Roof cleaning in Cayce, SC
Cayce sits on the west bank of the Congaree, with the Riverwalk on one side and the old streets of Granby on the other. Roofs here are older roofs under big trees, which is exactly where black streaks start: algae feeding on the limestone in the shingle, spreading down the shaded slope a little more every summer. We treat it at low pressure so the streaks die and the shingles stay put. We cover Granby, the Avenues, Knox Abbott Drive and everything between.
Included in every roof cleaning job
Every slope, including the shaded one, on older roofs under big trees.
- 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 before we leave, with photos of the roof from the ladder.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
Why roofs streak in Cayce
The streaks come from the Congaree right beside it and the Riverwalk running along the bank. Shade from mature trees on the older lots in Granby and the Avenues 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. Moss and lichen die on the day and let go over the following weeks of rain.
Gutters get flushed of whatever the roof sheds, beds get pre-wetted and rinsed, and walks and drives get rinsed afterwards so nothing is left behind on older drives and walks with years of build-up.

On the ground in Cayce
Most of our roof cleaning calls in Cayce come from Granby, the Avenues, Knox Abbott Drive and the streets around Knox Abbott Drive. The surfaces repeat, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Older roofs under big trees: 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 older drives and walks with years of build-up.
- 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 Cayce?
Three to five years is typical. With mature trees on the older lots in Granby and the Avenues, roofs under trees are at the shorter end.
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.
