Roof wash · Gretna, LA
Roof wash in Gretna
Those black streaks running down the shingles are algae, and they do not rinse off in the rain. Left alone, the growth holds moisture against the roof and keeps spreading.
Why Gretna properties need it
Gretna works against clean exteriors
Gretna sits right against the river, and the humidity that comes off it never really leaves. Live oaks shade the older streets, which keeps north-facing walls damp enough to grow algae year round, and the same canopy drops pollen and leaf tannin on every driveway under it. Add delta soil that settles and cracks slabs, and exteriors here need attention on a schedule, not once a decade.
Roofs never get pressure washed here. Pressure lifts shingles, strips granules, and shortens the life of the roof it was supposed to clean. A roof wash is a soft wash: solution on, growth dies, everything rinses away without force.

Straight talk
If someone quotes you a roof pressure wash, hang up
Pressure strips the granules that are the roof's sun protection, lifts shingle edges, and takes years off the roof it was hired to clean. The damage does not show the day it happens — it shows at the next storm. Here the roof gets solution and a gentle rinse, and the pressure washer stays on the truck.
