Roof Soft Wash
Low-pressure roof cleaning that removes black streaks and algae without damaging shingles or tile.
Those black streaks running down a Florida roof aren't dirt — they're colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a algae that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and spreads fastest in our humidity. Left alone, it holds moisture against the roofing material and shortens its lifespan.
A roof soft wash uses low pressure and a targeted cleaning solution to kill the algae and lift the staining, instead of blasting granules off shingles the way a pressure washer would. It's the method roofing manufacturers actually recommend, and it works on shingle, tile, and metal roofing alike.
Beyond looking better from the street, a clean roof reflects more heat and holds onto the granules and coatings that protect it — which is the difference between a roof that lasts and one that needs replacing early.
