Roof soft wash · Hoschton, GA
Roof soft washing targets algae, black streaks and organic buildup on asphalt-shingle roofs. Our existing project gallery documents before-and-after results across the Atlanta area.

The problem · Georgia humidity & shade
We treat algae, black streaks and organic buildup on asphalt-shingle roofs using low-pressure application rather than high-pressure washing.
Low-pressure roof cleaning for algae, black streaks and organic buildup
These signs are a reason to request a roof-specific assessment:
✓ You see black streaks or dark staining on shingles ✓ Your home has shade or tree cover ✓ Your roof looks older than it actually is ✓ You want to discuss cleaning before considering replacement ✓ You have questions about manufacturer cleaning instructions and warranty termsAppearance alone does not diagnose the roof’s condition. We clean surfaces — we do not repair or fix existing damage.
Our roof soft wash is a full exterior cleaning and treatment, not a partial surface clean.
✓ Full roof soft wash (asphalt shingle roofs) ✓ Pre-treatment and post-rinse of surrounding landscaping ✓ Exterior gutter rinse (as needed from roof runoff) ✓ Targeted application to high-growth areasExterior gutter rinsing does not include interior cleanouts or unclogging.
How it works
We use a hybrid soft washing method — combining low-pressure application with targeted rinsing — tailored to the surface being cleaned.
01All landscaping is pre-wet and neutralized before any cleaning solution is applied.
02All windows and doors are pre-rinsed to protect glass and seals.
03We evaluate roof pitch, shingle condition, shade patterns, and growth severity.
04A roof-appropriate cleaning solution is applied using low pressure, with the roof material and manufacturer guidance taken into account.
05The solution is allowed to dwell long enough to kill algae at the root, not just lighten stains.
06All landscaping is rinsed again as part of the protection process.
07Windows, doors, and landscaping are re-rinsed to leave the property clean and protected.
Treatment targets
Roof soft washing targets organic growth at the root, not just surface discoloration.
✓ Gloeocapsa magma (black algae) ✓ Moss & lichen growth ✓ Organic staining ✓ Environmental buildup from humidity & shadeWe target organic growth rather than surface discoloration alone. Results and release time vary by roof condition and the growth present.
We clean surfaces — we do not repair or fix existing damage.
Low-pressure roof cleaning
Unsuitable high pressure can strip granules, force water under shingles, damage roofing and conflict with manufacturer warranty terms. Low-pressure application treats organic buildup without using aggressive roof pressure washing.
Cleaning is not a roofing inspection. Existing damage, material compatibility and manufacturer instructions must be reviewed.
3-year new-algae guaranteeEvery full roof soft wash includes the formal guarantee against any new algae growth.
Local roof care
Our methods are tailored to Georgia’s humidity, shade patterns, and organic growth cycles — not generic national cleaning playbooks.
Moisture can support organic growth on roof surfaces.
Shade and retained moisture affect the conditions around your roof.
North-facing or shaded areas can need closer assessment.
Streaking is a reason to review the roof, rather than assume it is dirt.
