What Color Is My Roof?!

What color is my roof

Roof mold and algae are the culprits that cause black streaks on roofs. Sometimes this black color mold will cover the entire roof masking the true color of the shingles. This buildup will deteriorate your roof much faster than a clean roof. By washing your roof you can expect it to last many more years. Pressure Washing Pros was contacted by Jessica in Lexington, KY to come and give her an estimate to clean her roof, brick and vinyl house, concrete driveway, concrete walkway, and rear wood deck.

Once arriving I immediately could see her roof was covered in black colored mold and algae. She actually thought her roof was black when in reality it was grey in color. She said "What color is my roof" with a look of disbelief. I educated her on the different methods and products we used to clean. After showing her our packages, she asked me to schedule a date.

We arrive on Sungale Court Lexington, KY early in the morning and completed the house wash in 3 hours using soft washing, the concrete cleaning in 2 hours using a high pressure surface cleaner, the deck cleaning in 2 hours and finally the roof wash took 4 hours. After the roof wash I educated Jessica that it may take up to two rain falls in order to wash the remaining dead mold off. Also, explaining that her roof will experience no damage because of our soft washing method.

The end result was shocking she admitted. She stated she couldn't believe her roof was actually a grey colored roof. she has lived there for 5 years and always thought it was black in color. She always recommends our team of pressure washing pros to everyone she know and tells them the story of when she didn't know what color her own roof really was!

Products Used:

  • Simpson Pressure Washer
  • Neverkink Water Hose
  • Flexzilla Water Hose
  • Cox Hose Reel
  • Lowes Tyvek Wrap
  • Roof Snot
  • Red Raider

These guys were wonderful! I had my entire house, deck, driveway, and ROOF washed! They were there on time, honest, performed quality work, and were very professional! They were able to explain in detail all the precautions they take to ensure safe pressure washing using a "soft wash" method to remove all the mold and algae. I hope this helps anyone looking to have their home washed. I can't recommend them enough! My house looks AMAZING!
