Roof Washing in Ghent, NY

Ghent roofs stain fast because many homes are shaded, surrounded by trees, and stay damp longer after rain. Black streaks are commonly algae, and green patches and moss show up on roof faces that do not get much sun. Roof cleaning needs to be done with a method built for roofs, not high pressure.

We use a soft wash process that treats the growth, then rinses with controlled pressure. It is the safer way to clean asphalt shingles while protecting the roof’s lifespan.

Ghent Roof Washing Built for Local Staining and Growth

In Ghent, black roof streaks and dark discoloration show up on shaded roof planes and areas near tree cover. Moisture and organic debris collect in valleys and along roof edges, feeding algae and allowing moss and lichen to spread. We clean roofs using a low-pressure approach based on soft wash so shingles and roof components are treated without high-pressure impact.
