Don't replace your roof, Restore!
Let us show you how!
These common stains you see are actually an algae spreading over your roof. Overtime the algae can retain enough moisture to prematurely rot your shingles, costing you thousands of dollars in replacement costs. Instead waiting for this to happen, you should call Bear Surface Cleaning for a free estimate. We spray a chemical that will kill the algae and not damage your roof. It is sprayed on your roof with no more pressure than a garden hose. Our No Pressure Cleaning Method is the only method recommended by Asphalt Shingle Manufacturing companies.
Our trained technicians take care to respect and treat your property as our own.

What is causing the dark stains on my roof?
It is an algae that is spreading over your roof. It is called Gleocapsa Magma. It is a very common algae in the southern portion of the United States. It starts off as a small streak on your roof, overtime it will spread over your entire roof. This algae can prematurley rot your roof, causing you thousands in unnecessary replacement costs. Cleaning your roof can help prolong the life of your roof.
Why should I clean my roof?

How do you clean a roof?
First we will cover your plants and other landscaping. Then we water down the plants to ensure they will be protected during the process. We will then spray a chemical on your roof that will effectively kill the algae on your roof. The chemical is sprayed with less pressure than a garden hose. After we are done spraying the roof we remove the tarps and water down the plants.
How long can I expect for my roof to stay clean?
Each roof is different and there are several factors in each roof. A roof that is shaded by heavy foliage can not expect to stay clean as long as a roof without shade. Most roofs stay clean for 3 years, like I stated earlier it really depends on the situation.
Will cleaning my roof really save me money?
Yes. Cleaning your roof can save you money. First, the algae and fungus that grows can cause premature roof granule loss, and shorten roof shingle life. So you save money because you roof lasts longer and you won’t need to replace it.econd, when the algae turns your roof black, it becomes less reflective, and it retains heat; so your air conditioner works harder to overcome the increased heat load, costing money in electric bills.Third, the aesthetics of cleaning your roof when it comes to selling your home can not only save you money but can make you money too.
Will bleach or chlorine damage my roof?
It will not damage your roof. The use of these chemicals is actually recommended by the Asphalt Roof Manufactures Association. They go on to say that using high pressure washing systems should not be used for removing algae. They published a technical bulletin addressing proper cleaning for asphalt shingles.
As for your plants and grass we take every precaution to protect your property as if it were our own.
