Pressure washing a roof edge and gutter on a home

Why roofs streak, and why pressure is the wrong fix

The black streaks running down many Michigan roofs are a type of algae. Left alone, it holds moisture against the shingles, and moss and lichen follow. That shortens the life of the roof and makes the whole house look older than it is.

High pressure knocks the protective granules off asphalt shingles, so we never use it on a roof. We apply a cleaning solution that kills the growth, then let it work and rinse gently. Streaks disappear and the shingles keep their granules.
