If They Would Have Only Known About Roof Cleaning

A homeowner in the area was having some trouble with his roof. It had developed black streaks on the north facing side which happen to be the side facing the road. These unsightly black streaks lessened the appeal of the home and brought down the value. He had to look at the roof every time he pulled in the driveway and it disgusted him.

He finally called the contractor that had built his home and asked him about it. They both came to the conclusion that the shingles were bad so how even though the roof was only 8 years old. The contractor first tried to get the lumberyard where he had bought the shingles from to accept the problem as their fault, that did not get him anywhere for long.

He and the homeowner both contacted the shingle manufacturer whom asked them to send in a sample piece of a shingle that contained some of the black streaking. So the contractor took off a couple of shingles and replaced them with new ones. They then broke off a couple of small pieces and sent them off to be analyzed.

From the time the black streaks had first been noticed by the homeowner and the time that he got the test results back an entire year had passed. The results said the black streaks was roof algae and that they were not responsible for that. So the homeowner found a roof cleaning company and had them come out. Even with before and after pictures of roof jobs, testimonials, and a guarantee the homeowner was still skeptical as was the contractor. But once the roof was cleaned the results were instant and the both the homeowner and contractor were floored, the roof's appearance was completely restored.
