Roof Washing Helps Your Roof Last Longer
Those dark streaks on your roof aren't dirt. They're living growth: algae, mold, mildew and lichen. They spread across shingles and tile, hold moisture against the roof, and slowly wear it down.
Your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your home
Replacing a roof is one of the biggest bills a homeowner can face. Algae and moss trap moisture and break down roofing materials over time, especially in Florida heat and humidity. Washing that growth off regularly helps your roof reach its full lifespan, so you're not replacing it early.
Black streaks hurt curb appeal
The roof is a huge part of what people see when they look at your house. A streaked, stained roof makes the whole home look older than it is. A clean roof makes the whole house look newer from the street, and buyers and appraisers notice.
It can help keep your home cooler
Dark growth on a roof soaks up more of the Florida sun. A clean roof reflects more of it, which can help take some of the load off your attic and AC.
Tile and shingle safe
We never use high pressure on a roof. High pressure is what cracks tiles and strips the granules off shingles. Our low-pressure soft wash uses a roof-safe solution that kills the growth at the root, then rinses clean. Gutters, walls and landscaping get rinsed too, so nothing is left behind.
How often should you wash your roof?
Most Central Florida roofs look their best with a wash every couple of years, depending on shade and moisture. If you're starting to see streaks, it's time, because the longer growth sits, the deeper it gets.
