Takes about a minute. No obligation.
Exterior
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.
How we do it
01
We look for loose or damaged shingles and note the roof pitch and material.
02
Plants and landscaping below are pre-wet and protected.
03
A roof-safe solution goes on to kill algae, moss and lichen.
04
Gentle rinse of the roof and gutter area. Thick lichen keeps fading over the next few weeks.
Good to know
Roof size, pitch, height and how much moss or lichen there is.
We never pressure wash shingles. It voids warranties and strips granules.
Every three to five years for most roofs.
