You have to know what you are doing, to clean a stone coated steel roof. They can be easily damaged by crude roof cleaning methods like Pressure Washing, and/or improper cleaning chemicals. We actually helped Gerard Roofing Technologies Florida write the cleaning standards for these types of metal roofs.
This stone coated steel roof we just cleaned here in Tampa is what is called a Decra Roof. As you can see by the pictures, this home is located right on a Lake, and the high humidity of this homes lakefront location caused the growth of the black algae, and green mildew on it.
It has been raining here in Tampa Florida for nearly 25 days straight, and we had to get up really early on this Saturday morning 8-8 2015 to get this roof cleaned.
It rained so hard exactly 5 minutes after we finished, that we had to run for our truck, then wait nearly 1/2 an hour to get paid. Many parts of Tampa are flooded, and we had to drive our cleaning truck through a couple of serious puddles of water, to get to this job today.
If you have any type of stone coated steel roof you need cleaned the right way, give us a call at 813-655-8777
Thanks Adam for the kind words! Do you ever see any of these Stone Coated Steel Roofs up there ? They are kind of common here in Tampa, and especially down in South Florida.
Nice job Chris. We just did one of these roofs Wednesday. It had the algae and lichen on it. We have done a couple of these types of roofs. I don't see many of these up here, but they get just as bad as a shingles roof.

Thanks, I guess these stone coated steel roofs are gaining in popularity. One of the reasons for the growing popularity of stone-coated steel roofs, is the wide variety of styles and designs available to homeowners who are looking to add some curb appeal to their home. Advanced technology makes it possible to imitate the premium look of clay, slate or shingle so closely, that it is nearly impossible to discern that it is actually made of metal. However, they do get dirty, just like a regular roof, and require cleaning.
