How it works
The soft wash process
-
1
Roof and gutters checked first
The roof gets a look before anything else — shingle condition and streak coverage drive how the solution is applied.
-
2
Solution applied at low pressure
A cleaning solution goes on at low pressure — this is what kills the algae at the surface, not water pressure. No pressure washer ever touches the shingles.
-
3
Solution does the work, then rinses clean
The algae dies off and rinses away with a low-pressure rinse, taking the black streaks with it.

FAQ
Roof cleaning questions
Will pressure washing damage my roof?
Yes, which is why we don't do it. A pressure washer can drive water up under shingles and strip the granules that protect them, and most shingle manufacturers' warranties are voided by pressure washing outright. We soft wash every roof instead — low pressure, the right solution, no damage risk.
What causes the black streaks on my roof?
Algae growth, not just dirt. It spreads across shingles over time, which is why pressure alone doesn't solve it for long — a soft wash kills the algae at the surface instead of just knocking the visible streak off.
How is this different from a regular roof wash?
The method. No-pressure soft washing is the only approach used on shingles here — it's slower than blasting a roof with a pressure washer, but it's the approach that doesn't risk the shingles or the warranty.
