Good to know before you hire
Never pressure wash shingles
High pressure strips the granules that protect shingles. Pros use low pressure and a cleaning solution.
Streaks are algae, not dirt
The black streaks grow on the shady side of the roof. Cleaning them helps the roof stay cooler and look new.
Roof work needs insurance
Only hire a pro who carries liability insurance for work on roofs.
