Roof cleaning that actually protects your roof

If your shingles, tile, or metal roof is showing algae, black streaks, moss, lichen, or other buildup, professional roof cleaning removes those problems safely and effectively. We use soft washing at very low-pressure methods so the roof is cleaned without harsh pressure that can shorten roof life. That means a clean roof without risking damaged shingles or tile.

What we do and why it matters

  • Inspection first: every roof is inspected by an in-house certified residential roof inspector before cleaning. That helps us spot vulnerable areas and tailor the service to your roof type.
  • Gentle, effective cleaning: we remove algae, black streaks, moss, lichen, and buildup using professional soft wash techniques. This restores curb appeal and helps prevent premature deterioration.
  • Safe for your roof: soft washing at very low-pressure methods cleans without the harsh force that can strip granules, loosen shingles, or damage roofing materials.

Signs your roof needs attention

  • Dark streaks or widespread algae
  • Patches of moss or lichen growth
  • Noticeably reduced curb appeal
  • Areas where runoff is carrying discolored water onto gutters or siding
