Roof Wash

Those dark streaks on your roof aren’t just unsightly — they’re caused by a hardy algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on your shingles’ limestone filler. Left untreated, this algae (along with moss and lichen) can dramatically shorten your roof’s lifespan.

Our professional roof washing service uses the soft wash method recommended by shingle manufacturers like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. We apply a specialized cleaning solution at low pressure that kills algae, moss, and lichen on contact without damaging your shingles or voiding your warranty.

A clean roof isn’t just about looks — it improves energy efficiency by restoring your shingles’ ability to reflect sunlight, and it can add thousands of dollars to your home’s value.
