Roof Real Clean

Introduction: Clearing up the myths about Northern Virginia roof cleaning. There is a lot of misinformation and confusion about how to properly clean a roof, especially since it’s a relatively new industry. The experts at Roof Real Clean would like to clear up some of the myths about roof cleaning. The truth is there is really only one safe way to remove unsightly black stains and streaks on your roof. The black streaks and stains often seen on dirty roofs are caused by a hardy type of algae known as Gloeocapsa Magma. This type of algae growth has airborne spores that land on your shingles and spread quickly. Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on the limestone contained in your roof shingles along with moisture and must be killed with the proper chemicals, or it will grow back. At Roof Real Clean, we never use high pressure when cleaning a roof. We use a low pressure rinse along with a bio-degradable roof shampoo that won’t harm your shingle or the surrounding vegetation around your home. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) recommends that roof shingles be cleaned with a low pressure wash chemical method, never high pressure! Don’t get “sold” on a new roof. Often, the dingiest dirtiest roofs are simply in need of a professional roof cleaning and are returned back to their original luster. Unfortunately, many folks get “sold” on a new roof, when all they really needed was a roof cleaning by a professional roof cleaning company such as Roof Real Clean of Northern Virginia. We are in the business of making our customers happy and that is why Roof Real Clean has become Northern Virginia’s ‘premier’ roof cleaning company.
