How is this service performed?

A soft wash roof cleaning to remove gloeocapsa magma (black streaks) on shingles, kill moss growth, lichen, and remove debris from roof.


The roof will be cleaned using low pressure and a mixture of bleach, surfactant and water. This cleaning method is recommended by “ARMA” (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) due to being the safest way to clean the shingles without prematurely removing the granules from the roof.


This cleaning will prolong the life of the roof and also increase curb appeal.


*Moss and lichen will not be fully removed from the roof after a cleaning, but will turn white and detach from the shingles naturally with the wind and rain in the coming weeks. This is the safest way of removal to ensure the granules on the roof remain intact.

  • Q: Why is it important to get my roof cleaned?

    A: Getting your roof cleaned is one of the most important things you can do when it come to preventative exterior maintenance.


    Have you ever noticed those ugly black streaks on your roof? That is an algae called Gleocapsa magma. This is an airborne pathogen that is carried by the wind. Amazingly enough, it actually feeds on the limestone in your shingles (the limestone in your shingles is used to help add weight and help prevent you from losing shingles during a heavy wind or storm). The longer this algae stays on your roof the faster your roof will deteriorate, taking years off of its life. These black streaks can also raise energy costs as they soak in the suns rays, causing your home to be more difficult to cool down.


    You may also notice green moss growing on your roof, leaves and pine needles untouched, and trees branches overgrown, allowing moisture to constantly dwell on your roof. All of these will also aid in premature roof failure and are very important to be maintained.

  • Q: How often should I get my roof cleaned?

    A: As with house cleaning, the amount of time between roof cleanings will largely depend on the amount of moisture and shade your roof receives. A typical roof cleaning should last 3-5 years, helping to extend the life of your roof, saving you thousands down the road.

  • Q: How will my roof be cleaned?

    A: Roof cleaning with be done using the same mixture as used on your home. The only difference being that the mix used on your roof will be much stronger, helping to fully vanquish all of those ugly and harmful roof stains.  Soft washing with bleach is the recommended way to clean roofing by the Asphalt Roofing Manufactures Association.  


    One story homes will usually be cleaned by physically getting up on the roof and using all low pressure cleaning methods. While second story roofing will be cleaned from a ladder.
