what’s right for your property?

Soft-wash treatment vs. scraping vs. pressure

The safest approach is treatment-first: kill growth and spores, then allow weathering to release dead material. Limited gentle agitation is used where needed. We never high-pressure wash shingles, which can strip granules and void warranties.

Treatment-first = kill, neutralize, prevent

Gentle agitation = spot lift without damage

No pressure washing on shingles—EVER

Some Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't See the answer to your question? Head over to our FAQ page and take a look or reach out to us and one of our Roof Cleaning Specialists will get in touch with you shortly.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?

No. We use shingle-safe soft-wash solutions and gentle techniques—no high pressure—so granules and coatings stay intact.

How long until my roof looks clean?

Active growth dies quickly; dead material releases over weeks with rain and sun. Heavy mats may take longer. this is the safest method.

Do you treat lichen and black streaks (algae)?

Yes. Our chemistry targets Gloeocapsa magma (black streaks), moss, and lichen, then we apply a preventative to slow regrowth.

Do you need to walk on the roof?

Sometimes. We use proper fall protection and minimize foot traffic to protect shingles, flashing, and vents.

Do you clean gutters after roof work?

Yes—we clear loose debris and can flush downspouts so runoff flows freely.

Can you work in light rain?

Light rain is fine; severe weather triggers a safety-first reschedule.
