Pennsylvania, Maryland & Delaware Roof Cleaning customers ask all the time, "Why should I clean those streaks off of my roof?"

Any Certified Roof Cleaner can give them multiple reasons why it would benefit them to clean their roof. The Roof Cleaners of Chester County Pennsylvania are certified by The American Roof Cleaners Association and The Roof Cleaning Institute of America to informatively answer any questions about the harmful effects of black algae stains on your asphalt shingle roof.

1. The build up of algae on a roof retains excessive moisture in the asphalt shingles. The moisture stays around long after the rest of the roof has dried. This excess moisture is harmful to your shingles over a long period of time. Shingles have a shorter life span when they are kept in an excessively moist environment. After a rain or frost in the morning, look at the section of the roof that has black algae stains/streaks on it and watch how long it take for that section to dry. Compare that section of roof to a neighbor's house. You will see that those shingles covered with gloeocapsa magma (better known as a blue/green algae) will often take several hours longer to dry than those shingles without black stains caused by algae.
2. Asphalt shingles darkened by the presence of algae, moss or lichen will often create much hotter temperatures on the roof than similar clean shingles. For example, a neutral colored asphalt shingle roof may reach temperatures of 120 - 130 degrees in the summer time. The same roof that is covered in dark black algae streaks may reach temperatures of 150 - 160 degrees on the same day. This extra heat that is retained in the shingles helps lead to premature shingle failure. The higher the average temperature of asphalt roof shingles, the shorter the average life span. Don't keep your shingles from reaching their full life expectancy.
3. Another side effect of excessive roof temperatures is the home's inability to effectively cool the home's attic. Higher attic temperatures lead to higher cooling costs in the summer. There is a reason people routinely install attic fans to help reduce attic temperatures. The least efficient utility in your home is your air conditioning system. The hotter your attic is, the harder your air conditioning compressor has to work to cool the house off.
4. Last but not least is simple curb appeal. People spend a lot of money every year to beautify the outside of their home. They spend money on lawn care, landscaping, mulching, leaf removal, painting and flowers. Why spend money on those things and still have a dirty, algae infested roof? The dark stains on your shingles really are an eye sore. They make your home look old and worn down. Most people think that you need a new roof when they see those black streaks. You roof is the largest visible feature that your house has. Don't let that billboard sized roof say, "My house looks old and unkept". Realtors routinely tell their clients to find a company to clean their roof before the hones is put on the market. A house with a clean roof sells much faster than a house that is covered in black algae streaks.

The Roof Cleaners are certified to safely clean your roof using non pressure cleaning methods. Our methods and cleaning agents are the only ones approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. They will not void any shingle warranties or cause any damage to your shingles. Any company that has to rinse or use pressure on your shingles (high or low pressure) is not using the proper roof cleaning solution.

We have multiple references available in your area (residential and commercial) and we will perform spot cleaning demonstrations if you are still skeptical about the effectiveness of our process.

Don't let gloeocapsa magma (black algae stains or streaks) damage your shingles or take away from the curb appeal of your home. It can be safely and effectively cleaned by a professional, certified roof cleaner.

Roof Cleaning Institute of America Certified Roof Cleaners have the proper training and education on how to clean your roof safely and effectively. A Pennsylvania certified roof cleaning company, such as The Roof Cleaners, uses only chemicals approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. These chemicals will clean your roof without using any type of pressure, even low pressure, and will NOT void any shingle warranties.

RCIA Certified Roof Cleaners are also taught all of the proper safety practices to ensure that no damage will come to you plants or your home's surroundings. We collect all runoff from your roof using collection bags placed at your downspouts and dispose of it in a safe manner.

We also refrain from using ANY type of pressure to clean your roof. Our cleaning process is accomplished using our freshly mixed cleaning chemicals. ANY form of pressure, even low pressure, will remove some of the protective granules from your shingles. You gutters will already have shingles granules in them from normal rain. Imagine what any type of added pressure will do to those granules! Because we use chemicals to clean and not pressure, our roofs will stay clean longer. We actually kill the algae that is growing on your roof so it will take a lot longer to return. Pressure cleaning removes the algae with force, but will leave some traces of it behind to start regrowing at a much faster rate.

Remember to ask if your Pennsylvania, Maryland or Delaware roof cleaning is RCIA certified!

We woked late last night to clean a roof in Wilmington Delaware. The customer is selling their house and at the suggestion of the realtor, he sought out a roof cleaning company. His For Sale sign went up last week and people were already making appointments to see the house. The roof needed to be cleaned asap!

We got to the job around 5:45pm Sunday evening. The customer was cleaning and painting outside when we got there. I spent a few minutes talking to the customer and then began my set up process. The house had a light grey colored shingle that had large amounts of algae growing on them. I took a few pictures before we started and then I climbed the ladder to begin the cleaning process.

I sprayed the left side of the roof with my roof cleaning chemical. The customer was really interested in the process and stood out in the street to watch how it worked. There was such a dramatic difference in the appearance of the roof that I decided to get a few pictures showing a half clean, half dirty roof. While taking the pictures, the customer asked, "How long will it take for the white soapy suds to go away on the roof?" Happily, I was able to tell him that he was not looking at white soapy suds. He was looking at the true color of his shingles. He couldn't believe it! He was sure that the shingles were never that color! He went in to the house and got his wife so that she could see the results. She was also in disbelief. She just kept saying, "Wow, this looks so much better. I forgot how nice out house really looks".

We didn't finish the job until it was took dark to get the after pictures, but I thought I would post the pictures we took with half of the roof cleaned. The customers were really amazed at the difference between the dirty and clean sides of the roof. It really is pretty impressive how well this cleaning process works and there was no pressure used to clean any part of this roof!

Here is a day in the life of a roof cleaner:

This past Sunday we cleaned a roof in Chester County Pennsylvania. We really needed to clean two, but the weather would not cooperate! Vacation is coming and there are just too many roofs to fit in before we leave! Anyhow, here is how Sunday went.

Two estimates for roof cleaning in Delaware County Pennsylvania had to be canceled because of monsoon type conditions early on Sunday. The rain was actually coming sideways. I stayed at home!

The weather cleared up around 1:00pm and I called my workers so we could get some work done. 2:00pm came along and the sun turned to rain - ARRGGGHHHH! I called one worker and told him to stay home. The other one was already here. We maintained some equipment that afternoon and suddenly the weather broke again. Sunshine was back!

It was now 4:00pm and we would only have time to get one roof clean today. We loaded up the truck and mixed up our PA roof cleaning chemicals and headed off to our job site. We were off to clean a roof in Oxford Pennsylvania.

We showed up at the job site and unloaded the equipment. We set up two ladders on the house. One forty foot ladder for the ridiculously high second story and one sixteen footer for the lower roof and garage.

My main roof cleaning employee, Paul, got busy laying out hoses for wetting down the house and plants and I got out our low pressure/high volume chemical pump and application hose. Paul takes excellent care to keep all plant life wet so our roof cleaning chemical does not burn any of the leaves on the landscaping.

I put on my chemical respirator and safety goggles and climbed the smaller ladder. This was not a real steep roof so I walked on this roof and began my application of roof cleaning chemical to the shingles. I use a simple heavy duty garden spray nozzle to apply my chemical. I can adjust it to a fan shaped mist or a heavy stream for those hard to reach places. I start at the top of the roof and work my way down. You can actually watch the algae die and start to roll down the roof. By the time I am done cleaning this roof, it looks almost brand new again! It is really amazing to see.

After I covered the entire roof surface with my chemical, I had Paul check out the condition of the roof from the ground and he directed me to any spots that needed to be treated again. I hit those spots and made my way to the ladder to get down. We cleaned up the hoses and equipment and brought the customer out to see the results. Needless to say the results were dramatic! The house didn't look like the same house! I explained to the customer that the roof would look even better after a good rain fall. She couldn't believe it!

I love the look on customer's faces when they see the dramatic transformation of their roof.  I love being appreciated

We brought the truck back and unloaded out gear. Then we got to enjoy the last few hours of our weekend. I can't rest for too long though. I have 4 estimates to give now. Two of them are for roof cleaning in West Chester Pennsylvania. It is going to be a busy week!

        

    The Roof Cleaners have been doing a lot of non pressure roof cleaning in Maryland lately. Maryland residents are finding out more and more what Pennsylvania roof cleaning customers and Delaware roof cleaning customers have know for a little while now. There is only one way to safely clean an asphalt shingle roof. That is with non pressure chemical application. The Roof Cleaners are one of the few Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware roof cleaning companies that will safely and successfully remove the black algae stains from your roof without pressure. There are companies out there using "low pressure" cleaning methods to remove the algae stains from your roof, but they still cause damage to the granules on your shingles!

    There is a lot of misinformation out there on the proper way to clean a roof. A perfect example of the proper way to clean algae or any other type of fungi from an area is demonstrated by mold remediation companies. They don't use pressure to kill the mold in your basement or house exterior. They use chemicals to kill the mold and prevent the mold from returning. That is exactly how The Roof Cleaners removes black algae stains from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware roofs. We use chemicals that kill the algae first and then a type of biostat that help prevent the algae from returning right away!

    Don't be fooled by the imposters! Use a company that guarantees results without pressure! Need some proof? Check out these pictures of a few roofs that we cleaned in Pennsylvania recently without pressure. Our customers were overjoyed with the results of their roof.

        

Took the day off from roof cleaning in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland on Sunday. Those black algae stained roofs will wait until I get a chance to rest a little.

We took the kids to Dutch Wonderland Sunday. This was their first real amusement park. They had a blast!!! It is amazing how well my children listen to me when they are having that much fun. I was pretty sure that my kids were born without ears and someone just painted them on until yesterday. They actually have fully functional ears! It's Amazing! The entire family had the greatest time!

Dirty roofs are an addiction however. I could see tons and tons of algae stained shingles from the top of Dutch Wonderland's water slide tower and the top of their roller coaster. I had to stop looking once the roller coaster started the downward plunge! I need to branch out and start doing roof cleaning in Lancaster County Pennsylvania as well as Chester County and Delaware County PA.
