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. Left alone they creep a little further down the shaded slope each summer. We treat them at low pressure, so the algae dies and the shingles keep their granules. From Main Street and the Old Mill to Old Cherokee Road, the whole town is in range.

Why roofs streak in Lexington
Between the moisture Lake Murray puts in the air and the shade from the pines around the newer subdivisions, a roof slope in Lexington can stay damp until midday. That is the slope that streaks first, and usually the one you cannot see from the road.
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. Our guide to soft washing versus pressure washing a roof explains why.
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 newer concrete drives that show every stain.
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 Lexington
In Lexington you find vinyl-sided subdivisions built since the 2000s, with lake houses along the shore. However the house is built, a roof cleaning job comes down to a few surfaces, and 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 in Lexington. With the moisture Lake Murray puts in the air, a slope that stays in shade most of the day is 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.
My HOA wants proof of insurance. Can you send it?
Yes, on request, to you or straight to the HOA.
