Can’t I Just Wash my Roof?
The black streaks found on asphalt roof shingles are commonly thought to be moss, mold or even fungus, but the truth is it’s most likely blue-green algae which takes the appearance of dingy black streaks. Pressure washing away algae is not an ideal solution. Not only will algae grow back becoming a recurring hassle and expense, but repeated roof cleaning may damage and decrease the longevity of your roof. A better solution is to prevent black streaks before they start by selecting shingles featuring Scotchgard™ Protector.
Mike Holmes accepts nothing less than top-performing products that are proven to last. Scotchgard™ Protector is backed by decades of science and is proven to protect against black streaks caused by algae.

Dew on your roof, along with sunlight and humidity make the perfect environment for algae growth. We found that copper is highly effective at preventing the growth of black streaks caused by algae. The copper in our roofing granules slowly dissolves into dew on roofs over time to help prevent black streaks and keep your roof looking beautiful.
