Those black streaks on a Canton roof are algae, not dirt. We soft wash it off at the root, no pressure on the shingles, and back it with a 3-year regrowth warranty. Free quote.
Canton sits in the humid, tree-shaded part of Cherokee County, and the dark streaks that show up on the north side of a roof in BridgeMill, Harmony on the Lakes or Great Sky are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles. It is not dirt and it does not rinse off. Left alone it holds moisture, shortens shingle life, and is the first thing an HOA letter or a home inspector mentions.
We never put a pressure washer on a roof. Pressure strips the granules that protect the shingle and voids most manufacturer warranties. Our ARMA-approved soft wash applies a cleaning solution at low pressure, lets it kill the algae at the root, and rinses gently. The roof is clean when we leave and keeps getting cleaner as the dead growth weathers off over the following weeks.
Every roof clean includes protection of your plants and landscaping before we start, the soft wash treatment of the full roof, a rinse of the gutters and the siding below the roofline so no runoff dries on the house, and a walkaround with you at the end. Gutter cleaning, house soft washing and window cleaning can be added on the same visit, which is how most Canton homeowners book it.
Our roof soft wash is covered by a 3-year warranty against algae and moss regrowth on every Canton residential roof we treat. If the streaks come back inside 36 months, we come back and re-treat at no charge. That is the difference between killing the algae and rinsing it off.
It is quoted per home from the roof size, pitch, number of stories and how heavy the growth is. Most Canton roofs are priced the same day from your address and a couple of photos. Free quote.
Yes. Soft washing is the method the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends. It is low pressure and relies on the cleaning solution, not force, so the protective granules stay on the shingle.
Not inside three years, or we re-treat free. Soft washing kills the algae rather than rinsing the surface, which is why it holds.
Yes. Metal, tile and architectural shingle roofs are all cleaned with a method matched to the material.
No. We wet down and cover the landscaping before we start, rinse as we go, and rinse again at the end. Protecting your plants is part of every roof clean.
Most Canton roofs take two to four hours. Larger BridgeMill and Great Sky homes with steep pitches may take longer. You do not need to be home.
Yes. We clean to the standard those communities expect and can batch neighbors on one visit, which lowers the price for everyone.
Yes. Gutter cleaning, house soft washing and window cleaning are the usual add-ons, and bundling them on one trip is the best value.
