Roof Algae Treatment in Hamilton OH

Those dark black streaks running down your roof aren't dirt. They're caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Once it takes hold, it spreads across the entire roof within a year or two. It makes your home look decades older than it actually is. Professional soft wash treatment is the safe and effective answer.

Black streaks that start near the top of your roof and run downward are the telltale sign. They usually appear on the north side first because that side holds moisture longer. Algae isn't just ugly. It actually darkens your shingles enough to increase heat absorption, which can raise your cooling costs in Hamilton's hot summers. If you can see streaks from the street, the algae colony has been active for a while.

We use a specialized soft wash solution designed specifically for roof algae. The treatment is applied at low pressure from the ground or ladders. No one walks on your shingles. No high pressure touches your roof. We treat the entire roof surface, not just the visible streaks, because algae spores exist in areas you can't see yet. This full coverage approach gives you the longest lasting results.
