Safe Roof Washing That Protects Your Roof and Your Home

Dark streaks, algae, moss, and buildup on your roof don’t just affect how your home looks — they can shorten the lifespan of your roofing materials if left untreated.

Our professional roof washing services safely remove organic growth and stains using soft washing methods designed to clean without damaging your roof.

​

What Is Roof Washing?

Roof washing is the process of cleaning roofing materials to remove algae, moss, lichen, and environmental buildup. Unlike pressure washing, which can damage shingles, roof washing uses a soft wash system that relies on low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions.

This method cleans effectively while protecting your roof.

​

How Our Roof Washing Process Works

We use a proven, damage-free approach:

 

Step 1: Roof Inspection
We inspect the roof type and condition, identifying problem areas and potential concerns before starting.

 

Step 2: Soft Wash Application
A professional cleaning solution is applied using low pressure to treat algae, moss, and staining.

We’re transparent about our process: sodium hypochlorite (SH) is commonly used in professional roof washing because it kills algae and organic growth at the source. When mixed and applied correctly, it is safe for roofing materials and helps prevent rapid regrowth.

 

Step 3: Dwell Time
The solution is given time to break down buildup and stains.

 

Step 4: Gentle Rinse (When Needed)
In many cases, rain naturally rinses the roof over time. When necessary, a low-pressure rinse is used to complete the process.

 

Why Soft Washing Is the Only Safe Way to Clean a Roof

Pressure washing a roof can:

• Strip protective granules from shingles

• Force water under shingles

• Void manufacturer warranties

• Shorten roof lifespan

Soft washing:

• Protects roofing materials

• Kills algae at the root

• Delivers longer-lasting results

• Maintains manufacturer warranty guidelines

 

Roof Types We Safely Clean

Our roof washing service is suitable for many common roof types, including:

• Asphalt shingle roofs

• Architectural shingles

• Metal roofs

• Tile roofs (with proper assessment)

If you’re unsure about your roof type, we’ll evaluate it before cleaning.

 

Benefits of Professional Roof Washing

Regular roof washing:

• Improves curb appeal

• Extends roof lifespan

• Helps prevent premature replacement

• Removes harmful organic growth

• Maintains your home’s value

Many homeowners don’t realize roof stains are usually algae — not aging shingles.

 

How Often Should a Roof Be Washed?

Most roofs benefit from soft washing every 2–3 years, depending on shade, moisture, and surrounding trees.

Proper treatment slows regrowth and keeps your roof looking clean longer.
