Roof Cleaning — Tile, Shingle & Metal

ARMA-recommended soft-wash method. Chemistry only. No spinning surface cleaner, no high-PSI wand — the only safe approach for tile, shingle, and metal.

  • ARMA Method
  • No Pressure on Roofs
  • Licensed & Insured
  • 3–5 Year Kill Expectancy

We solve these symptoms

If any of this sounds like your home, you're in the right place.

  • Black streaks running down tile or shingle
  • Green algae carpet on the north slope
  • Moss tufts along ridge lines
  • Dark spotting on concrete S-tile
  • Visible roof staining from the street
  • HOA notice about roof appearance

What's included

  • Roof walk-around inspection before chemistry
  • Chemistry-only application — no pressure on the roof
  • Full dwell time so the algae dies all the way down
  • Low-volume rinse to keep neighbor screens clean
  • Gutter rinse and downspout flush
  • Date-stamped before/after photos

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Inspect

    Walk the roof or scope from gutter edge to flag cracked or slipped tiles, lifted shingles, and failing flashings before work begins.

  2. Step 2

    Apply

    Soft-wash chemistry sprayed from gutter up — never pressure on a roof, ever.

  3. Step 3

    Dwell

    Let the chemistry kill algae down to the root. Visible color change as the streaks lift.

  4. Step 4

    Rinse

    Low-volume rinse so neighbor screens, cars, and landscaping stay clean.

Why pressure washing a roof is the wrong answer

Florida roofs grow Gloeocapsa magma — the black streak algae — and untreated, it eats granules off shingles and traps heat on tile. A pressure-wash 'cleaning' blasts the surface clean today and exposes weakened material to the next storm. The ARMA-recommended method (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) is soft wash: sodium-hypochlorite chemistry at chemical-only pressure that kills the algae down to the root without disturbing the roof itself.

What 3–5 year kill expectancy really means

A properly done soft wash kills algae roots and slows re-colonization for 3–5 years in most exposures. Shaded north slopes shorten that window; sunny south slopes extend it. We document the dwell time and chemistry on every visit so we can verify the work matches the expected re-clean date — and we never bid against a 'cheaper' wash that uses half-strength chemistry and buys you 8 months.

Frequently asked questions

Will roof cleaning damage my tile or shingles?+

Not when it's done right. Soft wash uses chemistry at chemical-only pressure — the wand pressure is the same as a garden hose. Pressure washing a roof voids most shingle warranties and cracks tile; we never put high pressure on a roof.

How long until the black streaks come back?+

Our typical kill expectancy is 3–5 years depending on canopy shade. If your roof streaks again in under 18 months, the chemistry was either too weak or the dwell time too short. Ask any vendor what their post-treatment expectancy is.

Do I need to be home for the roof wash?+

No. We can work the exterior without you home as long as the side gates are unlocked. We'll text photos when we finish.

Is this safe for my landscaping?+

Yes. We pre-rinse plantings before chemistry and post-rinse after the work is complete. We've never lost a shrub on a roof wash.

Will the HOA accept your work?+

Yes. We provide date-stamped before/after photos formatted to drop into your HOA file. Several PBC communities have us on their preferred-vendor list.

Versailles limestone columns had organic staining for years. Their neutral chemistry pulled it without etching the stone. Other quotes wanted to use acid — glad we didn't.

Quarterly salt-rinse plan for our Frenchman's Creek east elevation. Cheaper than redoing the paint job in 3 years. Smartest hundred-and-something dollars a quarter I spend.

Jupiter Farms barn aisles, run-in shed roofs, RV pad — they cleaned it all on one visit and brought their own water for the well. Will book them every year.

Polo Club tennis-court dust on our house was relentless. Annual cleaning kept it manageable. Sparkle & Shine knew the issue before I described it.

Seven Bridges modern white stucco. They cleaned to the original color, not bleached lighter. Looks even, not patchy.

Ibis driveway had cart-path chemistry residue we couldn't get out. Their surface cleaner with neutral cleaner pulled it. Looks new.
