Brief Explanation These homeowners are friends of mine. We met through a bible study that they hold at their home every Friday evening. For the last few weeks I've noticed that their roof, home and driveway could look substantially better with my pressure cleaning services.
Get The Dark Streaks Off The Roof
The roof was covered in multiple, long, dark streaks that stain the roof. It is very unsightly and displeasing aesthetically. The dark streaks are actually a bacteria called gloeocapsa magma. This bacteria is a spore forming bacteria that loves two things: high temperatures and moist environments. Thus, it is easy to see why it is so prevalent in Florida.

bacteria off of a roof.
The black streaks pose more of a threat than just being a little less than pleasing to look at. Gloeocapsa magma flourishes off of the limestone component of asphalt shingles. This results in an accelerated decay of the shingles capacity to reflect UV rays from the sun. Ultimately, the shingle will become less resilient to the sun and elements.
Restore The Roof's Appearance
In order to get rid of the unsightly black streaks and prevent premature failure of the roof material, we applied a low pressure wash with a chemical solution. This solution is a key ingredient that penetrates the bacterial spores and eliminates them. We then rinsed the roof with a low pressure water rinse. Next, we pressure washed the house. Following the house, we pressure washed the driveway and sidewalk.
I think that the pictures do a good job at showing the stark contrast from how the roof and home looked before and after the pressure washing was done. It is always enjoyable for me to show the pictures of before and after to the homeowners after the work is complete. The homeowners and good friends were very pleased with the work. Their home appears to have gotten a nice springtime facelift of sorts.
