What Is Roof Shampoo?

A roof shampoo is a type of roof cleaning process. In addition, roof shampoo is also a trademarked brand for a roof cleaning franchise. The process used to shampoo roofs is not the same as soft roof washing. 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.

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.

Peter Salotto, owner of Westchester Power Washing is a retired police officer. He has personally washed more than 18,000 houses, roofs, patios, decks, outdoor furniture and fencing.

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.

5 Ways To Increase Home Values in Westchester, New York

 

  1. Paint.

     The easiest ways to increase your home’s market appeal, value and enjoyment is to paint. Pain interior rooms, your exterior and paint your doors. Many people can paint their home by themselves. This saves money over hiring a painting company. The best thing to do is buy a highly rated paint. Cheap paint  is not good for wall coverage or appearance. In addition, use paint colors that are neutral. The area where you can take more color risks is the front door. An inviting front door color works well. Many homeowners paint the door red, green or gray. These colors accentuate the front entry while adding curb appeal.

 

  1. Plant.

    When you look at the front, side and back of your house, is it well landscaped? A beautiful landscape attracts buyers and ultimately improves home prices. If you purchase small trees, shrubs and plant they cost less than mature foliage. Unlike most items, over time the trees, bushes and plants grow making them more valuable. When you plant, think of your yard as a paint canvas. Sketch out where each of the flowers or trees will be planted. By doing this, you select which side of your house is in the most need. Plants and trees bring the neighborhood to life. Start small and plant weekly. Over time, your home will be more marketable if you decide to sell or rent.

 

  1. Plumbing.

    One of the areas in the home that is often overlook is the plumbing. Plumbing includes sinks, faucets, hardware and pipes. Changing dated plumbing fixtures, you improve the appearance of the bathrooms and kitchen. Bathroom and kitchen faucets come in different styles, materials and functions. Many homes in Westchester County were built more than 25 years ago. As a result, some of the plumbing is dated or in need of mechanical repair. Fixing the pipes and updating the fixtures is a guaranteed way to appeal to prospects. Recently, while pressure washing a deck in Scarsdale, our customer told us they had just updated their plumbing.  They did it themselves in less than 45 minutes. Furthermore, they said they painted the rooms which made them more inviting.

 

  1. Pride.

    Taking pride in your home and neighborhood increase home values. It also keeps the neighborhood clean and encourages others to do the same. When cutting your grass, planting or out for a walk, if you see trash pick it up. Even if the sidewalks and streets are county owned, helping to maintain them benefits all residents and home values.

 

  1. Pressure Cleaning.

    As mentioned earlier, real estate agents and private home owners call us when renting or selling their homes. This is because the home exterior which includes the house, roof, siding, patio, deck, fence and walkways greatly affect home appearance. Therefore, a dirty roof with black streaks, mold, mildew, lichens or moss depreciates home prices. As well as decks and patios that need to be pressure washed. And of course, a dirty house and siding make a home look in need of repair.

 

Are there other benefits to pressure washing my home?

We get calls from homeowners in Chappaqua, Scarsdale, Katonah, White Plains, Bronxville, Armonk, Pleasantville and almost every town in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess County for pressure washing services. Often times these pressure washing calls are because the home exterior is dirty and they want it cleaned. Other times, the insurance company is about to cancel the homeowners policy because the roof has black streaks, lichens, moss, mold or mildew.

home values, power wash, power washing, roof shampoo, dirty roof, roof cleaning, house cleaning, roof soft wash, roof clean, dirty roof, before and afterEven home insurance companies determine a home’s worth by its appearance and signs of deterioration. Most times a dirty roof with black streaks or even mold, mildew, lichens or moss does not to be replaced. We have soft washed many roofs with these conditions and returned them to looking great. Unfortunately though, a roof with dirty conditions is often viewed as damaged and in need of replacement.

Replacing a roof can cost 10 times the price of cleaning dirt streaks, moss, mold, mildew and lichens from the roof. But, insurance companies are not roof companies. Roofing companies make more profits by telling homeowners black streaks are a sign of roof damage and need replacement. This is not true. Most roofs can last 25 years if cleaned every 5 years taken care of properly.

Roofing companies sells roofs not roof cleaning as their making profit machine. Before replacing a roof with black streaks, mold, mildew, lichens or moss, give Westchester Power Washing a call (914) 490-8138.
