So what are the 5 reasons to wash your Roof?

power washing, roof moss- Westchester Power WashingMost people wash their roofs when they see black marks, mold, mildew, lichens, moss, dirt, leaves or tree debris on their roof. This is true for getting their house or siding pressure washed. We get call when people see their homes are dirty or have mold or mildew on the brick or siding. In addition, people search for a pressure washing company when they are about to have a special event at their home. All of these are great reason to pressure wash your home and to clean your roof. Although there are additional reasons why you should have your roof washed.

  1. Insurance companies can cancel your homeowners policy if your roof has black streaks or marks, lichens, mold or mildew. It is up to the homeowner to keep their roof clean. Homeowner insurance policies have a clause that says if you neglect your home (and roof) your policy can be cancelled. Therefore, having your roof washed is critical to keep your insurance company from cancelling your homeowners policy.

  2. Roof replacement costs up to ten times more than roof cleaning. If your insurance company thinks your roof is in need of a roof replacement because of it’s dirty appearance, you could end up paying tens of thousands for roof replacement. This is especially costly because most roofs are just dirty and the black streaks, mold, mildew , lichens and tree debris can be cleaned and removed with soft roof washing. So if you allow your roof to stay dirty, you may be forced into buying a new roof instead of simply having your roof washed for thousands less.

  3. The longer you wait to clean your roof the more damage is being done to it. The black marks or streaks on your roof as well as the lichens, mold and mildew are signs of bacteria and fungus.  These bacteria or algae eat at your roof destroying your roof shingles. Your roof shingles are what keep your home dry from the rain and snow. In addition, the roof shingles insulate your home throughout the year. When the roof shingles are damaged they no longer protect your home. Therefore, you will see higher electrical bills, possibly water damage on your ceiling and your roof needing to be replaced much sooner. Washing your roof preserves your roof’s life expectancy. Most roofs last 25 years when cleaned at least every 5 years. Dirty roofs eventually need to be replaced because of the long term damage which is preventable.

  4. A clean roof makes your house more valuable and have better curb appeal. Yes, a clean roof makes your home more valuable as your roof’s life expectancy preserved. In addition, a clean roof is a sign of a home well maintained. If you are selling your home, buyers are worried about the condition of your home and roof. A house that has been pressure washed and had the roof cleaned will almost always sell faster and for more money than a similar house that looks dirty and neglected. Therefore, having your roof soft washed and your home pressure cleaned  can increase your sales price substantially higher than the cost of having your roof and home cleaned.

  5. Personal enjoyment. A clean roof and house feels good to come home to after work or a long day. Just like driving a dirty car or entering a disorganized room is uncomfortable, a dirty home exterior ( and interior) is unattractive and feels dirty. The same way it feels good to have your car washed and waxed, it feels even better to have your roof cleaned and house pressure washed. When you have your home exterior pressure washed including your patio, deck, fence and outdoor furniture, you are more proud to invite company. And more importantly, you feel good to know your home is being invested in and your home is your personal castle and every day feels like a vacation.

A roof shampoo is a type of roof cleaning process. In addition, roof shampoo is also a trademarked brand for a roof cleaning franchise.

Westchester Power Washing, a licensed and insured roof cleaning business since 1990 – are expert roof cleaners who only soft wash roofs. Soft washing roofs is used to effectively clean black marks, dirt, lichens, moss, mold and mildew from roof tiles.

pressure cleaning, pressure washing, roof washing, black streaks, black marks, pressure washing, power washing, Chappaqua, house washing and roof cleaning, moss, mold, mildew, black streaks, soft roof wash, shampoo, power washing, roof shampoo, roof algae- westchester power washingAs roof shampoo is a popular terminology, the roof cleaning itself is not as effective as soft washing. In addition, if your roof is not soft washed, there is a good possibility you will damage your roof. Many roof cleaning companies try different roof cleaning techniques to stand out but these are usually causing roof damage. A roof cleaning company priority should be to clean your roof while protecting your roof. Although this makes good sense, some roof cleaning companies also own roof replacement businesses. So, they are in the business of replacing roofs not washing roofs.

The roof replacement is much more expensive than roof cleaning. We do not know as a fact but have heard many stories over the last 28 years. One of them, is that some roof replacement companies are selling roof replacement instead of roof cleaning so they make more profits. In addition, some have been rumored to use heavy equipment of the roof which rips the asphalt. Once the asphalt roof is torn, the rain damage eventually begins to happen inside the house.

What causes dark marks or black streaks on my roof?

Those dark marks or black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma. Depending on the age and condition of your roof, soft washing your roof is the best and most cost-effective solution. Roof replacement in comparison, which is not necessary most of the times, could cost up to 10 times more than roof cleaning.


The black streaks are not preventable as they are caused by humidity and is very common in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County, NY.. The marks are cause because of the algae 

which survives through photosynthesis where the algae feeds on the limestone filler used in asphalt shingles.

Yes shingle makers have been treating roofs with copper or zinc to inhibit algae growth but these stop being effective over time. This leads to the algae eventually continue to eat the limestone in the shingles combined with the New York humidity and the dark marks or black streaks appear.

Most black streaks form on the northern side of roofs. This is because this where it’s darker and wetter which is perfect for algae to grow. Compared to Florida where it is even more humid, homeowners in Westchester County fare only slightly better.

Of course, in Arizona where it is more dry, there is less humidity so less algae growth.When the algae decays, the algae turn black. Therefore you see the black streaks on your roof.

 

Are the black streaks harmful to my roof?

pressure cleaning, pressure washing, roof washing, black streaks, black marks, pressure washing, power washing, Chappaqua, house washing and roof cleaning, moss, mold, mildew, black streaks, soft roof wash, shampoo, power washing, roof shampoo, roof algae- westchester power washingYes, the black streaks are harmful to your roof. This is because the black marks greatest threat to your roof is moisture retention or root damage that algae and other fungus and bacteria can cause. These two combine together to form lichen, the roots of which can wrap around and feed on the granules covering the shingles. Unlike black streaks, lichen is not easily removed.

Even when lichen dries, it comes right back after intense humidity, snow or rain, Scrubbing or power washing lichen will only cause more damage to your roof.

What is the best way to clean my roof to get rid of black marks and lichens?

 

Furthermore, the best way to clean your roof is soft roof washing. Soft roof washing is better than roof shampoo. Also, soft washing uses a eco-friendly cleaning solution to bath your roof and destroy moss, mildew , lichen and fungus. This is gentle applied to your roof. As a result, when your roof is washed down, the algae lifts off and washes off your roof.
