Frequently Asked Questions

Roof Washing

Q: What are those black stains on my roof?
A: Those streaks are from a black algae called gleocapsamagma. This is a form of algae and the streaking is the result of rainfall making it streak down the roof. This algae is feeding from the limestone and other minerals that make up your shingle and reflect the sunlight, resulting in a lack of cooling efficiency and causing your electricity bills to increase.

Q: Will your solution hurt my plants or animals?
A: NO, our solution is eco-friendly. special care is taken to ensure that your plants and animals are not harmed. We make sure your plants are hydrated before we start, and continue rinsing during the cleaning. After the roof washing solution is applied, we will give the plants one more rinse. We also bag the gutters, to ensure that any run-off from the gutter will be captured.
We love our furry friends, and we do our part to keep a happy and healthy eco system!

A: Absolutely not! we NEVER USE PRESSURE on roofing shingles. wen use a pump that has the same pressure as your exterior faucet.
