What roof cleaning includes
Roof cleaning removes algae, black streaks, moss, lichen, and other buildup from shingles, tile, or metal roofing. Professional roof cleaning uses the soft wash method using low-pressure spray with a specialized algae-killing solution to clear those stains and growths without damaging the roof. That is the core of the service.
The roof cleaning process, step by step
First we do a visual inspection of the roof to identify roof material, visible damage, and areas of heavy buildup. This helps us choose the right treatment and work safely.
Next we prepare the site. We protect landscaping, walkways, and any nearby surfaces that need shielding during the cleaning. Safety and preventing overspray are part of this step.
Then we apply the specialized algae-killing solution. Using the soft wash method using low-pressure spray, the solution is applied so it reaches shingles or tiles and starts breaking down algae, moss, lichen, and those dark streaks. The chemistry is formulated for roofs, and it works while sitting on the surface so the contaminants loosen.
After the solution has had time to work, we perform a gentle low-pressure rinse to remove loosened residue. Because the entire job uses soft washing principles, the cleaning is thorough but gentle on the roofing material. The result is a clean roof surface without aggressive pressure that could harm shingles.
Finally we do a post-cleaning inspection and tidy up the property. We check for any remaining spots, flush runoff away from sensitive areas, and remove larger debris that may have come loose during cleaning. We note any roof issues we observed during the process and can share maintenance recommendations.
