Gentle low-pressure soft washing safely removes algae, moss, and dark streaks from shingle, tile, metal, and clay roofs — extending your roof's life without voiding your warranty.
Those black streaks on your roof aren't just dirt — they're living Gloeocapsa magma algae eating away at your shingles. Left alone, they shorten roof life by 5-10 years. The good news: soft washing removes them completely, and prevents them from coming back for 3-5 years.
We use the ARMA-approved soft wash method — the only technique endorsed by shingle manufacturers. Pressure washing a roof strips granules and voids most warranties. Our soft wash uses low pressure (below 60 PSI) with a specialized cleaning solution that kills the algae at the root without touching your shingles.
Every job includes a full property protection setup — plants pre-rinsed and covered, gutters checked, downspouts bagged. We treat your landscaping like our own.

Final Result
If you're seeing any of these, it's time to book — waiting only makes staining harder to remove.
Those dark streaks are live algae — Gloeocapsa magma. It literally eats shingle granules over time.
Moss holds moisture against shingles, accelerating deterioration. It also lifts shingle edges, letting water in.
Lichen growth. It bonds tightly to shingles and requires professional soft wash to remove without damage.
If you see dark stains dripping down your siding, algae runoff from the roof is the source.
Algae spreads by spores. If neighboring roofs are clean and yours isn't, yours will get worse faster.
In Florida's humid climate, most roofs benefit from soft washing every 3-5 years to prevent premature aging.
