Safely remove dark streaks, algae, and mildew from your asphalt shingle roof. Professional cleaning methods that protect your roof's integrity and extend its lifespan in Austin, TX and surrounding areas.
Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common roofing material in Central Texas, and they're particularly susceptible to algae growth, dark streaks, and mildew buildup. Austin's warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for Gloeocapsa magma (roof algae) to thrive, especially on north-facing slopes and shaded areas.
These unsightly black streaks aren't just cosmetic — they can actually shorten your roof's lifespan by breaking down the protective granules and trapping moisture. That's why professional asphalt shingle roof cleaning is essential for maintaining your home's value and protecting your investment.
At Austin Roof Cleaning, we specialize in safe, effective cleaning methods specifically designed for asphalt shingles. Our low-pressure cleaning systems remove algae, mold, and debris without damaging your shingles or stripping away protective granules. We serve homeowners throughout Austin, Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Dripping Springs, and nearby communities.
