Roof Washing for Farmington Hills homes
Why Farmington Hills properties need roof washing
With housing this varied across such a large city, cleaning needs range widely, but the abundant mature trees around Heritage Park and the older subdivisions leave many homes shaded and prone to algae on roofs and north walls.
Farmington Hills is one of Oakland County’s largest and most established suburbs, and its housing reflects that scale: a broad mix of colonials, ranches and contemporary homes ranging from modest to genuinely upscale across neighborhoods like Ramblewood and Independence Commons. With this much variety, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, the right cleaning for a 1970s brick ranch differs from what a newer contemporary needs.
What unites much of the city is its abundant mature tree cover, especially around Heritage Park and the older subdivisions. All that shade keeps roofs and north-facing walls damp, and damp surfaces grow algae and moss that streak shingles and dull siding. Whether the home is value-tier or upscale, a soft wash tuned to its surfaces and regular gutter cleaning keep these tree-shaded Farmington Hills properties looking their best.

About our roof washing service
Those ugly black streaks running down your roof aren’t dirt — they’re a living algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on asphalt shingles and thrives in Michigan’s humid, shaded conditions. Left alone, it spreads, traps heat, and shortens the life of your roof. Roof washing — also called roof cleaning — removes it completely and stops it from coming back.
We clean roofs the right way: a 100% low-pressure soft wash. Power washing a roof blasts the protective granules off your shingles and can void your manufacturer’s warranty. Instead, we apply a manufacturer-approved cleaning solution that kills the algae, moss, and lichen at the root, then gently rinse — no scrubbing, no granule loss, no damage.
The payoff is a roof that looks years younger, sheds heat better, and lasts longer — protecting one of the most expensive components of your home.
- Removes black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma algae), moss and lichen
- 100% low-pressure soft wash — never damages or voids shingle warranties
- Extends roof lifespan and improves energy efficiency
- Recommended by shingle manufacturers (ARMA) over pressure washing

Roof Washing in Farmington Hills — FAQs
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Those streaks are a hardy blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and spreads across damp, shaded roofs — extremely common in humid Michigan summers.
Will pressure washing damage my roof?
Yes — high pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles and can void your warranty. We only soft wash, which is the method the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Most metro Detroit roofs benefit from a soft wash every 2–4 years, depending on tree cover and shade. Catching it early prevents permanent staining and premature shingle aging.
