Low pressure, always
Pressure washing a shingle roof strips granules and shortens its life. Everything here is soft washed, which cleans without taking the surface with it.
Roof Cleaning
Roof Cleaning in Tampa Bay
Those black streaks are algae, not age, and they come off. We soft wash shingle and tile roofs at low pressure with a cleaner that kills the growth at the root, so the roof comes back to its own colour instead of being blasted clean.
What You Get
Tile handled as tile
Tile is walked carefully and cleaned differently to shingle. Broken tiles are the usual complaint after a roof clean and they are avoidable.
It kills the algae
Rinsing makes a roof look better for a month. Treating the growth is what keeps the streaking from coming straight back.
Your landscaping is covered
Shrubs and lawn are protected and rinsed as part of the job, not left to take whatever runs off.
How The Job Runs
We look at the roof
We check the material, the pitch and how much growth there is, then quote from what is actually up there.
We protect, then treat
Landscaping is covered, the roof is soft washed with the right mix for the surface, and the growth is treated rather than just rinsed.
We rinse down and check
Everything around the house is rinsed and the roof is walked again to confirm the result before we leave.
Common Questions
Will cleaning damage my shingles?
Not the way we do it. Shingle roofs are soft washed at low pressure. It is high pressure that strips granules, which is exactly why it is not used on a roof.
How long before the streaks come back?
It depends on shade, tree cover and how much moisture sits on that roof. Treating the algae rather than rinsing it is what buys the time, and a north facing roof under trees will always regrow faster than an open one.
Can you clean a tile roof without breaking tiles?
Yes, and it is largely about how the roof is walked. It is the part of the job worth asking any company about before you book.
