Roof Cleaning in Charleston, SC
Black streaks on a roof are algae, not dirt, and they shorten shingle life.
Those dark streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. The Southeast is the worst region in the country for it, and Charleston humidity means it never really gets an off-season. We soft wash roofs at low pressure. Anything with real pressure behind it strips granules and takes years off the roof.
What's included
- Low-pressure soft wash: never a pressure washer on shingles
- Kills the algae at the root so it does not return in a few months
- Gutters and downspouts flushed as part of the job
- Annual cadence is realistic here; most of the country can stretch it further, we cannot
