PROTECT YOUR HOME'S ROOF WITH EXPERT ROOF CLEANING
#1 Misconception of roof algae among many home and business owners and even roofing companies
It has been our experience from talking with many troubled Gadsden homeowners and even business owners, that most roofing contractors will not tell the homeowner or business owner that their roof only needs to be cleaned. Think about that for a moment, why would they? We have had many customers tell us that a roofing contractor told them that the black streaks were water marks or a sign of wear, in either case, a roof replacement was recommended.
Another scenario is that some roofing contractors have no idea themselves what roof algae (AKA Gloeocapsa Magma) is and that it can be cleaned for nearly a fraction of the cost of replacing your roofing materials.
Some will also combat losing a potential roof replacement job by telling the homeowner that you can’t clean shingles without damaging them, which is completely untrue, unprofessional, and very untrustworthy of a business. Nonetheless, many homeowners are suckered into the costly, premature replacement of a roof that only needed to be cleaned and rejuvenated.
Roofing Industry studies have indicated that most roofs are replaced, according to a national poll, due in large part to the unattractive look of the roof surface, NOT because the roof is damaged or leaking. In fact, most homeowners don’t know that they have a roof cleaning option or have never been given another option to replace this horrible decision until now! Now you don’t have to waste hard earned money to replace a roof that can be easily cleaned for 1/10 of the cost of replacement and in a much quicker time frame with no waste to fill up overburdened landfills, plus no lengthy construction inconvenience. Low Pressure Roof Cleaning can usually be performed and completed and your roof restored within 1-2 days.

So you ask, What is Roof Algae?
In many regions across the country “especially the Southeastern USA” roof algae or (Gloeocapsa Magma) has become a very serious problem for home and business owners alike. Gloeocapsa Magma is an airborne algae that can land on any roof for no rhyme or reason, though it does seem to be more prominent in areas saturated with a lot of trees. This type of algae also thrives in warm humid climates, usually first appearing on the north facing slopes of roofs where the right amount of shade and moisture are common. The roof algae then feeds on the crushed limestone which is used in the manufacturing of asphalt shingles, and as it rains the algae spreads down the roof causing "black streaks". If not properly maintained, the algae will take over the entire roof in a few short years turning the whole roof black and causing your shingles to become very brittle or painted metal surfaces to become faded and oxidized. Once the roof algae has landed on the roof, it will have to be exterminated and removed properly or it will continue to spread, it will never get better, or just go away on its own. This is where NO Pressure Roof Cleaning does the job and ensures that it is properly removed and managed from that point on.
What algae does to roofs in Gadsden, AL
When roof algae is not taken care of, it will stop the shingles from reflecting heat from the sun’s UV rays. When this happens, it can affect your home’s heating and cooling costs without you even realizing it. Also, because the shingles cannot reflect heat, their qualities start to diminish rapidly and prematurely. Some signs of wear are as follows: curled corners, wavy or humped shingles, broke or loose shingles, and an excess of shingle granules appearing in your gutters just to name a few. Not to mention, it’s very unsightly and diminishes a business or homes curb appeal and value.
