Does Your Home Need Roof Cleaning?

Stand back and take a look at your house. Chances are, if it’s older than ten years, you’ll see a well-manicured lawn, trimmed hedges, spotless windows and clean siding, flowers in full bloom and…those nasty, vertical streaks of dark discoloration all over the roof that diminish your home’s presence by adding years of apparent neglect to an otherwise perfect picture.

Those black or green roof streaks that intensify and spread are not the untreatable product of an aging roof. They’re not stains leeching out of the shingles and they’re certainly not a sign your roof needs to be replaced. Those streaks and stains are mildew, mold, moss and roof algae that propagate quite nicely on moist roofs in humid conditions.

American Roof Brite (ARB) feels your frustration and, after 41 years of research and experience, they’ve cultivated the perfect solution. They’ll be the first to admit that this could be a do-it-yourself project, but they’ve seen enough to know that do-it-yourself remedies often do more harm than good.

The most well-intentioned homeowner could tackle the project with a pressure washer, but the blast of the pressure on the shingles is removing roof granules, stressing, cracking or breaking the shingles and reducing the life of the roof, so the apparent fix is creating a problem of a different sort. Plus, pressure washing doesn’t remove all of the algae or mold for long-term results—the growth returns quickly—so this approach is rather futile.

Bleaching or scrubbing a roof also proves damaging. Bleach and other chemicals will kill grass, shrubs and vegetation around the home’s perimeter; they’re not in the least bit eco-friendly. Scrubbing removes the granules from the shingles and steals years of life from the roof.

American Roof Brite provides a well-refined solution americanroofbriteva.com their proprietary cleansers remove the mold, mildew, fungus, algae, lichen, moss and all the tarnish that they bring. Their products are biodegradable and eco-friendly, approved by the FDA, free of bleach, acid or chlorine, easy on your shingles and they discourage new growth, so ARB provides the gentlest, most effective and longest lasting solution.

Once American Roof Brite cleans your roof and restores it to its natural look, they’ll follow up with a protective coating that prevents fungal re-growth.  As long as homeowners agree to have ARB’s protective sealant Stain Block™, applied every 2-3 years, American Roof Brite guarantees a stain-free roof for the life of your shingles.  Never have to clean your roof again.

Don’t replace your roof unnecessarily or distress yourself with remedies that do more harm than good. American Roof Brite has a time-tested solution that will restore your home’s extravagant curb appeal, help you to achieve your roof’s full life expectancy and remove any health or allergy concerns stemming from the presence of mold, mildew or algae.
