What are those
black streaks?
The black streaks you see on asphalt shingle roofs are usually caused by a type of airborne algae called Gloeocapsa magma.
A few important things about it:
-
It is not usually mold!
-
It feeds on the limestone filler in many shingles.
-
It commonly starts on the north/shaded side of roofs where moisture stays longer.
-
The dark color holds heat, which can slightly reduce efficiency and shorten your shingle life over time.

Sidewalks & Driveways
It's just water you say...? I can do that!
Our speciality surface cleaners utilize rotating nozzles for a superior even process that doesn't leave any lines, keeps the pressure from damaging the concrete, and saves you from donating your entire Saturday to your home project!
Better yet…we post treat the concrete with a chemical soap blend that kills the organic matter in the pores of the concrete making it pop like new and preventing the growth from coming right back in a month. Our results show for a while!

F.A.Q.
Q. What is soft washing? I keep hearing that and you're a pressure washing company.
Great question. In short, not everything ironically needs pressure to be cleaned. In fact, too much pressure will damage almost anything. And we know that. Brick needs pressure…but too much up close will knock out the mortar on an old joint. Siding gets really green sometimes and covered in algae, but it needs a special mix of bleach and soap sprayed on with a fancy commercial machine - not blasted w pressure. That would leave marks all over your house. With soft-washing - we balance pressure with the right chemical ingredients to achieve a clean surface without damage. This applies largely to vinyl siding that is much softer than say concrete.

Q. Why would I want to wash my roof?
There is a unique air borne bacteria that lodges in the pores of your shingles and feasts on the limestone. This dark streaking not only is unsightly; but slowly damages the integrity of your shingles shortening the lifespan of your roof. Then the roofers come out and really take your money!!! Let us put a stop to that. Our process is safe, and produces results. Check out our before and after page for examples.
