Roof Washing for Troy homes
Why Troy properties need roof washing
Troy's heavy tree canopy is beautiful but drops constant leaf litter into gutters and shades roofs and siding, accelerating algae growth on the north and east elevations.
Troy is one of Oakland County’s most desirable addresses, and its homeowners expect their properties to look the part. From the executive colonials of Northfield Hills to the established estates near Wattles, Troy homes tend to sit on large, mature, heavily-treed lots — which is exactly what keeps us busy here.
All that tree canopy means two things: gutters fill fast with leaf litter, and roofs and north-facing siding stay shaded and damp, growing the black algae streaks Troy homeowners want gone. We handle both, with the soft-wash care that high-end Troy properties deserve.
Neighborhoods we serve
Beach Park, Raintree, Wattles Estates, Sylvan Glen, Northfield Hills and throughout Troy.
Local housing
a mix of stately older estates and newer executive colonials on mature, tree-lined lots.
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 Troy — 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.
