Roof Cleaning That Extends Your Roof's Life

Those black streaks on your roof aren't just ugly—they're algae eating away at your shingles. Left untreated, roof algae and mold shorten your roof's lifespan, reduce energy efficiency, and can cost you thousands in premature replacement.

Our soft wash roof cleaning kills algae, mold, and lichen at the root without the damage high-pressure washing causes. We use professional-grade treatments approved by shingle manufacturers to safely restore your roof's appearance and protect your investment.

What Are Those Black Streaks?

The dark streaks on Florida roofs are Gloeocapsa magma—a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It starts small and spreads across your entire roof, creating unsightly black stains that absorb heat and accelerate shingle deterioration.

This isn't just cosmetic. Algae growth:

  • Reduces your roof's reflectivity, increasing cooling costs
  • Breaks down shingle granules, shortening roof life
  • Lowers home value and curb appeal
  • Can void manufacturer warranties if left untreated

Soft Wash vs. Pressure Washing

High-pressure washing blasts away shingle granules, creates leaks, and voids warranties. Our soft wash system uses low pressure and specialized cleaners to:

  • Kill algae and mold without damaging shingles
  • Preserve protective granules and extend roof life
  • Prevent regrowth for 2-3 years (vs. months with pressure washing)
  • Meet manufacturer cleaning specifications

Types of Roofs We Clean

  • Asphalt Shingles – Most common in Florida, prone to algae
  • Architectural Shingles – Premium shingles that still need cleaning
  • Tile Roofs – Spanish tile, clay, and concrete
  • Metal Roofs – Remove oxidation and restore shine

Protect Your Investment

A new roof costs $10,000-$20,000 or more. Professional roof cleaning costs a fraction of that and can add years to your roof's life. Don't wait until the algae has spread across your entire roof—early treatment is easier and more effective.
