Roof Cleaning

Soft-wash roof cleaning that kills the algae staining your shingles — no pressure, no granule loss, years added to your roof's life.

Those black streaks are eating your roof.

Why it matters

The dark streaks on your roof aren't dirt. They're Gloeocapsa magma — a living algae that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Left alone, it shortens shingle life and can quietly void manufacturer warranties.

Pressure washing a roof destroys it. We never do. Our soft-wash system applies a specialized solution at gutter-safe pressure, killing algae, moss and lichen completely — the growths that weaken shingles — and the streaks fade with the next rains.

It's the difference between washing a roof and treating one.

In every visit

What the crew brings.

  1. 01

    No pressure. Ever.

    Soft wash only — shingle granules stay exactly where the manufacturer put them.

  2. 02

    Kills algae completely

    Treatment eliminates growth at the root, not just the visible staining.

  3. 03

    Extends roof life

    Removing algae stops the decay it causes — often adding years before replacement.

  4. 04

    Protects your warranty

    Algae damage can void shingle warranties; treatment protects your coverage.

Asked often

Questions, answered.

High pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles — taking years off the roof to clean it once. Soft washing cleans deeper with zero mechanical damage.
