What are those unsightly black marks on your roof?
If you’ve been watching those black streaks grow from the gutters up, they’ didn’t appear overnight. They’ve been slowly working their way into your roof for years. And you need roof cleaning as soon as possible.

When you or a contractor get up on the roof and pressure wash to remove those ugly black streaks more harm is being done than good. The high pressure from the washer:
