About This Service

Those dark streaks running down your roof aren't just unsightly—they're a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma that's actually feeding on your shingles. Left untreated, this algae (along with moss and lichen) shortens your roof's lifespan and can lead to expensive premature replacement.

Our roof cleaning service uses the soft wash method recommended by shingle manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. We apply specialized cleaning solutions at low pressure (no higher than a garden hose) that kill algae, moss, and mold at the root without damaging your shingles.

The difference between a dirty roof and a clean one is dramatic. Many homeowners are surprised to rediscover the original color of their shingles. Plus, a clean roof reflects more sunlight, which can actually reduce cooling costs in summer.

Professional roof cleaning is also much safer than attempting to pressure wash your roof yourself. High pressure can strip away protective granules and void your warranty. Our soft wash method is the only approach approved by roofing manufacturers for cleaning without damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, which is why we don't use it! High-pressure washing strips protective granules from shingles, voids warranties, and can cause leaks. Our soft wash method uses low pressure and cleaning solutions instead—the only method approved by roofing manufacturers.
Those streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae. It spreads across roofs through airborne spores and feeds on the limestone in shingles. It's especially common in humid climates and shaded areas.
Typically 2-4 years, depending on environmental factors like shade, humidity, and nearby trees. We can apply preventative treatments to extend this period. Many customers schedule cleaning every 2-3 years.
You'll notice immediate improvement, but full results develop over 4-8 weeks as rain washes away dead algae and moss. Some heavy growth may take longer to fully rinse away naturally.
We take precautions to protect your landscaping by pre-wetting plants and covering sensitive areas. Our solutions are designed to be neutralized quickly. We thoroughly rinse all vegetation after cleaning.
Yes! We clean all roof types including asphalt shingles, tile, slate, metal, and cedar shake. Each material requires a slightly different approach, and our technicians are trained in all methods.
