We offer roofing contractor and manufacturer approved, non pressure roof cleaning, for the entire Central Virginia area. Our services include.... non pressure chemical roof cleaning of both asphalt and fiberglass roofing shingles.

The black streaks and stains you see on your shingle roof isn't actually dirt at all. Your shingle roof is discolored, streaked, and in need of non- pressure roof cleaning, because Algae is growing on it. Algae is a plant that enjoys the humid climate here in the Central Virginia area. The algae feeds on the limestone that is manufactured into your roof shingles.

Limestone is added to the roof shingle mixture as a filler or thickener. An organic felt mat was used years ago as the base for the shingles. This roofing mat was saturated with asphalt, and then coated with ceramic granules. Because of the absorptive qualities of the mat, it was able to soak up enough asphalt to give the finished roofing shingle sufficient weight. The materials used for the mat were derived from the cotton rag scrap market. A couple decades ago this rag market dried up because of the widespread introduction of cheaper synthetic textiles from China and India, such as nylon and polyester. The roofing manufacturers decided to use fiberglass as a roof shingle mat.

The new fiberglass roofing mat didn't absorb asphalt like the old organic mat did. Something had to be added to the asphalt to increase the weight of the roof shingle, or it could be damaged during strong winds. So, the manufacturers decided to use limestone, which is plentiful and cheap. Because the algae on your roofeats the filler,thenewer, "limestone enhanced" shingles, getstained even faster! Therefore, they require more frequent roof cleaning than the asphalt shingles of the past.

The worlds largest roof shingle manufacturers, feel that this algae can cause premature granule loss, and considerably shorten the life of your roof! As the algae spreads on your roof the reflective properties that your roof once had is diminished which causes your air conditioner to work harder to overcome the increased heat load, costing you not only increased physical discomfort but monetary discomfort through higher cooling costs.

This roof algae spreads itself by unseen, microscopic airborne spores, just like tree and plant pollen in Spring. Your algae infestation will easily spread to your neighbors home if roof cleaning is not performed. As you can now see, dirty roof shingles are not just an eyesore, or something else for your neighbors to complain about. The algae growth can and will compromise the efforts of your fellow homeowners to keep their own roofs clean!

Whether you are getting your home ready to put on the market, had some shingles replaced, or just tired of the dark stains causing your home to look bad, please remember one thing... Just because someone says their method will get your roof clean, doesn't automatically mean it is SAFE! Some methods of roof cleaning can actually VOID your shingle warranty.

Our roof cleaning method-- NON-PRESSURE, CHEMICAL CLEANING-- is the safest for your asphalt and fiberglass shingle roof, and the longest lasting. Our method is the ONLY method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. Unlike dangerous pressure washing, which causes damage to the shingle by removing granules, our roof cleaning system actually kills, and safely removes the Algae, Mold, and or Mildew discoloring your asphalt and fiberglass shingle roof.
