“WAIT A MINUTE – I thought my roof was meant to last 30+ years?!”
Applied to an already-clean roof, our post-treatment targets remaining organic growth and spores while helping delay future moss and algae regrowth. This approach minimizes chemical runoff and helps keep your roof cleaner longer.
Plant- and pet-friendly treatment options are also available — ask us about them.
Yes- if properly maintained. Algae, moss and lichen shorten the life of asphalt shingles, concrete and terracotta tiles, by trapping moisture and eating away at the surface. Chemical soft washing stops the damage, killing the organic growth and spores before damage gets too extensive and expensive!
What your seeing is algae, moss and lichen.
They spread on airborne spores (the same ones responsible for allergies) and thrive in damp, shaded areas particularly on the North side of your roof (Where there is less direct sunlight).
That’s why, even without foliage on your roof, it can still be affected. Leading to damage if left untreated. Even if you’re home is newly built, it would benefit from a preventative soft-wash treatment.
Roofing materials are meant to SHED water, not to retain moisture. Natural growth holds moisture against the roofs surface, causing the materials to weaken, rot and fail prematurely, leading to a compromised leaky roof.
Our roofs have no shelter, they are the shelter! Sadly, most people don’t think about their roof until they feel it raining, inside their house. By then, you’ll have to look for roofers and carpenters instead of us. Regular upkeep is smarter than costly repairs. Our roofs need love too! And we are here to give your roofs the attention & lovin they deserve!
We get it. DIY can be tempting, but roof cleaning isn’t like washing your driveway. Between the steep pitch, slippery surfaces and potent cleaning solutions. One wrong step could send you sliding into the emergency room. It’s just not worth the risk.
As professionals, we bring the right equipment, the right techniques, and most importantly, the right experience, to safely clean your roof without damaging tiles, stripping protective coatings or harming your landscape.
Plus, we know what to look for. Roofs often show early signs of wear or damage that the average homeowner won’t notice until it’s too late and the repair bill’s doubled. So you’re not just paying for a clean roof, you’re investing in Peace of Mind.
If climbing on your roof with chemicals and pressure equipment, sounds like a weekend you’d rather not have. Let us handle it. We’re fast, careful and fully insured.
A full soft wash is usually only needed every 3-5 years.
However, the key is in the maintenance and that’s where our post treatment comes in.
We recommend a quick inspection along with a maintenance application every 2-5 years in order to prevents moss, mold and algae from coming back.
The exact frequency of your roofs maintenance depends on your home/businesses surrounding environment.
We can spot treat reoccurring growth and with Occasional checkups and light maintenance, you can go years between full cleanings. That is, if you need and 2nd at all!
Think of it like dental care for your teeth. Deep cleaning now, regular checkups later.
Roof washing can improve energy efficiency. A clean roof may better reflect sunlight reducing heat absorption. and potentially lowering cooling costs. However, As temperatures and energy costs rise. Perhaps a highly solar reflective, Antimicrobial roof coating may be what you’re really looking for.
Sodium hypocloride does have the potential to damage sourrounding trees and plans. Note the steps we take to avoid these potential issues
When using sodium Hypoclorite we:
CONTROLLED PRESSURE WASHING – Uses carefully regulated pressure to physically remove stubborn, dirt, buildup, and surface contaminants, restoring the roof’s visible appearance.
SOFT WASHING – Uses low pressure and cleaning solutions to treat organic growth. The treated growth is then left to gradually weather and rinse away over time.
Treatment address the growth, Controlled pressure washing removes the buildup.
Not when it’s done right.
We inspect every roof before starting and use the safest method for your specific roof.
Yes, we clean tile. asphalt shingles, metal, concrete and more. Every roof get a pre-inspection to determine the safest, most effective method and chemical mix, if one is to be used.
Way Less than a new roof!
But Seriously, it depends on varying factors, such as the, size steepness, conditions.
If you give us a call , we can come out for a free inspection and give you a specific price.
Mild weather is ideal, but we work year-round. On hot days we adjust techniques to avoid drying streaks or chemical flash. In colder weather, we monitor temperatures to ensure safe application and results.
We’ll never clean your roof in conditions that compromise quality.
You can jump right into our post-treatment so that the spores you dont see now, dont grow into unsighlty moss algea and mold
Many now use drones and satellite imagery to asses roof condition. Neglected roofs can lead to increased premiums - or dropped coverage altogether.
Clean roofs increase, curb appeal, percieved value; up to 7% and speed up sale time. we serve many realtors and property managers
roofs are replaced years early due to neglect. costing 10-30x more than cleaning. Cleaning extends roof life 5-10+ years.
spreading algae can cover up the cells in your panels, leading to "micro shading", like a traffic jam, reducing panel efficiency by 15%-20%
Gloeocapsa Magma feeds on the limestone in your shingles. breaking down their integrity, holding moisture and shortening their lifespan
Dark Algea streaks absorb sunlight, raising your roof's temperature. That heat transfers into the attic & drives up already rising energy costs.
A clean roof. it shows care and avoids unnecessary write-ups or delays
Mold & mildew growing on your roof don't always stay put. spores can make their way into vents attics and living areas. regular Maintenance keeps your home clean inside and out
