Low-Pressure Roof Cleaning

Roof Cleaning in Middle Georgia

Those dark streaks running down your shingles aren't dirt — they're algae. Our heat and humidity let it spread quickly. Roofs should be cleaned gently, never blasted.

Roof Cleaning

Why roofs need a soft wash, not a pressure wash

The black streaks common on Georgia roofs are typically caused by algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Moss and lichen can follow, especially under trees.

High pressure can strip the protective granules off shingles and shorten the life of your roof. We use a low-pressure soft wash: a cleaning solution applied gently, allowed to work, and rinsed — removing the growth without scouring the surface.

Our Process

How we handle roof cleaning

  1. 01

    Roof assessment

    We look at roof type, pitch and condition, and flag anything we see that may need a roofer.

  2. 02

    Protect the property

    Landscaping is pre-wet and downspouts are managed to control runoff.

  3. 03

    Soft wash application

    A cleaning solution is applied at low pressure — no blasting, no walking on fragile areas unnecessarily.

  4. 04

    Rinse & clean-up

    Gutters, siding and plants below are rinsed so nothing is left behind.
