Roof Cleaning FAQs
Yes, but only with the right method. Black roof streaks are algae and must be treated with a low-pressure soft wash plus a biodegradable cleaning solution. High pressure damages shingles and is not safe.
Soft wash roof cleaning follows ARMA guidance and is the recommended method by most shingle manufacturers. High-pressure roof washing CAN void warranties because it damages granules.
Most Hampton homes benefit from roof cleaning every 3-5 years. Heavily shaded roofs or roofs near the water may need it more often.
