What are the black streaks on my roof?
Black streaks are commonly caused by a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma, which feeds on roofing materials and can shorten the lifespan of your shingles if left untreated.
Is roof cleaning safe for asphalt shingles?
Yes. Professional roof cleaning uses a low-pressure soft wash process that safely cleans shingles without the damage associated with high-pressure washing methods.
How do I know if my roof needs moss removal or roof treatment?
If you notice green moss growth, dark streaking, discoloration, or excessive debris buildup, your roof may benefit from professional treatment. Moss can trap moisture and lead to premature roof deterioration.
Do you clean roofs throughout Cleveland and Columbus?
Yes. Pristine Clean provides roof cleaning and roof treatment services throughout Northeast and Central Ohio, including Cleveland, Columbus, and many surrounding suburbs.
Can you pressure wash moss off the roof?
No! Treating the moss that is growing on your roof and using high pressure to manually take it off are two very different things. Never allow anyone to pressure wash your roof. It will get irreparably damaged. Instead, treat the roof with a mildewcide that kills the moss down to the roots and will allow it to gradually work its way off the roof. Pristine Clean does offer a manual moss removal service for customers who would like the treated moss physically removed once it has died.
Do you offer a shingle rejuvenation service?
Yes! Roof Renew is our shingle rejuvenation service. Over time, your shingles lose their oils and dry out. In addition to fading the color and vibrancy of your roof, the loss of shingle oil leads to brittleness, cracking, leaking, and reduced granular adhesion. The bottom line: Dried-out shingles look ugly, protect poorly, and age quickly. The Pristine Roof Renew can bring your shingles back to life with the application of our shingle rejuvenator that will restore the lost oils to your shingles and return them to near original-condition. The Pristine Roof Renew can add 5-15 years to the life of your shingles.
