What is Growing on my Roof?!

In the PNW we all know that it rains ... A lot .

Rain , shade and trapped moisture are the recipe for bacteria growth.


Moss, Lichen, Gloeocapsa Magma.


These living organisms are the most commonly found bacteria growing on our roofs. We all know what moss looks like but If your asking yourself -


" What are the black streaks on my roof ? thats Gloeocapsa Magma.

Or

"What is the yellow spots and white spots on my roof "

thats Lichen.



Lichen on Roof before and after Soft Wash

Generally speaking, Lichen and Gloeocapsa magmma don't pose much of a threat as Moss does.

But if left on your roof too long it can still

cause granule loss. It's also unsightly, the nice way of saying ugly.

Moss is ugly too but whether you agree with that statement or not it has to go. Moss left on your roof too long can do some serious damage to your roof.




Moss soaks up moisture like a sponge.

Overtime the moss will cause the shingles to lift allowing water to rot out the plywood underneath.


Luckily, with our soft wash service we have the answer. instead of paying for a new roof you can spend a small fraction of that cost every few years to protect your investment.


Mr. Pristine Exterior Cleaning offers a two year no moss warranty.

If moss grows back two years from the date of the cleaning

we will come spray your roof free of charge.
