Roof Cleaning

What are the black streaks on my roof and why call for Coastal Sunrooms' Roof Cleaning?

Black stains/streaks on roof shingles are a blemish on your house. They are caused by algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. Rain causes the algae to grow down the roof; the black stains and streaks follow. These are not only unattractive but they cause the shingles to fail prematurely by not allowing the roof to reflect heat properly.

No need to replace your roof! Many people, actually, make this mistake. Just as mold or mildew can grow on your vinyl siding, wind blown algae can land and grow on your roof. Replacing the roof because of algae would be like replacing your vinyl siding due to algae; instead of just having it cleaned.

Roof Cleaning is recommended by shingle manufacturers. Roofing companies like Owens Corning and GAF, and the Asphalt Roofing Association, recommend a low pressure, chemical roof cleaning application using specific cleaners to restore shingles that are suffering from roof algae, followed by a low pressure rinse. Coastal Sunrooms' Roof Cleaning system utilizes this type of roof cleaning technique with our state of the art, custom, low pressure roof cleaning apparatus, chemical solution tanks, and our adjustable, low pressure pump system. If your shingles are in good shape but have algae on them; having us clean your roof, the professional way, with our low pressure washing system will allow you to get the full life of your shingles while saving you thousands of dollars.

Never allow any contractor to use a high pressure washer on your shingled roof. Doing so will blow granules off the shingles and decrease the life of your roof.
