Roof Cleaning FAQs

How often should I have my roof professionally cleaned?

Most roofs benefit from cleaning every 18 to 24 months. Homes in humid or heavily shaded areas may need treatment more often to keep algae and moss under control.

No. Softwashing uses low pressure and manufacturer-approved chemical dilution, which is the method most shingle warranties actually require rather than prohibit.

The black streaks are caused by gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and thrives in humid climates like Central Florida.

Most residential roof cleanings take one to two hours, though results continue improving over the following days as remaining algae dies off.

Yes. Removing algae and moss prevents the organic growth from breaking down granules and trapping moisture, which extends shingle life significantly.
