No Pressure Roof Cleaning Services

Does your house have the ugly roof stains on it or even worse, Lichen and Moss growth on it? Don’t replace that roof just yet! It CAN be cleaned! Using our no-pressure cleaning application, a pressure washer never touches the roof. Our roof cleaning services and cleaners are recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. All our roof cleaning comes with a 2 year unconditional guarantee. We use our unique non-pressure system to apply the cleaners so there is never any damage to your roof.

The stains are actually an algae or fungus called “Gloeocapsa Magma”. The fungus is feeding (Yes Eating) the limestone filler that’s in the shingle, shortening the life span of your roof, and can also affect “Heat Transfer” of the roof, causing larger electricity bills in the summer by making you’re A/C unit run longer.

Does Your Roof Really Need to Be Replaced?

If you are one of many homeowners who are thinking about replacing your roof, or know of someone who is, make sure the roof needs to be replaced.

50% Of Roofs Are Replaced Due To The Way They Look

This is not because of their functionality. Just as mold and mildew can grow on your home, Algae is in the air and will land and grow on your roof. Replacing your roof because of the algae is like replacing your siding instead of having it cleaned; it just doesn’t make sense.

Some roofing contractors don’t know what these black streaks are, saying it’s the asphalt showing through the shingles or that it’s water stains. Some contractors may know it’s algae but tell you it can’t be cleaned without damaging the shingles. In either case, they may tell you that the roof needs replaced. This is not true if your shingles are still in good shape. The algae can be killed and removed properly without damaging the shingles using roof cleaning services like a low pressure chemical application (recommended by shingle manufacturers).

Signs Of Aged Shingles Needing Replaced

We do not recommend cleaning shingles that are in need of being replaced. If you’re not sure if your roof needs replaced or cleaned, here are some signs of an aged roof:

brittle or crumbling shingles
excessive amount of shingle granules in your gutters
bottom corners of shingles curled up
wavy, warped, or heaved shingles
very thin or loose shingles

If you are still unsure about the status of your roof, we will be glad to evaluate it for you. We will not clean shingles that need replaced, because cleaning the roof won’t solve the problem if the shingles are aged. On the other hand, if you call a roofing contractor, you may not get the whole truth and may be persuaded into replacing a roof that only needs cleaned.

Why Should I Use Non-Pressure Washing For My Roof?

Non-pressure or low-pressure washing will not remove the granules from the shingles or destroy them. The soaps that are used kill the mold, mildew and algae and then remove them from the roof. The warranty on your shingles will remain intact as well. This is unlikely with pressure washing.

What Makes the Algae Grow On the Roof?

The algae are from microscopic spores that transfer through the air borne or from birds and other roof climbing animals. Fiberglass shingles are manufactured with limestone fillers that act as a food source for the unwanted algae. Once it takes hold, it spreads over the roof.

Why Not Just Wash It Myself?

You can go to the big box stores and purchase roof washing soap and if you have the equipment, wash your roof. The soap that you purchase is not commercial grade and is diluted so that non-professionals do not harm themselves. You may want to check out this US government article. The cleaners that BayState Power Washing uses have been tested and modified over many years. Also, this is our profession so we have experience with the equipment and ladders. We are fully insured so that you and your home are protected.
