Roof Cleaning Middletown NJ, Monmouth County












This roof was cleaned on Friday, October 29. This was a garden variety cleaning with slight roof moss. The primary concern was gleocapsa magma which is appears as blask stains on roof. We used the non-pressure method. We do not power wash roofs.

Roof Cleaning Essex County NJ











This is a roof cleaning in Essex County N.J. Most of the treatment was for black mold on the roof. There was partial lichen also growing which you can see was treated in the after picture. This lichen will dry out and fall off in a few rains. This customer was not home. Out of courtesy we cleaned the rubber molding around the garage door. This cannot be pressure washed to come clean. Honestly, for the first few years of this business we had a hard time to figure out how to whiten it. Now we know. We just apply some roof cleaning juice and within seconds its white again.

How Does Roof Fungus Destroy a Shingle?




These are actual pics of a roof infested with lichen. Notice the granule loss under the lichen. Without granules the underlying membrane is now exposed to the elements. This shingle will dry and split prematurely. This is proof that roof cleaning is important to the structure.
