While researching the causes of roof fungus and mold I leanerd that the spores from the fungus spread from roof to roof. If one of your neighbors has a dirty roof, you are likely to get the same problems on your roof. I always encourage my customers to talk to their neighbors about getting thier roofs cleaned also. I would be dissapointed if a roof I just cleaned was re contaminated by the nighbors moldy roof. I offer a discount in these situations since the Jobs are just next door to eachother.. I even sweeten the deal witha discount if you refer other services of mine to your neighbors.. Remember I offer, Window cleaning, power washing, roof cleaning, deck spraying, concrete washing, and more..

Thats interesting. My house is a two story with no tress around but my neighbor has a ranch style and trees hand over his house. He has a terrible algae and mold problem on his roof.. Is it possible for that stuff to spread to my roof?

What causes black splotches to form on shingle roofs? My roof is covered in it, does this damage the roof ?

The Limestone in these shingles is the favorite food of “cyano bacteria gloeocapsa”. Unfortunately, homeowners don’t learn about this algae until their roof is badly stained. Bacteria spores are carried by wind, birds, squirrels, etc. The roof stains are caused by the airborne spores from blue & green algae (Cyano Bacteria). These roof raiders land on your roof shingles and feed on the limestone base of the asphalt shingles. Then fungus, mold and mildew grow on the roof algae, as they require organic food (the algae) to survive. As the roof algae grows, it holds moisture allowing the growth to accelerate. Thus the roof streaks and stains spread wider and darker over time. These pest are then tracked and blown onto other roofs in the area..

Some of us even don’t realize the importance of this information. What a pity.
