Roof Cleaning in Wayne County, OH
Those dark streaks and green patches are not just cosmetic. Algae, moss and lichen hold moisture against your roof and slowly eat away at it. Our soft-wash roof cleaning removes them safely and restores your roof's appearance.
What our roof cleaning service includes
The black streaks you see on many roofs around Shreve and Wooster are a type of algae, Gloeocapsa magma, that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Moss and lichen follow on shaded slopes, especially under the mature trees common in rural Wayne County. Over time they lift shingle edges, trap water and speed up granule loss.
Pressure washing a roof does more harm than good — it blasts off granules and can force water under shingles or past metal seams. We use a low-pressure soft-wash method with roof-safe cleaning solutions that kill growth at the root, then rinse gently. The result is a cleaner roof that stays clean longer.
While we are up there, we note any loose shingles, failing sealant or damaged flashing, so you get a quick condition report along with the cleaning.
Common problems we solve
Black streaks on shingles
Algae stains make a sound roof look old and can hurt resale value.
Moss on shaded slopes
Moss holds water like a sponge and lifts shingle edges, inviting leaks.
Lichen on metal or shingles
Lichen roots grip the surface tightly and slowly degrade coatings and granules.
Preparing to sell
A clean roof improves curb appeal and inspection impressions.
