Roof cleaning in Hollywood, FLOff with the black streaks.
We look at your roof first, tell you how we would clean it and why, then clear the streaks, mildew and grime.
Roof Cleaning
Black streaks on a South Florida roof are most often algae, with mildew and dirt settling in beside it. Heat, humidity and shade keep it growing, on tile and shingle roofs alike.
A streaky roof makes the whole house look tired from the street. The method matters too. Too much pressure can crack or strip tile, so the cleaning has to match the roof it is going on.
Signs your roof is due for a cleaning
Black streaks down the slope
Dark runs from the ridge toward the eave are the classic sign of algae growing on the roof surface.
Green or gray patches
Mildew and film collect under trees and on shaded slopes, where the roof stays damp longer.
A roof that looks tired
If the tile or shingle looks dull next to a clean roof down the street, buildup may be the reason.
Dirty runoff in the gutters
Grit and dark debris washing into the gutters can be the roof shedding what has built up on it.

Hollywood & South Broward
Heat and humidity grow things on roofs
Warm, humid air and a long rainy season, roughly May through October, give algae and mildew plenty to work with. Many homes here have concrete or clay barrel tile, which is tough but can crack under the wrong pressure. We match the method to the roof.
