Many times when we show up to do an estimate for roof cleaning many questions are asked, like "what is that black stuff or streaks on my roof" The black streaks or stains is commonly known as mold algae (Gloeocapsa Magma). These stains will significantly affect the look of your home. In past years most assume that replacing your roof is the only solution, well this is not the case anymore. It is estimated that 50% of all roof replacements have been done because of appearance and not functionality.

These stains are impossible to remove without the aid of chemicals, yes a lot of times the so called roof cleaning company's just use pressure to remove the stains and not a chemical that kills it. Once a few months go by the streaks start to reappear, this is because a correct chemical to kill the black mold that grows on your roof was not used.

When J & M Pressure Washing Plus Roof Stain Removal comes to clean your roof, we offer only one types of method. No pressure roof washing method, we apply a cleaner that kills the mold on your roof. This is a mixture of 3 types of cleaners in one, we also place chemical bags on your down spouts and redirect the run off away from your grass or plants, plus we keep everything very wet during our cleaning process. We have one dedicated ground man during the cleaning and his job is just that, keep everything wet and clean on the ground. Keep in mind what grows on your roof is a mold fungus or algae so it needs to be killed that way the growth will stop. This method is very safe, with no pressure applied the danger of losing any amount of asphalt off your shingles is totally eliminated.

To this day I still see pressure washing company's using 2000 to 3000 psi pressure washers on local area roofs around Hampton Roads, this method is devastating to a home owner and will cause granite fibers to be removed from your roof shingles. This will lead to roof replacement and thousands of dollars that you did not need to spend.

We would be happy to give you a free estimate and show you what we can do to improve the look of your home, give us a call.
