Copper Cat | Roofing Services in Walled Lake, MI 48390

Our roof cleaning service centers on installing our patented Copper Cat Algae Terminator® system. Instead of a temporary chemical wash, we strategically install copper strips near your roof's peak. When it rains, trace amounts of copper ions wash down the roof surface, creating an environment that naturally inhibits the growth of algae, moss, and mold. This addresses the root cause of unsightly black streaks and protects the limestone in your asphalt shingles from being consumed, which is what leads to granule loss and premature aging.

Absolutely. While our core specialty is algae prevention, the principles of protecting your roof apply directly to flashing issues common in our Michigan climate. A compromised flashing system allows moisture intrusion, which can accelerate algae growth and cause interior damage. During our assessment, we evaluate the condition of your flashing. For proper, long-term performance of our Copper Cat system, we ensure that critical areas like flashing are sound and may recommend repairs or replacement by trusted local partners to create a fully protected roofing system for your home.

Yes, the Copper Cat Algae Terminator® is designed as a permanent, install-and-forget solution. Unlike pressure washing, which can blast away protective granules and only offers a temporary clean look, our system provides continuous protection. Pressure washing does not prevent regrowth and can actually accelerate shingle degradation. Our copper-based system works year-round to prevent new growth from taking hold, protecting your investment and extending your roof's lifespan without the risk of damage associated with high-pressure cleaning methods.
