Roof Washing for Shelby Township homes
Why Shelby Township properties need roof washing
Lots backing up to Stony Creek and River Bends sit under heavy tree cover, so constant leaf litter clogs gutters and shade keeps roofs damp, accelerating moss and algae on shingles that rarely dry out.
Shelby Township stretches from established older ranch neighborhoods near the river up to the newer colonials and executive estates north of 24 Mile, and the cleaning needs shift right along with the housing. The newer subdivisions out toward Lakeside Estates bring tall, complex rooflines and long gutter runs that collect debris fast and are tough to reach safely from the ground.
The real signature here, though, is the tree canopy. Properties bordering Stony Creek Metropark and River Bends Park sit under heavy wooded cover, and all that shade keeps roofs and north-facing siding perpetually damp. That’s a recipe for moss on shingles and green algae creeping up walls. Regular gutter cleaning keeps the leaf litter from backing up, while soft roof washing clears the growth before it lifts shingle granules and shortens the roof’s life.

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

Roof Washing in Shelby Township — 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.
