Is roof cleaning safe for my asphalt shingles?

Yes, when done with proper soft wash techniques. We use low pressure (garden hose pressure) and EPA-approved cleaning solutions that safely remove algae without damaging shingles, granules, or roof seals.

Will roof cleaning void my warranty?

No, proper soft wash roof cleaning does not void manufacturer warranties. In fact, many warranties require regular maintenance. We use industry-approved methods that comply with all major shingle manufacturer guidelines.

How long do roof cleaning results last?

Our algaecide treatment typically prevents regrowth for 2-4 years in Jacksonville's climate. Results last much longer than pressure washing alone because we kill algae at the root rather than just removing surface stains.

Can you clean tile or metal roofs?

We can safely clean most tile roofs and some metal roofing. Each material requires specific techniques and solutions. We'll inspect your roof type and condition to determine the safest, most effective approach.

Do you need to walk on my roof?

We minimize roof walking by using ground-based equipment and extension poles whenever possible. When roof access is necessary, we use proper safety equipment and techniques to prevent damage.

What are the black streaks on my roof?

Those are algae stains (Gloeocapsa Magma) that feed on the limestone in your shingles. They're not just cosmetic - they actually damage your roof over time and reduce its lifespan if left untreated.

Roof Cleaning That Makes Jacksonville Homes Look 20 Years Younger

Why Black Streaks Spread Across Jacksonville Roofs

Black streaks cover your roof. Neighbors ask if you need a new roof. Every month the stains spread wider.

What looked like dirt is actually algae eating your shingles. Your home value is dropping. And you're worried cleaning might damage the roof worse than the stains.

Here's the real problem: Jacksonville humidity feeds algae that literally consumes the limestone in your shingles. Every day you wait, it digs deeper. Your roof is aging faster than it should.

Safe Roof Cleaning: You Never Touch Your Roof

We show up with soft wash equipment. Treat from ground level when possible. Kill algae at the root. Restore original color. Handle all runoff protection. You don't climb anything.

Low-pressure application at garden hose strength prevents damage. EPA-approved solutions stop regrowth for 2-4 years. This is our standard approach - not an upgrade. Zero shingle damage or we fix it free.

Perfect for Jacksonville Homeowners

Humidity breeds constant algae growth. Heat accelerates the damage. Coastal air spreads the spores. Your roof needs specialized care.

This works for homeowners selling soon, worried about insurance, or tired of the embarrassment. Extends roof life significantly.

Add house washing or gutter cleaning for complete exterior transformation.

Not for you? Severely damaged shingles or metal roofing? We'll assess first. Some roofs need repair before cleaning.
