Quick answer

What it is: a low-pressure soft wash that removes algae, mold and mildew from roofs. Who it's for: homeowners with shingle, tile or metal roofs. Where: Central Florida. How it works: we inspect the roof and surroundings, protect plants and surfaces, apply the solution and rinse. What affects price: roof size and pitch, material, buildup, access, and any added services.

Why roofs collect black streaks

The dark streaks on many Florida roofs are usually algae, including Gloeocapsa magma, which grows in warm, humid conditions and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Buildup can hold moisture and make a roof look worn. Cleaning removes the growth and buildup. It doesn't restore granules or repair damage, so we also note any missing shingles, leaks or soft spots we see.

Roof materials we clean

Asphalt shingle: soft washed at low pressure, then rinsed thoroughly
Clay and concrete tile: soft washed, or applied by drone on suitable roofs so no one walks on fragile tile
Metal roofs: soft washed with detergents suited to metal
Roofs in poor condition are inspected first, since worn or damaged roofing may need repair before cleaning

Soft washing or pressure washing?

Roofs are soft washed, not pressure washed. High pressure can dislodge granules and damage shingles and tile. Soft washing is slower, but it cleans without stripping the roofing material.

Questions

Common questions

Does roof cleaning damage shingles?

Soft washing uses low water pressure and detergents suited to the roofing material, which is why we use it instead of high-pressure washing. We inspect every roof first. Roofs in poor condition may need repair before cleaning, and we can't promise the same result on every roof because age, material and buildup vary.

How often should a roof be cleaned?

There's no single schedule. Shade, tree cover and climate affect how fast algae returns. Ask us for a recommended interval after we see your roof.

How is roof cleaning priced?

Most residential roof cleaning can be priced instantly online. The price depends on roof size, pitch, material, buildup and access. Packages with gutter-face cleaning or a warranty are priced separately.

Can a tile roof be cleaned without walking on it?

On suitable roofs, yes. A drone can apply the solution from the air for delicate clay and concrete tile. We confirm the method after reviewing the roof.
