Florida’s Trusted Roof Cleaning Experts
Algae, moss, and grime don’t just look bad; they’re actively breaking down your shingles. A professional softwash clean can add years to your roof’s life without any of the damage that pressure washing causes.
Make the Right Decision for Your Roof
Roof Cleaning that Protects Your Shingles, Not Just Your Curb Appeal
In Florida’s heat and humidity, algae, moss, and lichen can take hold fast on your roof, feed on the limestone in your shingles, and accelerate aging in ways you can’t always see from the ground. A professional softwash clean removes all of it without the damage that pressure washing causes. We use a low-pressure softwash method with the right cleaning solutions for Florida’s climate. It’s the only method we’ll use, because high-pressure washing strips granules, voids warranties, and shortens the life of your shingles.
Safe Softwash Method
We don’t use pressure washing. Our low-pressure softwash system applies the right cleaning solution at a safe pressure that won’t strip granules, crack shingles, or push water under your roofing material.
Removes Algae, Moss, Lichen, Staining, and Other Organic Debris
Black streaks, green moss, and grey lichen are all treated at the source. Our cleaning solution kills the underlying organisms and organic debris that cause the growth, so they don’t come straight back.
Safe for Your Landscaping and Family
We take care to protect your plants, lawn, and surrounding areas before we start. The cleaning solutions we use are effective against roofing growth without harming what’s around your home.
Extends the Life of Your Roof
Algae and moss trap moisture against your shingles and break down the materials over time. Removing them regularly is one of the simplest things you can do to get more years out of your existing roof.

What to Expect with Your Service
A Detailed Assessment of Your Roof
Before we touch anything, we take a close look at your roof and the condition of your shingles. Not every roof gets the same treatment.
We identify the type and extent of biological growth
Algae, moss, and lichen each require a slightly different approach. We check what’s on your roof and how far it’s spread so we can apply the right solution at the right strength.
We check shingle condition before we start
If your shingles are already heavily deteriorated, we’ll flag that before doing anything. Cleaning a roof that needs replacing isn’t doing you any favors, and we’d rather tell you up front.
A clear, upfront quote before any work starts
Pricing is based on the size and condition of the roof. You’ll know the cost before we start, and there won’t be anything added on afterward.
Softwash Cleaning Applied Properly from the Ground Up
We use low-pressure application only. No power washing, no roof walking where it can be avoided, and no shortcuts that put your shingles at risk.
Your landscaping and surrounding areas are protected first
Before the cleaning solution goes on, we wet down and cover your plants, gutters, and any sensitive areas around the home. We treat your property with the same care we’d want for our own.
The cleaning solution is applied at low pressure across the full roof
The solution saturates the affected areas and gets to work killing algae, moss, and lichen at the root. It doesn’t just rinse the surface. It treats the growth so it doesn’t come back as quickly.
Rinsing is gentle and controlled
Once the solution has done its job, we rinse thoroughly while still at a low pressure. Your shingles stay intact, your granules stay in place, and there’s no risk of water being forced under flashing or underlayment.
You Get a Clean Roof and a Properly Left Exactly As We Found It
When we’re done, the growth is gone, the staining is lifted, and your roof looks and performs the way it should.
Algae, moss, and staining are fully removed
The black streaking, green patches, and grey lichen growth are gone. In most cases, the results are immediately visible, though some heavy staining may lighten further over the following weeks as residual solution continues to work.
Your property is cleaned up and left as we found it
We rinse down your siding, gutters, and surrounding areas before we leave. Nothing is left behind, and your landscaping is uncovered and rinsed clean.
Regular cleaning extends the life of your roof
Most Florida roofs benefit from a professional clean every 1 to 3 years, depending on the level of shading and moisture around the home. Keeping on top of it is one of the easiest ways to protect your investment and push off a costly replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Roof Cleaning Services
What’s the difference between softwash cleaning and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-force water to blast debris off a surface. On a roof, that strips granules from your shingles, forces water under your roofing material, and can void your manufacturer’s warranty. Softwash uses low pressure combined with the right cleaning solution to kill and remove biological growth without causing any damage. It’s the only method we use, and it’s the industry standard for roof cleaning.
How often does my roof need to be cleaned?
In Florida’s climate, most roofs benefit from a professional cleaning every 1 to 3 years. Roofs with more shade, those near water, or those surrounded by trees tend to accumulate growth faster. If you’re seeing black streaks or green patches forming, it’s time to get it looked at.
Will cleaning my shingles damage them or void my warranty?
Softwash cleaning won’t damage your shingles or void your warranty. In fact, most shingle manufacturers actually recommend softwash as the correct cleaning method and specifically warn against pressure washing. Letting algae and moss go unchecked causes damage over time.
Is softwash cleaning safe for my plants and lawn?
Absolutely! When it’s done properly. We wet down and protect your landscaping before we start, and we rinse everything thoroughly when we’re done. The solutions we use are effective against roof growth without harming the plants and grass around your home.
Can a roof cleaning be combined with a Roof Maxx treatment?
Yes, and we actually recommend it. Cleaning the roof first ensures the Roof Maxx formula can properly penetrate the shingles without any buildup getting in the way. If you’re thinking about a Roof Maxx treatment, getting a softwash clean done at the same time is a smart move.
