Roof soft washing in Raleigh, NC

Black streaks are algae, not dirt, so scrubbing will not fix them. The roof gets treated at about garden-hose pressure and the streaks rinse away. Nothing gets stripped or loosened.

Asphalt shingle roof after soft washing in Raleigh, NC

How I do it

  1. Ground prepPlants and beds below the roofline are pre-wet and covered where needed.
  2. Low-pressure treatmentA cleaning solution goes on at about garden-hose pressure. No high pressure touches the shingles.
  3. Streaks rinse awayThe algae breaks down and the streaks wash off.
  4. Gutter facesGutter faces get cleaned while I'm up there.
Custom estimateRoofs are priced individually based on size, pitch, material and how much growth there is.

Questions

Roof cleaning questions.

What are the black streaks on my roof?

Algae. It grows well in Raleigh's humidity, especially on shaded slopes. Because it's living growth and not dirt, it has to be treated, not scrubbed.

Will pressure washing damage my shingles?

High pressure can. That's why roofs get soft washed: the solution goes on at about garden-hose pressure and nothing is blasted off the shingles.

How much does roof cleaning cost?

Every roof gets a custom estimate. Size, pitch, material and the amount of growth all change the price.

How often should a roof be cleaned?

Every two to three years for most roofs here, sooner on heavily shaded ones.

Do you protect the plants below the roof?

Plants and beds are pre-wet before I start, delicate plants are covered where needed, and everything gets rinsed again when I'm done. Keep pets inside until surfaces are rinsed.

Amos just finished power washing our 2 story house. He confirmed the appointment ahead and arrived promptly. I especially appreciate that he wets down our plants before spraying, then rinses them gently afterwards. The house looks fantastic, our 2nd year and highly recommend!
