A Comprehensive Home Exterior Maintenance Guide
Expert Exterior Cleaning & Restoration Services in Lancaster County
Advanced Roof Care & Maintenance
Comprehensive Roof Issues & Solutions
Modern roofing systems face multiple challenges that require professional attention:
- Gloeocapsa Magma (Black Streaks): These bacteria colonies feed on limestone filler in shingles, causing permanent damage and reducing reflective properties. Early intervention prevents shingle degradation and extends roof life.
- Moss & Algae Ecosystems: Creates moisture-retaining environments that freeze/thaw cyclically, leading to shingle lifting and eventual water penetration. Our treatment includes preventative zinc or copper solutions.
- UV Radiation & Thermal Cycling: Causes granule loss and shingle brittleness. Professional cleaning and protective treatments can mitigate damage and extend roof lifespan.
- Ventilation Issues: Poor attic ventilation accelerates shingle deterioration and promotes biological growth. We assess and recommend ventilation improvements.
- Gutter System Impact: Clogged or malfunctioning gutters create water backup, leading to fascia rot and shingle damage. Our service includes gutter assessment.

Masonry Surface Restoration & Protection
Advanced Surface Deterioration Analysis
Masonry surfaces require specialized care to address multiple deterioration factors:
- Efflorescence Management: White mineral deposits indicate internal moisture migration. Our treatment includes both surface cleaning and moisture barrier application to prevent recurrence.
