If your roof is covered with black stains and streaks, you should know that isn't a sign that your roof is worn out or that it needs to be replaced. The stains are coming from a form of algae called "Gloeocapsa Magma" that is growing on your shingles and can be safely removed using low pressure roof cleaning techniques. These stains have caused many home owners across the country to spend thousands of dollars having their roof replaced when they could have restored it to a "like new" finish for only a few hundred. So before you contact a roofing contractor for an estimate, you should call us for a free evaluation to determine if the roof you already have can be saved. As for how cleaning shingles is done, we use a process where practically no water pressure is applied in conjunction with professional strength roof cleaners that are specifically designed to eliminate the algae without harming the shingles. These cleaners and the techniques we use will remove the black streaks and stains along with any dirt and mildew that has accumulated on the shingles, leaving you with a beautiful roof and a whole lot more money in your pocket. This low pressure (Soft Roof Wash) cleaning process also protects your home from the damage that high pressure washers can cause. So there is much less risk involved than with traditional power washing and way less cost than roof replacement. Exposing your home to less risk of damage while increasing the value and saving money in the process are just a few of the many advantages of hiring Mr Powerwash to clean your roof. Below is a map of the United States showing the heavy areas of algae growth (GREEN) as compared to the Midwest where it is only moderate (BROWN) Shingle Manufacturers Recommend Roof Cleaning by Professionals The larger roof manufacturers and associations such as ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer's Association), GAF, and Owens Corning recommend ONLY Low-Pressure cleaning methods which include Low Pressure application of cleaners approved by them and a Low Pressure rinse. When your roof is infested with algae and it is still in good shape, we can safely remove it and help you get more life out of your roof and the most important part is save your money by not having to replacing the roof. |
