Why We Never Use High Pressure on Roofs
Your roof shingles are coated with tiny granules that serve as their primary protection against UV rays, rain, and weather damage. High-pressure washing blows these protective granules right off the shingle, severely shortening its lifespan and causing irreversible damage. That is why we exclusively use a soft wash method — low-pressure water combined with professional-grade cleaners and algaecides that safely dissolve and kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root without disturbing a single granule.
What Causes Those Black Streaks?
The dark streaks you see running down roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are caused by a type of blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma. This algae feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and spreads across your roof over time. Left untreated, it retains moisture against your shingles, promotes moss and lichen growth, and accelerates deterioration. Our soft wash treatment kills this algae completely and prevents regrowth for an extended period.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
Step 1: Inspection
We thoroughly inspect your roof to assess the type and extent of algae, moss, or lichen growth and identify any areas that need special attention.
Step 2: Protection
We protect your landscaping, outdoor furniture, and surrounding areas before beginning the cleaning process.
Step 3: Soft Wash Application
Our proprietary cleaning solution is applied at low pressure, penetrating and killing algae, moss, and lichen at the root without damaging shingles.
Step 4: Rinse & Results
A gentle low-pressure rinse removes the treated growth, revealing a clean, like-new roof. Results are often immediate and dramatic.
