Those black stains are likely Gloeocapsa magma algae, common in our humid climate. While pressure washing can damage shingles, we use a specialized, low-pressure soft wash system with EPA-approved, algae-resistant cleaning solutions. This safely removes the stains and helps prevent them from returning as quickly, protecting your roof's integrity and curb appeal.

Signs include excessive heat in your attic, higher cooling bills, or ice dam-like ridges on shingles (even in Florida). Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, which in our area can bake shingles from below and promote mold or wood rot. We perform a detailed attic inspection to assess intake and exhaust flow, then recommend solutions like ridge vents or soffit vents to extend your roof's lifespan and improve home efficiency.

While cleaning removes surface algae, it doesn't fix underlying ventilation problems. In fact, a chronically damp, poorly ventilated attic will cause algae to return faster. We often recommend combining our cleaning service with a ventilation evaluation. This two-pronged approach addresses both the symptom (stains) and the root cause (trapped moisture), giving you a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting roof.
