Roof cleaning in Lexington, SC
Lexington sits between the lake and the Old Mill, and the lake sets the weather for every house in town. Black streaks on a roof are algae feeding on the limestone in the shingle, and here they show up on light-colored shingle roofs in the newer subdivisions. They spread down the shaded slope a little more every summer. We treat them at low pressure so the streaks die and the shingles stay put. From Main Street and the Old Mill to Old Cherokee Road, the whole town is in range.
Included in every roof cleaning job
Every slope, including the shaded one, on light-colored shingle roofs in the newer subdivisions.
- 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 Lexington
Lexington roofs get the moisture Lake Murray puts in the air on one hand and the pines around the newer subdivisions on the other. The result is a north or east slope that never quite dries, and that is where the black shows up.
The treatment is chemical, not mechanical. It goes on gently, sits, and kills the algae where it grows. On light-colored shingle roofs in the newer subdivisions, that matters, because pressure would take years off shingles that are already working hard. Moss and lichen release on their own over the following weeks.
The job is not done at the ridge. Gutters get flushed, newer concrete drives that show every stain get rinsed, and the beds under the drip line are wet down before and after so nothing the roof gives up lands on the plants.

On the ground in Lexington
The houses in Lexington run to vinyl-sided subdivisions built since the 2000s, with lake houses along the shore, which means a roof cleaning job here usually involves the same few surfaces. Each one gets its own treatment.
- Light-colored shingle roofs in the newer subdivisions: 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 newer concrete drives that show every stain.
- 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 Lexington?
Three to five years is typical. With the pines around the newer subdivisions, 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.
