What's growing on my roof?
Black streaks are often algae, while moss and lichen thrive in shaded, damp roof areas and can shorten roof life.
Why soft washing is safest
A roof-safe detergent is applied, allowed to dwell, then rinsed with low pressure so shingles are not stripped or forced open.
When to schedule roof cleaning
Most southern Connecticut homes benefit from roof cleaning every 3 to 5 years, with shaded or tree-covered homes needing attention sooner.
