Roof Soft-Wash
In Florida's heat and humidity, roofs grow black streaks, algae, and mildew fast — and high pressure can crack tiles, strip granules off shingles, and even void your warranty. We soft-wash instead: low pressure plus professional detergents that clean the roof and kill the growth at the root, so it looks new and stays clean far longer.
How we do it
Soft washing is the method roofing manufacturers actually recommend. We apply a specialized, biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure — never the high pressure that damages a roof — to break down the algae (Gloeocapsa magma, the cause of those black streaks), mold, and mildew. We work from the ground, so no one walks on your roof, and we protect your landscaping and rinse everything down when we're finished. Because it kills the organisms at the root instead of just blasting the surface, a soft-wash lasts far longer than pressure washing.

Why it matters
Left alone, roof algae eats into shingles and can shorten your roof's life — and many HOAs require roofs be kept clean. A soft-wash restores curb appeal, protects the investment you've made, and keeps you compliant. In South Florida's climate, most roofs benefit from a soft-wash every one to three years.

Frequently asked questions
Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes — it's the safe method. High pressure can crack tiles and strip the protective granules off shingles (and void warranties). Soft washing uses low pressure and detergents, which is exactly what roofing manufacturers recommend.
Does anyone walk on my roof?
No. We soft-wash from the ground — safer for your roof and for our crew — so no one is up on top of your home.
How long does it last?
Because a soft-wash kills the algae and mold at the root rather than just rinsing it, results last much longer than pressure washing — usually a couple of years before you'd need it again.
How often should a Florida roof be cleaned?
Most South Florida roofs benefit from a soft-wash every one to three years, depending on shade, nearby trees, and exposure.
