Heavy Roof Algae Removal in Nixa
A 2,400 sq ft asphalt shingle roof streaked with Gloeocapsa magma was restored without abrasive pressure — saving the Patel family from a premature reshingle quote.
Mark and Jenna Patel had been quoted nearly $14,000 for a partial reshingle because of heavy black streaking. Whetstone Exterior Services demonstrated the streaks were Gloeocapsa magma — a roof algae — and treated the entire roof with a low-pressure soft wash for a fraction of the price.
Roofing salespeople had visited the Patel home twice in six months, each pushing a partial tear-off. The black streaks running down the south-facing slope, however, were not granule loss or shingle failure. They were Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy roof algae fed by moisture and humidity. Whetstone confirmed the diagnosis with a magnified shingle inspection and proposed a soft wash with a 12-month no-streak guarantee.
