Clear the black streaks without walking off your shingles

Those dark streaks on a roof are algae, and moss holds moisture against the shingles. A low-pressure soft wash treats both without the shingle damage that pressure washing a roof causes.

A roof being soft washed

Our roof washing includes

Low-Pressure Treatment

We treat the roof with a cleaning solution rather than blasting it, because pressure washing shingles strips the granules that protect them.

Algae and Moss Removal

We clear the black streaks from algae and treat moss that traps moisture against the roof surface.

Gutter and Landscape Care

We protect and rinse gutters, downspouts, and plantings so the runoff does not cause a second problem.

Careful Access

We work the roof safely and avoid unnecessary foot traffic on the shingles.

Why soft washing a roof matters

Pressure Ruins Shingles

High pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles and shortens the life of the roof, so we never use it up there.

We Treat the Growth

Algae and moss come back if you only knock them loose, so we treat them for a result that lasts.

Moisture Is the Enemy

Moss holds water against the roof and speeds its wear, so clearing it protects the roof, not just its looks.

Roof washing questions

What are the black streaks on my roof?

They are almost always algae. A soft-wash treatment clears the streaks and helps keep them from coming back quickly, without the damage that pressure washing would cause.

Will washing damage my shingles?

Not the way we do it. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution, never high pressure, because blasting a roof strips the granules that protect the shingles.

Does roof washing help the roof last longer?

Clearing moss matters, because moss holds moisture against the shingles and speeds their wear. Treating it protects the roof, not just its appearance.

What about my gutters and plants?

We protect and rinse gutters, downspouts, and landscaping so the runoff from the cleaning does not create a new problem.

How often should a roof be washed?

It depends on shade and tree cover. A north-facing or heavily shaded roof grows algae and moss faster, so it may need more frequent attention.

A clean roof that lasts longer

We clear algae streaks and moss with a gentle soft wash that protects the shingles, and we protect the gutters and landscaping around the work.
