Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Roof Cleaning That Removes Black Streaks For Good

Those ugly black streaks are living algae feeding on your shingles. Our shingle-safe soft wash kills it at the source and restores your roof without high pressure.

Protect Your Roof, Extend Its Life

The black streaks running down your roof are caused by a hardy algae called Gloeocapsa magma. Left untreated, it spreads across the shingles, holds moisture, and shortens the lifespan of your roof while making your whole home look aged and neglected.

High-pressure washing is never safe for shingles because it strips away the protective granules. Instead, we use a gentle soft wash treatment recommended by roofing manufacturers that dissolves algae, moss, and lichen and washes it away without any damaging pressure.

A clean roof is not just about looks. Reflective, algae-free shingles help regulate attic temperatures and protect against premature deterioration, saving you thousands on early roof replacement here in Southeast Indiana.

Questions & Answers

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Is soft washing safe for my shingles?

Yes. Soft washing is the method recommended by shingle manufacturers and the roofing industry precisely because it cleans without the high pressure that damages granules.

How long before the black streaks disappear?

Many streaks vanish immediately, while some stubborn areas continue to fade over the following days as the treatment finishes working and rain rinses the shingles.

How long will my roof stay clean?

Results typically last several years. Homes surrounded by trees and heavy shade may see algae return sooner, and we offer maintenance plans to keep it away.

Will the runoff hurt my plants?

We pre-wet, protect, and rinse all surrounding landscaping so your plants and lawn stay healthy during and after the cleaning.
