A Curb Appeal

We are primarily a soft-washing company focusing on bacteria, algae, and fungi removal from roofs and other exterior surfaces. (We also pressure-wash but only flatwork as necessary to lift out petroleum-based stains.) Gloeocapsa magma is an ancient species of cyanobacterium that thrives by consuming the limestone filler found in concrete, brick work, asphalt shingles, and so many other manufacturing materials - it even grows on clay-tile roofs. Once it takes hold it creates a protective coating to prevent UV light from damaging it - the darker color in turn attracts more heat to the roof and through a mechanism knows as non-photochemical quenching radiates that excess heat into the structure, increasing strain on HVAC systems in the summer. Furthermore, as a byproduct of photosynthesis, gloeocapsa magma releases nitrates, attracting a much wider variety of biological culprits, and once fungi and the bacterium form a symbiotic relationship and become lichens then water retention becomes a much bigger problem and the roof (or other materials) lifespan is severely shortened. We do service both commercial and residential clients, so if you're ever in need of anything related exterior cleaning (Roofs, Siding, Decks, Fencing, Retaining Walls, Sidewalks, Driveways, Gutters, Windows, Solar Panels, etc.) please let us know, because we love what we do and are happy to help.
