Roof Cleaning

Roof Cleaning Without Pressure

Those black streaks running down an asphalt roof are algae, and they hold heat and moisture against shingles that are already the most weather-beaten thing on the house.

How We Approach It

Pressure washing a roof takes years off it

A pressure washer strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles, and once those are gone they do not come back. So we do not use one on a roof, ever. Roofs get soft washed with a cleaning solution applied at low pressure, left to work, then rinsed. It kills the algae at the root rather than scouring it off, and it leaves the shingle surface exactly as it was.

  • Low pressure application only, never a pressure washer
  • Kills the algae rather than scouring the granules off
  • Gutters and downspouts flushed afterwards so runoff clears
  • Landscaping below saturated before and rinsed after

★★★★★

"Had the house and the gutters done before a family party. They turned up when they said they would, the green streaks down the north side are just gone, and they rinsed everything down before they left. Price was what they quoted on the phone."

Megan R., Granger, IN
★★★★★

"Our driveway had not been touched in about eight years. No stripes, no zebra marks, just even concrete edge to edge. Already booked them for the deck in the spring."

Dave K., Berrien Springs, MI
★★★★★

"Second year using Pura for the windows, inside and out. Same two guys both times, careful around the landscaping, and there is not a single spot on the glass afterwards."

Frequently Asked Questions

Pressure blasts the protective granules off asphalt shingles, which shortens the life of the roof and voids most shingle warranties. Soft washing gets the same visible result without doing that.

Algae, usually gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, which is why it spreads downward in streaks and keeps coming back if it is only rinsed off.

Not if the job is planned for it. Everything underneath gets soaked with clean water before we start, kept wet, and rinsed thoroughly afterwards.
