Soft Roof Washing

What This Service Involves

Soft roof washing relies on cleaning solutions rather than force, making it the safest method for shingle and shake roofs in our damp climate. High pressure can void manufacturer warranties and strip protective granules, so we keep water pressure comparable to a garden hose. Specialized detergents break down algae and moss colonies that thrive in the region's cool, shaded conditions. Your roof is left clean and intact, with the biological growth killed rather than merely knocked loose.

Benefits

Preserves shingle granules and manufacturer warranty coverage; Kills algae and moss at the root for longer-lasting results; Works safely on brittle or older roofing surfaces; Minimizes water intrusion under lifted shingles

Our Process

1) Confirm the roof can be safely walked or accessed from ladders; 2) Mask and pre-wet gutters, siding, and greenery below; 3) Apply the soft wash solution evenly across affected slopes; 4) Let the treatment work and finish with a low-pressure rinse

What Affects the Cost

Roof pitch and safe access points for technicians; Density of the algae and moss infestation; Square footage of the treated surface; Type of detergent required for the roofing material; Height and number of building stories

Best Time of Year

Dry, mild days in summer give the soft wash solution ideal conditions to break down growth completely.
