Roof Cleaning & Maintenance
Soft Cleaning for the Roof: A Gentle Yet Effective Approach to Roof Maintenance
Service That Makes Sence.
Unlike our competitors, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all program. Our roof service begins with a free consultation to determine how many if any, treatments need to be completed to get your roof looking amazing again. Our treatments typically require 2-4 treatments to remove build-up that has accumulated over time. If your roof is already in good condition we can start you on a maintenance program, which is done on 8-month cycles.
Soft Washing
Soft washing of a roof provides a deep clean and lowers the risk of damage. This low-pressure cleaning method uses chemicals to remove organic growth, dirt, and grime from a roof's surface. The chemicals we use are eco-friendly and minimally invasive because they are diluted and do not harm the environment. Soft washing can also help prevent future fungal growth by leaving a residue on shingles that inhibits growth. In Florida especially, soft washing is most commonly done in the rainy season.

Inspection and Preparation
- Initial Inspection: A thorough inspection of the roof is conducted to assess its condition and identify areas with heavy dirt, moss, or algae growth.
- Protective Measures: Surrounding plants, landscaping, and any sensitive areas are protected using tarps and other coverings to prevent exposure to the cleaning solutions.
Cleaning Solution Application
- Eco-Friendly Solutions: A biodegradable cleaning solution is applied to the roof using low-pressure sprayers. This solution is designed to kill and loosen the algae, moss, and lichens that commonly grow on roofs.
- Dwell Time: The cleaning solution is allowed to sit on the roof for a specific period, usually 15-30 minutes, to break down the contaminants effectively.
Soft Washing Technique
- Low-Pressure Rinse: The roof is then gently rinsed with water using low-pressure equipment. This method ensures that the roofing materials, such as shingles or tiles, are not damaged by high-pressure washing.
- Stubborn Stains: Any remaining stubborn stains or moss are carefully removed using soft brushes or additional applications of the cleaning solution.
Benefits of Soft Washing
1. Preserves Roof Integrity
Unlike high-pressure washing, soft cleaning does not damage shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials, thereby extending the roof's lifespan.
2. Effective Mold and Algae Removal
The cleaning solutions used are effective at killing mold, algae, and moss at the root level, preventing regrowth and keeping the roof cleaner for longer.
3. Enhances Curb Appeal
A clean roof significantly improves the overall appearance of a home, enhancing its curb appeal and potentially increasing property value.
4. Eco-Friendly
The biodegradable cleaning solutions used are safe for the environment, pets, and surrounding landscaping.
5. Cost-Effective
Regular soft cleaning can prevent the need for costly repairs or premature roof replacements, saving homeowners money in the long run.
