Roof Cleaning & Soft Washing

Remove black streaks, algae, moss, and lichen with a gentle soft wash — never high-pressure washing that can strip granules and shorten shingle life.

Why Houston Roofs Get Those Black Streaks

Those black streaks on Houston-area roofs are usually a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma that thrives in our humidity and feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it spreads, holds moisture against the roof deck, and can shorten the life of your shingles. High-pressure washing makes it worse by stripping protective granules — which is exactly why we never use it on a roof.

How It Works

Roof Inspection

We check the roofline for algae, moss, lichen, and problem drainage areas before starting.

Soft Wash Application

A roof-safe cleaning solution is applied at low pressure to break down growth at the root.

Dwell & Treat

The solution dwells long enough to kill algae and moss spores, preventing quick regrowth.

Low-Pressure Rinse

A gentle rinse clears away residue, leaving your roof clean without a single stripped granule.

Roof Cleaning FAQ

How do you clean roofs?
We use a gentle soft washing process to clean roofs — never high-pressure washing, which can damage shingles. Our low-pressure treatment removes black streaks, algae, moss, and lichen safely and effectively, extending the life of your roof.
Will soft washing void my shingle warranty?
No — most shingle manufacturers explicitly recommend against high-pressure washing and consider soft washing the safe, approved method for roof cleaning.
How long do the results last?
Typically 2-4 years depending on shade, tree cover, and how much moisture your roof holds. We can set up a maintenance schedule if you'd rather not think about it.
Do your techs walk all over my roof?
We minimize roof foot traffic, applying and rinsing most of the treatment from a ladder or extension wand to protect your shingles and gutters.
