Depends on your housewash chem.
If you use anything in it that eat's oil your going to brown the shingle's. So for the dormer's use a non limonlene mix or sodium hyd based soap.
You may find emulsifier plus from e-spec mixed with bleach best for this type of cleaning.
im lucky. I have 2 wash unit's and a helper. He just let's his washer run on the roof as i apply soap.

You could use a revised formula for that part of the house, and your regular stuff elsewhere.................however, how does this situation differ from washing the second story gable over a garage roof on an average two story colonial? It runs down the roof in that situation also..............
Thanks for your thoughts...I am planning on using a gentler formula for that area. Yes, I guess it is not much different than a colonial gable over a garage - I have yet to do one of those either!
All I have done so far are a couple simple ranches so I haven't had to deal with the issue in any form. So I garner that ample pre and post rinsing along with a milder formula are how these are generally dealt with......Thanks again.
