Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Stryker Powerwash & Detail

Ideally, you should aim to get your house washed a couple of times per year, but you should consider washing it more often if you live in a wooded lot, beside a dirt road, or if you’re in an area that experiences harsh weather. Regularly washing your home will help protect your investment, as well as decrease the chances of future damages - which will save you money in the long run!

While some of it may be dirt, most of it is more likely gloeocapsa magma, which is a common strain of black algae that grows in areas that experience high heat or high humidity. It appears in black “tiger stripes” on your rooftop and gutters, and it’s best to have it cleaned as soon as you can once you notice it, because it can cause damage to shingles over time if left untreated. Gloeocapsa magma is easy to remove with our detailed roof cleaning services, and our soft washing process will never leave any additional damages on your rooftop.
