Those black streaks on your roof? That's not dirt. It's Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on your shingles and spreads across your roof. In humid climates, it grows fast. Left untreated, it shortens your roof's lifespan and tanks your home's curb appeal.

Why Your Roof Needs Cleaning

Those black streaks on your roof? That's not dirt. It's Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on your shingles and spreads across your roof. In humid climates, it grows fast. Left untreated, it shortens your roof's lifespan and tanks your home's curb appeal.

Roof Cleaning Services

Roofs face constant assault:

  • Algae (black streaks): Feeds on limestone in shingles, causing dark discoloration
  • Mold and mildew: Thrives in humidity, spreads under shingles
  • Moss and lichen: Takes root in shaded areas, lifts shingles
  • Debris buildup: Leaves, branches, and dirt trap moisture against roofing materials
  • Pollen and dust: Coats surfaces and promotes organic growth

This isn't just cosmetic. Organic growth holds moisture against your roof, accelerating deterioration. Algae and moss lift shingles, creating entry points for water. Your roof ages faster than it should.

Benefits of Professional Roof Cleaning

Extends Roof
Lifespan

Removing algae, moss, and debris prevents premature wear. A clean roof lasts significantly longer than one coated in organic growth.

Improves
Curb Appeal

Black streaks make homes look ugly. Professional cleaning restores roof's original appearance, instantly improving your home's look.

Increases Energy
Efficiency

Dark algae growth absorbs heat. Clean, light-colored roofs reflect more sunlight, reducing cooling costs in hot summers.

Prevent
Costly Repairs

Catching issues early saves $$$. During cleaning, we spot loose shingles, damaged flashing, and other issues before becoming costly.

Protects Your
Investment

Your roof is one of your home's most expensive components. Regular cleaning protects that investment and delays replacement.

HOA
Compliance

Many communities have appearance standards. Roof cleaning helps you stay compliant and avoid citations.

Roof Types We Clean

Shingle Roof Cleaning Services

Our Soft Wash Process

1. Inspection

We assess your roof's condition, identify problem areas, note any existing damage, and determine the best cleaning approach for your roofing material.

2. Protection

We cover and protect landscaping, outdoor furniture, and any vulnerable areas around your home.

3. Pre-Treatment & Soft Wash

We apply biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate and kill algae, mold, and mildew at the source. Then using low-pressure spray, we rinse away dead organic matter, dirt, and debris. The pressure is similar to a garden hose, safe for all roofing materials.

4. Final Inspection

We check every section of your roof to ensure complete cleaning and note any maintenance issues for your attention.

Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing

All Surface Pressure Washing Services
  • Pressure: Soft wash is low (similar to a garden hose); pressure washing exceeds 3,000 PSI
  • Safe for shingles: Soft wash yes; pressure washing strips granules
  • Safe for tiles: Soft wash yes; pressure washing can crack or dislodge tiles
  • Kills organic growth: Soft wash kills at the root; pressure washing removes surface only
  • Regrowth prevention: Soft wash lasts months to years; pressure washing lasts weeks to months

We never high-pressure wash roofs. Anyone who does is damaging your roofing material.

How Often Should You Clean Your Roof?

roof-before-set3

We recommend roof cleaning every 1 to 3 years depending on:

  • Shade – Shaded roofs grow algae faster
  • Trees nearby – More debris, more organic matter
  • Previous treatment – Soft wash solutions slow regrowth
  • HOA requirements – Some communities require annual cleaning

Signs it's time to clean:

  • Black streaks spreading across the roof
  • Green moss or lichen visible
  • Neighbors have cleaner-looking roofs
  • HOA notice received
