Roof Cleaning

Professional Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Those ugly black streaks on your roof aren’t just dirt—they’re actually a type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Left untreated, it can significantly shorten your roof’s lifespan and reduce your home’s curb appeal and value.

Our soft wash roof cleaning uses low-pressure application of professional cleaning solutions to kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root, then gently rinse away years of buildup. The result is a roof that looks years younger and stays clean 2-3 times longer than pressure washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes the black streaks on my roof?

Those black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It’s very common in Georgia’s humid climate and spreads across roofs over time. Our soft wash treatment kills the algae at the root.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?

No, our soft wash method uses low pressure (similar to a garden hose) with specialized cleaning solutions. High-pressure washing can damage shingles, which is why we never use it. Our method is recommended by shingle manufacturers like GAF and Owens Corning.

How long does roof cleaning last?

After our soft wash treatment, your roof typically stays clean for 3-5 years depending on tree coverage and environmental factors. We can apply preventive treatments to extend this further.

Can roof cleaning extend my roof’s life?

Yes! Algae and moss can actually deteriorate shingles over time by holding moisture against them. Removing these organisms and keeping your roof clean can add years to your roof’s lifespan and maintain your home’s curb appeal.
