Whether you’re a homeowner or a commercial property manager, our expert team delivers professional results that improve curb appeal, extend roof life, and protect your investment.
Asphalt Shingle
The most common residential roofing in Upstate SC, shingles trap heat, dirt, and algae. Our soft wash penetrates between shingles to lift stains and destroy organic growth at the root.
Slate & Synthetic
Slate and high-end composite roofs require a delicate balance of pressure and chemical. Our system lifts contaminants without scratching or discoloring the surface.
Clay Tile
Clay tiles are elegant but fragile. We never use high pressure here. Instead, our gentle cleaning and algaecide treatments restore natural color and preserve structural strength.
Other Roofing Materials
Have a different roofing system? No problem. We’ll evaluate and recommend the right solution for a clean, safe result.
Metal Roofing
From aluminum to copper, metal roofs require careful treatment to prevent corrosion and staining. We use specialty formulas safe for metal and tough on organic buildup.
Why Regular Roof Washing Matters
Roof washing isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a vital part of your home’s long-term maintenance. South Carolina humidity and tree cover create the perfect breeding ground for algae, lichen, and mildew. If left untreated, these organisms can degrade your roofing material, increase cooling costs, and reduce your home’s value.
Regular soft washing:
Extends the lifespan of your roof by preventing decay and shingle breakdown
Enhances curb appeal and boosts resale value
Reduces allergens and mold near your home
Improves energy efficiency by eliminating heat-trapping dark stains
Lowers long-term repair costs
Our Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Process
We don’t believe in blasting your roof with pressure. Our soft wash process safely removes even the most stubborn growth:
Inspect and evaluate roof material, slope, and condition
Create a tailored treatment plan with eco-friendly solutions
Apply soft wash solution in sections using low pressure
Let the solution dwell to break down algae and debris
Rinse thoroughly, repeat where needed
Use soft brushes only when necessary
Final rinse and post-inspection to ensure spotless, uniform results
We deliver fast results without cutting corners — because precision is part of the promise.
How Often Should You Clean Your Roof?
We recommend once per year for most Houston homes, or twice yearly for shaded roofs, homes with overhanging trees, or properties with allergy-sensitive occupants. Spring and fall are the best times to eliminate pollen, mildew, and heat-trapping buildup. Not sure what your roof needs? Ask our team for a custom assessment.
How We Price Roof Cleaning
Our pricing is based on your roof’s square footage, pitch, material type, and degree of contamination. We don’t use flat rates or guesswork. Instead, we inspect every roof and provide a detailed, fair quote based on the work required — no hidden fees, no surprises.
