Roof Washing for Sterling Heights homes
Why Sterling Heights properties need roof washing
As Macomb County's largest city, Sterling Heights sees heavy road-salt exposure each winter and humid summers that grow algae on north-facing siding and shaded roofs.
Sterling Heights is one of the cities we serve most — we’ve cleaned more homes here than almost anywhere else. From the established brick ranches around Plumbrook and Riverland to the newer subdivisions north of 18 Mile, we know exactly how Sterling Heights homes weather Michigan’s seasons.
The two big local culprits are road salt and humidity. Salt residue dulls driveways and siding all winter, while damp, shaded summers grow algae on north-facing walls and streak shaded roofs near the Clinton River. We clean for both — and because we’re local, we’re quick to respond and easy to reach.
Neighborhoods we serve
Lakeside, Plumbrook, Riverland, Clinton River Valley, Utica Junction and throughout Sterling Heights.
Local housing
post-war brick ranches, colonials, and split-levels plus newer north-end subdivisions.
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 Sterling Heights — 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.
