Having your roof washed is one of the most valuable things you can do to your home. Not just because removing those pesky black streaks makes the roof look nice, but those black streaks, and other organic matter that grows on your roof holds a lot of moisture.
Over time that moisture sitting on your roof can cause long term damage as it can get under the singles and set onto the wood panels protecting your roof.
