Roof cleaning in Kingsburg that treats the growth

A roof can look ancient and still be in good shape. Around Kingsburg, those dark streaks are usually algae, and it takes hold on the shaded and north-facing slopes where moisture lingers after winter tule fog and rain. Dust from the surrounding farmland settles into the texture of concrete tile and asphalt shingle, and gives the algae something to cling to. Over a few seasons the roof looks darker and older than it really is, and it drags down the look of the whole house from the street. Roofs rarely get the attention walls and windows get, so the change can be dramatic. Left alone, that cycle repeats every year.

We don’t blast it. Pressure can crack tile and strip the granules off shingles. Instead we apply a cleaning solution at low pressure, let it work into the algae, moss and lichen, and rinse the roof gently. Thick growth may need extra time to release, and some lichen keeps fading over the next few weeks as weather rinses it away. We pre-rinse the plants below, rinse gutters and walls afterward, and keep foot traffic on tile to a minimum. The result is a roof that looks years younger without a single tile being stressed.

Homes under mature trees collect leaves in the roof valleys, which hold moisture and speed up growth, so those roofs often benefit most. A clean roof also makes cracked or slipped tiles easier to spot, which is handy before a sale or before solar goes on. It pairs well with a house wash and gutter cleaning for one consistent look.
