Black streaks are algae, not dirt, so scrubbing will not fix them. The roof gets treated at about garden-hose pressure and the streaks rinse away. Nothing gets stripped or loosened.

Algae. It grows well in Raleigh's humidity, especially on shaded slopes. Because it's living growth and not dirt, it has to be treated, not scrubbed.
High pressure can. That's why roofs get soft washed: the solution goes on at about garden-hose pressure and nothing is blasted off the shingles.
Every roof gets a custom estimate. Size, pitch, material and the amount of growth all change the price.
Every two to three years for most roofs here, sooner on heavily shaded ones.
Plants and beds are pre-wet before I start, delicate plants are covered where needed, and everything gets rinsed again when I'm done. Keep pets inside until surfaces are rinsed.
Amos just finished power washing our 2 story house. He confirmed the appointment ahead and arrived promptly. I especially appreciate that he wets down our plants before spraying, then rinses them gently afterwards. The house looks fantastic, our 2nd year and highly recommend!
