Softwash roof cleaning

Professional roof cleaning that protects your investment.

Unlike pressure washers or harsh chemicals that can damage your shingles, our low-pressure softwash removes common growths like algae, moss, and lichen without stripping granules or voiding your warranty.

  • A safe softwash method→

    We never pressure wash. Our low-pressure methods and appropriate cleaning products avoid damaging your shingles or pushing water under your roof.

  • Remove algae, moss, and lichen at the root→

    Our solution kills the organisms that cause unwanted growth so that it can't come straight back and keep threatening your shingles.

  • Safe for your landscaping and family→

    We cover your plants, lawn, and surrounding areas before we start, and use cleaning solutions that are formulated to break down safely in the environment.

  • Extend the lifespan of your existing roof for years→

    Algae and moss trap moisture against your shingles, wearing them out faster. Removing them regularly is one of the simplest ways to extend your roof's life.

High-pressure washing strips granules, forces water under your shingles, and can void their warranty. Our softwash uses low pressure and an appropriate cleaning solution to clean your roof without damage.

Most shingle manufacturers recommend softwash and warn against pressure washing.

How our process works

What to expect when you call Shingle Saver

Step 1
Roofer inspecting moss growth on shingles

A detailed assessment of your roof

We identify the condition of your shingles, including how much growth or grime has collected on them. If it looks like your roof needs more than cleaning, we’ll tell you up front and provide a clear quote.

Step 2
Technician softwashing a shingle roof

Appropriate cleaning products applied by professionals

Our low-pressure application method avoids the shingle damage and granule loss that pressure washing can cause, and the cleaning solutions we use are formulated to break down efficiently instead of remaining in your environment.

Step 3
Worker rinsing landscaping beside a house

A clean roof and a tidy property

We don’t leave until the growth and stains on your roof are gone and we’ve rinsed down your siding and gutters. Our goal is to leave your property looking better than we found it.

CLEANING VS. REPLACEMENT

A roof with growth or debris doesn’t usually need to be replaced

Moss, black streaks, and built-up debris can make a roof look like it’s at the end of its life. Some contractors will recommend replacing it on that basis alone, even when the shingles underneath aren’t damaged.

That’s why we start by cleaning. A clean roof shows us what’s really going on, so we can tell you exactly what your shingles need.

Repair

Growth and debris can hide problems. Once they’re gone, missing shingles, nail-pops, or loose flashing are easy to spot and can usually be repaired.

Restore

If your shingles are aging but still structurally sound, a Roof Maxx treatment after cleaning can extend their usable lifespan for a fraction of what a new roof costs.

Replace

We’ll only recommend replacement if your shingles have deteriorated to the point where there’s no better option. Our replacements come with a labor warranty for up to 20 years, plus 2 years at 0% interest.

You’ll get photos of your own roof and a written assessment, free. The decision stays yours.

…you need to have it checked before you spend thousands on a new roof. I thought I needed one but after Scott inspected it I only needed a couple of repairs to the shingles. It only took 2 hours and it is beautiful!

Scott and his wife were wonderful to work with… This seemed like the perfect solution for a retired couple not in the position to purchase a new roof. We now have peace of mind this roof will probably outlast us!

We were in need of a new roof, our house was on the market so we had a timeline. Scott and Team at Roof Maxx knew that and at peak season was able to make our stressful situation into one of the BEST experiences we ever had with a business.

Roof cleaning questions we hear every week

Why do I need to clean growth off my shingles?

Because the damage happens slowly, for as long as the growth stays on your roof. Moss holds moisture against your shingles and works its way under their edges, lifting them and loosening the granules that protect them from the sun. Over a few years, that leaves shingles brittle, exposed, and more likely to leak. Algae streaks are mostly a cosmetic problem on their own, but they thrive in the same damp, shaded spots where moss takes hold, so they’re a good sign it’s time to have your roof cleaned before real damage starts.

What's the difference between softwash cleaning and pressure washing?

Pressure washing blasts debris off with high-force water, which strips granules, forces water under roofing materials, and can void your shingle warranty. Softwash uses low pressure and an appropriate cleaning solution to kill and remove growth without damage. It’s the only method we use to clean your roof, so you can count on service that won’t damage your shingles.

How often does my roof need to be cleaned?

In Florida’s climate, most roofs benefit from a professional clean every 1 to 3 years. Roofs with more shade, near standing bodies of water, or surrounded by trees can sometimes collect growth and debris faster. If you’re seeing black streaks or green patches on your shingles, it’s probably time to call a professional.

Will cleaning damage my shingles or void my warranty?

Our softwash cleaning won’t damage your shingles or void your warranty. This is the method most shingle manufacturers recommend instead of pressure washing.

Is softwash cleaning safe for my plants and lawn?

Yes. When softwash cleaning is done properly, it is one of the safest ways to clean your roof. Our team takes steps to wet and cover surrounding plants before we start, as well as covering any other landscaping features. Then we rinse everything when we’re done to make sure no residual cleaning solution is unnecessarily left behind.

How can I protect my shingles after cleaning them?

Once your shingles are clean, Roof Maxx maintenance can help them last for years longer by replenishing the natural oils they have lost over time and restoring their flexibility. The solution we use during the Roof Maxx process also contains a natural fungicide that can prevent new growth from forming. Cleaning your shingles first removes any buildup that currently exists and makes it easier for this all-natural formula to soak into your shingles.
