This classic brick Colonial in Bexley features a traditional slate roof with dual brick chimneys and copper caps. Moderate algae and dark staining had dulled the slate surface, diminishing the home's curb appeal. Our gentle cleaning process brought back the natural color variation of the slate tiles while carefully preserving the copper chimney caps and white-trimmed windows below.

The Challenge
While the algae coverage was moderate compared to some projects, the staining was widespread and had penetrated into the slate surface texture. The dual brick chimneys with copper caps required careful treatment — both to clean the slate around them and to preserve the copper patina. The white-trimmed windows below the roofline needed protection from cleaning solution runoff.
