to remove the algae, and any other mold or mildew from the roof. This process is recommended by the asphalt shingle manufacturers as the best way to clean the shingles. We also use this same soft wash roof cleaning process to clean painted metal roofs. During the cleaning process, our technicians care for all other items and landscaping around the home, ensuring that everything is sufficiently sprayed down with fresh water and kept safe. We also offer asphalt shingle sealing to extend the life of your shingles and inhibit algae, mold, and mildew growth.
