Algae and moss take years off your roof.
Gloeocapsa magma is bacteria, not just discoloration. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, slowly degrading the protective granules. Moss is worse, it holds moisture against the shingle, lifts edges, and creates ice dams in winter.
Most asphalt shingle warranties are voided by neglect; cleaning the roof is part of maintaining warranty coverage. A cleaned roof can add years of life by stopping algae from eating the shingles.
Roof cleaning in your town: Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, Glastonbury, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, and New Britain.
ARMA-recommended soft wash, no pressure.
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association explicitly recommends soft washing with sodium hypochlorite for algae and moss removal. High-pressure roof cleaning blasts off the granule layer.

Soft washing uses low water pressure (about the same as your garden hose) and a biodegradable detergent, the chemistry does the cleaning. Pressure washing uses high water pressure with no detergent. Soft wash for siding, roofs, painted surfaces, and anything porous. Pressure wash for concrete driveways, brick pavers, and stone. We pick the right method per surface.
Yes. Detergents are biodegradable and rinse out at low concentration. We wet down landscaping before applying anything and rinse again when we finish. We've never lost a plant. Tell us about anything specific you're worried about when you book.
The opposite. Manufacturers expect maintenance. We document each job with photos and a method statement if you need it for warranty records.
