Roof Washing for Rochester Hills homes
Why Rochester Hills properties need roof washing
The rolling, tree-covered terrain that makes Rochester Hills so desirable also keeps roofs and siding shaded and damp, so north and east elevations develop persistent algae streaking while gutters fill quickly with constant leaf and seed drop.
Rochester Hills is one of Oakland County’s most sought-after communities, full of executive homes and estates tucked into hilly, heavily wooded neighborhoods like Christian Hills and Avon Hills. The mature canopy and rolling terrain near Bloomer Park and the Paint Creek Trail are exactly what draw people here, but that same setting is hard on a home’s exterior.
All that tree cover keeps roofs and siding in deep shade, and shaded surfaces stay damp long enough for algae and moss to take hold, especially on north and east-facing walls and shingles. The constant drop of leaves, seeds and helicopters also packs gutters fast on these large homes. A gentle roof wash clears the growth without harming the shingles, and regular gutter cleaning keeps water flowing on properties where the canopy never gives the rooflines a break.

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 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 Rochester 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.
