Frequently Asked Questions

Free "Does My Roof Need Cleaning?" Quiz FAQs

What causes the black streaks on my roof?

Those streaks are usually Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles — it's cosmetic at first but can shorten shingle life if left untreated.

Is pressure washing safe for my roof?

No — we use a low-pressure soft-wash process instead. High-pressure washing can strip protective granules off asphalt shingles and void your shingle warranty.

Does shade make roof algae worse?

Yes — heavily shaded roofs stay damp longer, which is exactly the environment algae and moss need to establish and spread.

How often should roofs be cleaned in Northern Virginia?

It depends on tree cover and shade — heavily shaded, tree-covered roofs may need cleaning every 1-2 years, while sunnier roofs can often go longer between cleanings.
