Roof cleaning in Blythewood, SC
Blythewood is big lots, long driveways and trees, from the horse farms and Doko Meadows out to the newer streets off I-77. Black streaks on a roof are algae feeding on the limestone in the shingle, and here they show up on big roofs on wooded lots. They start on the slope that dries last and spread from there. The fix is a low-pressure treatment that kills the algae and leaves the shingles alone. We cover Rimer Pond Road, Doko Meadows, the horse farms north of town and everything between.
Included in every roof cleaning job
Every slope gets treated, and the ground under the eaves gets looked after too.
- Every slope treated, including the shaded side where the streaks start.
- Moss and lichen treated so they lose their grip and release with the next few rains.
- Gutters flushed of whatever the treatment washes down.
- Plants protected. Beds pre-wetted and rinsed down after, runoff kept off the lawn.
- Walkthrough if you are home, and photos of the roof from the ladder by text when we finish.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Why roofs streak in Blythewood
The streaks come from the humidity over the wooded lots north of town. Shade from the pines and hardwoods on most lots keeps a slope damp long after the sun is up, and the algae takes the damp side first.
We never pressure wash a roof. A pressure washer takes the protective granules off with the streak and shortens the life of the shingle. The soft wash goes on at garden-hose pressure, kills the algae at the root, and the streaks fade as it works. Our guide to soft washing versus pressure washing a roof explains why.
What the roof sheds ends up in the gutters and on long driveways, some of them the longest we clean, so both get rinsed before we leave. Beds under the eaves are soaked first and rinsed after.
The black streaks are gone when we leave. Moss and lichen take longer: they die on the day and release over a few weeks of rain, which spares the shingles underneath.

On the ground in Blythewood
We work all over Blythewood, including Cobblestone Park, LongCreek and Blythewood Road. The surfaces repeat from street to street, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Big roofs on wooded lots: treated from the ladder and the edge, never walked more than needed.
- Black streaks: gone on the day. Thick moss and lichen turn white as they die and wash away with rain.
- Gutters: flushed of what the treatment brings down, so the runoff does not sit on long driveways, some of them the longest we clean.
- Plants below the eaves: pre-wetted and rinsed, runoff kept off the lawn.

Questions we get asked
How long does a clean roof last in Blythewood?
Three to five years is typical. Roofs that stay in shade most of the day are at the shorter end, because a slope that stays damp is where the algae starts again.
Do you walk on the roof?
As little as possible. Most roofs are treated from the ladder and the edge. Walking on shingles is what causes the damage the cleaning is meant to prevent.
Do you handle big houses on acre lots?
Yes. More siding and a long driveway just mean a longer day, and both go on one quote from satellite measurements.
