Is There Anything I Can Do To Remove Stains On My Roof?

Contents

roof stains roofing help

The stains which usually appear on your roof, especially if it is made of asphalt shingles, are actually the result of algae. These algae commonly appear in climates which have warm and humid summers.

In case your shingles are really worn out, you could replace them with dark new shingles, in order to somehow disguise the staining. Or you could replace them with shingles which are treated with copper granules that can be lethal to algae. But in case your shingles are not that damaged, you could consider spray washing the roof with a mixture of bleach and water, to remove the algae, and rinse it afterwards. It is best to avoid using a pressure washer, because it can affect the state of your shingles.

But of course, you want to make sure that the algae do not come back and stain your roof again. In order to prevent this from happening, you could insert some strips of zinc or copper in the area which is closest to the peak of the roof. This can also work in the case of roofs which are affected by the accumulation of moss. To verify how this works, you can check other roofs in your neighborhood, and notice that the chimneys with copper flashing have zero algae stains.  A quality roofing company at https://www.roofonemichigan.com/ can help with the repair process.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
