This Roof In Dawsonville, GA Is Still Clean After 10 Months!

This roof in Dawsonville, GA was cleaned in June of 2023. This picture was taken 30 minutes after we cleaned the small area of the roof. The shingles were put on in 2015 and had never been cleaned. Today, the shingles are just as algae free as the day they were cleaned!

You can expect to have a relatively clean roof for 3 to 6 years. It really depends on two factors:

1.) How much shade does your roof receive? Shaded areas on your roof provide an ideal environment for algae growth. Areas that you should keep an eye on are the north and east facing sides of your roof, and areas that receive prolonged periods of shade from nearby trees.

2.) Do your neighbors have Gloeocapsa Magma algae on their roofs? If they do, the wind will likely carry the algae spores from their roofs and deposit them on your roof, thus starting the whole cycle all over again.

The algae growth process in shaded areas is very slow at first, and may take a few years before if becomes noticeable. Areas of the roof that receive long periods of sun may take 10 or more years before algae growth becomes a problem. Many of our customers like to have their roofs cleaned every 3 years to keep the algae grown under control and their roofs looking like new.
