Company Overview

H2O-PROS is a certified and insured exterior cleaning service provider in Gainesville, FL, and nearby areas. We focus on a gentle roof washing technique that is safe for asphalt shingles and various roofing materials. If you live in Florida, you might have seen dark streaks appearing on asphalt shingle roofs. While these streaks are often blamed on dirt buildup, faulty shingles, mold, or mildew, the primary offender is actually blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa Magma, which spreads through airborne spores. Cleaning your roof offers a noticeable improvement in your home's curb appeal and helps retain its value. Your home's curb appeal can suffer, and its lifespan can be shortened by black streaks on the roof, regardless of how beautiful your landscaping, windows, or mailbox may be. Besides improving your home's look, a clean roof also supports its durability. Without regular maintenance, roofing materials can deteriorate at an accelerated rate. Even though algae growth is largely cosmetic, it feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles. When algae or moss grows thickly on a shingled roof, it can create openings between shingles, exposing the underlying decking to moisture, which may result in rot and leaks.
