Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Roof CleaningThat Saves Your Shingles.

Remove black streaks, moss, and algae safely, without stripping a single granule.

Why It Matters

Roof Cleaning
Done Right.

Those ugly black streaks on your roof? That's Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy, airborne algae that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left alone, it doesn't just hurt your curb appeal; it actively shortens the life of your roof by feeding on the shingle itself. Moss is even worse: it holds moisture against the roof deck and wedges shingles apart as it grows.

Pressure washing a roof is a terrible idea. It strips the protective granule layer off asphalt shingles and voids most manufacturer warranties. The correct method is soft washing, applying a specialized cleaning solution at low pressure that kills the algae and moss at the cellular level, then letting gentle rinses and the next rainfall do the rest. It's the same method the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends.

We've cleaned roofs across Denver, Mooresville, Huntersville, Cornelius, Iron Station, and the rest of the Lake Norman area, everything from modest ranches to three-story lakefront homes. Every job is walked, protected, and pressure-tested with our own eyes before we call it done.

Our Process

How We Do It

1

Roof Inspection

We check shingle condition, look for loose flashing, and identify moss and algae concentrations so we can plan access and coverage.

2

Protect Landscaping

Heavy pre-rinse on plants, shrubs, and grass around the drip line so nothing absorbs runoff.

3

Apply Soft-Wash Solution

Low-pressure application from the ridge down. The chemistry does the work, zero scrubbing, zero high-pressure impact.

4

Dwell & Kill

The solution sits long enough to kill algae and moss at the root so they don't grow back in weeks.

5

Gentle Rinse

Final low-pressure rinse cleans everything off without disturbing granules or seals.
