Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for professional roof cleaning?

The process involves a specialized soft washing technique designed specifically for roofing materials. Our team applies a cleaning solution that neutralizes algae, moss, and lichen without using high-pressure water. This method allows the cleaning agents to do the work, ensuring the integrity of your shingles remains intact while the organic growth is completely removed.

Are the black streaks on a roof permanent?

The black streaks are typically caused by a hardy type of algae that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. While they look permanent, they can be successfully removed with professional cleaning. Removing these streaks not only restores the appearance of your home but also prevents the algae from further damaging your roofing system.

Is pressure washing safe for shingle roofs?

Pressure washing is generally not recommended for shingle roofs because the high force can strip away the protective granules. Our team uses low-pressure soft washing instead, which is the method preferred by most roofing manufacturers. This ensures a deep, effective clean that protects your shingles from damage and preserves the life of your roof.

How long does a roof cleaning service take?

A standard roof cleaning service typically takes between two and five hours depending on the size of the home and the severity of the growth. We work efficiently to minimize any disruption to your day. You will notice an immediate improvement in your home's appearance, and the cleaning solutions continue working over the following weeks.

Does cleaning a roof help with energy costs?

A clean roof can actually help lower your cooling costs during the hot Pennsylvania summer. Dark algae and moss trap heat and prevent your roof from reflecting sunlight as it should. By removing these dark spots, your roof can function properly, helping your home stay cooler and reducing the strain on your air conditioning system.
