Roof Soft Washing for Tile & Shingle Roofs in South Florida
Black streaks on a roof are algae. We remove them with a low-pressure soft wash that never lifts or breaks tiles and shingles, so the roof looks newer and holds less heat-trapping growth.

What the black streaks are
The dark streaks on South Florida roofs are algae that feeds on the roof surface in humid weather. Over time it spreads, darkens the roof and can hold moisture against tile and shingles.
Why we never pressure wash a roof
High pressure can crack tiles, lift shingles and wash off the granules that protect them. A soft wash applies a cleaning solution at garden-hose-level pressure, lets it kill the growth, then rinses gently.
What to expect
The streaks fade and the roof tone evens out, often over a few days as the treatment finishes working. We protect plants and the area around the house, and we are careful with gutters and valleys.
What we clean
- Concrete and barrel tile roofs

Common Questions
How long does a roof wash last?
It depends on shade and humidity. Many roofs stay clean for a couple of years, and shaded or tree-covered sections may start to streak again sooner.
Is a roof soft wash safe for tiles and shingles?
Yes. That is the reason it is the preferred method. It cleans with a solution, not force.
Do I need to be home?
Not usually. We need access around the house and a working outdoor spigot is helpful. We confirm details when we schedule.
