If you are looking for a low cost option for enhancing your home's value and curb appeal, you have found the right place. I assure you we will get the job done right!
Premier Curb Appeal is a family owned and operated business. We take pride in offering expert industry advice and quality customer service while following our core values of honesty, integrity, and good judgment to ensure each job is completed to the highest standards.
As an industry leader in the Indianapolis area, we have cleaned hundreds of roofs while following shingle manufacturer's cleaning guidelines by using an approved chemical soft wash system that we guarantee will not harm your roof.
Warranty: While gloeocapsa magma algae will return with time, we have roof cleaning down to a science and are proud to offer customers an exclusive six year clean roof limited warranty.
What Are Those Black Stains On The Roof?
Those black stains are Algae. Algae appear as dark stains on shingles that usually cover more area on the lower section of the roof and taper as they reach the ridge.
How Does A Roof Get Algae?
Algae spread from one infected roof to another via airborne spores. These spores land randomly on a roof and take root. A protective sheath creates the dark color the algae forms to protect itself from UV rays.
How Does It Grow?
Algae require moisture and proper temperatures to grow. Dew is the primary moisture source. Algae are found predominantly in the Southeast, but it can and will grow nationwide. The algae generally grow on the northern exposures of the roof since this exposure generally receives less sunlight. Algae are well adapted to extreme conditions.
What NOT To Do!
Do not power wash the shingles to clean the shingles. Some roof cleaning companies offer this service. However, it is not recommended as it may dislodge granules, which can lead to premature shingle failure.
What Solutions Are There?
Some companies claim zinc strips installed on the ridge will stop or inhibit algae growth. I have cleaned dozens of roofs with copper and zinc strips installed and found they do work to a certain degree but only keep shingles clean for approximately three feet below the strip. A few shingle manufacturers have introduced a stain guard into some new shingles but in a low natural sunlight environment I have seen algae on roofs as new as 5 years old. The Roof Soft Wash cleaning industry is fairly new to the Indianapolis area and requires an
experienced professional with the proper equipment and insurance.
