Recommended Shingle Maintenance:
Shingles are prone to serious attack by algae, moss and black stains. Shingle formulas have changed to include extenders like limestone, cellulose and various wood products. Less and less petroleum and felt ingredients are now used. The unexpected result is an increase in destructive algae infestation (black or green shingle stains) on millions of homes all across America. The stains also attack wood shakes and clay tile roof material. Shingle manufacturers did not intentionally create this side effect. However, moss, algae, and fungus are now consuming and decomposing your shingles, just as a fallen tree is decomposed in the forest. Both are nutritious plant food. Shingle formulas will not be changing back to the other stuff (non-algae food). After significant testing and research, we discovered a safe and effective cure. Successful treatment involves understanding the cause of the problem, not just splashing chemicals on the roof. Equally challenging is that algae are able to flourish on shingles as we stand helpless on the grd. Once Shingle Renew has treated your roof no other work is required. Rain will finish the rinsing process for you. The rapid rinse process can be used for immediate results.
Moss, algae and fungus decompose shingles, wood shakes and clay tile, just as they do fallen trees. Algae, moss and fungus are not harmless. They are destructive and cost home owners millions in unnecessary water leaks and roof replacements. They even reduce the value and appeal of your home. One could argue that primitive algae are stealing from you. The look of most shingles after a few short years in service is disgraceful. Investing thousands in a new roof can actually make your home look worse, not better!
What does the leading shingle manufacturer say about this new eyesore?
“Mold and mildew are functions of environmental conditions and are not manufacturing defects. As such, mold and mildew are not covered by this warranty or any implied warranty” Sorry homeowner, but you’re on your own.
If your roof is damaged prematurely by this type of growth, don’t look to the manufacturer for help. You would know this had you read your shingle warranty carefully. This pointless destruction is easy to prevent, and very affordable. Especially when compared to the rising cost of a new roof. At first glance, roof stains seem harmless enough. Not true. They are a very serious problem. If you already have black streaks or moss, or see it beginning to form contact Shingle Renew for treatment now.
Roof Cleaning can be a very dangerous task for the typical homeowner. Spraying a solution on your roof, then rinsing your roof will make your shingles very slick, and in just a blink of an eye, your foot could slip sending you down to the ground with serious injuries, or God forbid losing your life.
Some homeowners however like to tackle projects on their own. Many projects are easy to do, while some are difficult. On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the hardest task to accomplish, I would say cleaning stains from roof shingles is off the chart, and the majority of that is due to the safety issues involved.
With that being said, we are going to share with you a simple solution that will remove the streaks off your roof, and tell you how to apply this roof cleaning solution for the average homeowner.
You will need the following: a 2 gallon sprayer, a box of Tri Sodium Phosphate (the red box usually bought at Lowes or Home Depot), 10 gallons of sodium hypochlorite, at least fifty feet of garden hose, a garden sprayer, and a protection mask with cartridges to protect your lungs from breathing the solution. You will also need a good sturdy ladder, and also a helper.
First, you will need to hose off all your plants, and give them a heavy coat of water. This solution can damage and burn bushes, flowers, plants, etc. So make sure you give everything a good coat of water first, and while you are cleaning the roof, your helper will continue rinsing off all plants.
Second is mixing the solution we talked about above. Dissolve ½ cup of the tsp in hot water. Fill your 2 gallon sprayer with 1 ¼ gallons of water and ¾ of Sodium Hypochlorite. Pour in your tsp solution and mix well. You can add a squirt of household dish soap as well.
Third, apply this solution to your roof. Make sure you are wearing your protective mask at all times and also protective eyewear. Many times a gust of wind will blow up, blowing the solution into your eyes. You want to always be able to see on the roof. Apply this solution starting at the gutter line, about a ten foot wide section at a time. You will need to coat the entire roof where you have roof stains for the roof to come out even-looking. One 2 gallon container should cover 100-150 sq ft. On a 2000 sq ft. roof you will need several refills to complete the task. Make sure while you are coating the roof your helper continues to water down all plants. You would need your helper to also water down any surface besides the roof this solution comes in contact with.
Fourth, once you see your stains disappearing or turning brown, it is time to rinse the roof. Using the hose your helper was using and a garden sprayer, rinse your roof really well. The shingles will be extremely wet now, so be very careful in your movements.
Finally, once you have finished rinsing the roof, check to see if you have successfully removed all the stains. If not, repeat the process just for the stained area. If you have removed all the stains, then congratulations, you have successfully removed black stains from your shingled roof.

Reasons for cleaning include aesthetics, property values, energy efficiency, and increased longevity of the roof.
Whatever the main reason, if it is going to be done, it is in your best interest to know what choices are available to you. A quality roof should last upwards of 30 years if cared for and maintained properly. Unfortunately, many roofs increasingly throughout the US, are subjected to unnecessary stress while cleaning that greatly reduces the life expectancy of the roof. With repeated roof cleaning comes certain pitfalls that every homeowner, property manager, and professional cleaner should be aware of in order to avoid damage to property, unnecessary repair costs, and the premature replacement of the roof.
WHY HAS THE ROOF TURNED BLACK?
The black streaking typically found on homes in areas where moisture settles on shingles is not caused by mildew or fungus; it's roof algae. 3M scientists have identified the most common form as Gloeocapsa Magma. Algae spores are carried by the wind, which is why so many houses in the same neighborhood can end up with this problem. During the last 20 years, this particular algae strain has become hardier and so has been able to migrate to less humid environments than it has in the past. And in areas where it traditionally has been found, the staining is showing up earlier, is more severe and settles on a greater number of roofs.
HOW CAN IT BE CLEANED?
Typical roof cleaning methods involve either pressure cleaning or chemicals solutions containing Chlorine Bleach or Sodium Hydroxide. If used properly, these methods will clean the roof with minimal adverse impact - but the effects can be very temporary and will generally have to be repeated every 6-18 months in order to maintain the appearance of the roof.
WHAT IS THE BEST CLEANING METHOD?
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
A chlorine and water solution can be used followed by a thorough rinse. Of course, since chlorine can be toxic to people and plants, proper care should be taken to protect employees and the surrounding property from overspray and runoff. The benefits to using chlorine include a much faster cleaning process and minimal rinsing as compared to the other methods. This translates into much less wear & tear on the roof - particularly asphalt shingle roofs.
Sodium hydroxide based cleaners are generally advertised as safer for the landscaping, but sodium hydroxide is caustic, very toxic, and care should also be used to protect employees and surrounding property. Sodium hydroxide is also a very effective degreaser. So high levels of sodium hydroxide in a cleaning product can cause damage to an asphalt shingle roof that can be irreversible. These products generally require much more rinsing than the chlorine method. The rinsing process is not only time consuming, but it can also be potentially damaging to the roof if not done correctly. A quality sodium hydroxide based product should not require any more than 100 psi to effectively rinse an asphalt shingle roof and even then some granule loss should be expected.
THESE METHODS ARE NOT A LONG-TERM SOLUTION.
While these methods are relatively safe and effective when done properly, repeated use will lead to premature aging of the roof. The natural erosion that occurs over time from the basic forces of heat, cold, wind, and rain alone are enough to weaken most roofs to the point where annual inspections and minor repairs are necessary to prevent significant repair costs. But when the roof is repeatedly subjected to high pressures or harsh chemicals, the aging of the roof structure is significantly accelerated. With repeated cleaning, tiles are more likely to shift, slip, or break and asphalt shingles are more likely to become brittle and crack. When this happens, there is a greater likelihood of tearing the roof membrane simply by walking on the roof. Once gaps are created in the roof and subsequent pressure cleaning or chemical cleaning takes place, these gaps provide the water or caustic solutions a path to the roof membrane and increase the chance of costly roof leaks.
WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE?
A proper program of preventative maintenance will eliminate the need for future cleaning and the potential for damage that comes along with it. Preventing the recurrence of the algae growth will require a light spray of chlorine and water or an algae prevention product.
Most quality algaecides will last for approximately 6-12 months before reapplication of the product is necessary. Obviously, the longer the time frame, the better your chances are of minimizing any unnecessary damage to the roof. Prevention programs should be done in conjunction with neighbors whenever possible and many can be applied without a need for walking on the roof.
One important note about algaecides: Algaecide products are regulated at both the state and federal level. Any algaecide product used on a roof requires EPA registration as a pesticide or biocide and approval for use on a roof. Contractors found violating the law in this regard could find themselves facing fines up to $10,000. per occurrence.Thank you for reading our article on “How to Clean Asphalt Shingle Roofs”.
