Roof Washing in New Haven, IN – Safe, Effective, and Like-New Results!

At Grind & Shine LLC, we recently completed a roof cleaning project in New Haven, IN, for homeowners Joe and Pam. Their roof had visible black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that commonly grows on asphalt shingles in humid environments.

These streaks not only hurt the curb appeal of the home, but they can also trap heat and reduce the lifespan of roofing materials. Joe and Pam wanted a professional solution that wouldn’t damage their roof and that’s exactly what they got.

Our Process

We used our AR45 roof pump along with a custom detergent blend designed to cling to the roof and break down organic growth. This soft washing method is low-pressure, making it completely safe for shingles while still delivering a deep clean.

Time on site: 2.5 hours

Equipment used: AR45 pump, soft wash wand, cling-enhancing detergent

Protection: We implemented thorough plant and grass protection to prevent runoff from affecting surrounding landscaping.

The Results

The difference was night and day. Joe and Pam’s roof looked clean, and like new again. They were thrilled with the results, noting the job was “timely, efficient, and impressive.”
