Roof cleaning in Gaston, SC
Gaston is a small town in southern Lexington County, known for a collard festival and a lot of open country between the houses. Roofs here are roofs with one slope under the 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 Fish Hatchery Road, the Highway 321 corridor, the Swansea side and everything between.
Included in every roof cleaning job
Every slope, including the shaded one, on roofs with one slope under the 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 Gaston
The streaks come from the open country and the woods that border most lots. Shade from woods on one side of most houses 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 long drives and gravel edges.

On the ground in Gaston
Most of our roof cleaning calls in Gaston come from Fish Hatchery Road, the Highway 321 corridor, the Swansea side and the streets around Fish Hatchery Road. The surfaces repeat, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Roofs with one slope under the 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 long drives and gravel edges.
- 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 Gaston?
Three to five years is typical. With woods on one side of most houses, 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.
