Roof Soft Washing in Brunswick, GA

Those black streaks running down Georgia roofs are gloeocapsa algae, not wear or dirt. Pressure washing a shingle roof tears the granules off and voids the manufacturer warranty, which is why we never do it. Roof soft washing applies a specialized roof-cleaner mix at very low pressure, lets it dwell, and rinses the streaks away. The roof dries back to its original color and the treatment keeps algae from returning for up to two years.

Why it matters

What roof soft washing gets you

Protects your shingle warranty

Manufacturers specify low-pressure cleaning. Soft washing follows their guidance so your warranty stays intact.

Restores the original color

Black streaks lift out of asphalt shingles and clay tile alike, leaving the roof looking new again.

Long-lasting results

A treated roof stays clean for 18 to 24 months, longer than any pressure rinse.

Cuts attic heat

A clean light-colored roof reflects more sun, which can lower the temperature in your attic and your cooling bill.

FAQ

Roof Soft Washing questions answered

Yes. High pressure tears the ceramic granules off asphalt shingles, which shortens the roof's life and voids the warranty. That is why every reputable roof cleaner uses low-pressure soft washing instead. We never pressure wash a roof.

On a typical Brunswick home the roof stays clean for 18 to 24 months. Heavily shaded roofs over the marsh may need a touch-up sooner. We can set up a maintenance plan to keep it clean year-round.

They are gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in modern shingles. It spreads down the roof with rain runoff. It is not damage, but it does shorten the roof's life if left alone.

The roof-specific mix is stronger than house wash but is fully rinsed and diluted by the time it reaches the ground. We protect plants and pets and rinse everything down before we leave.
