Black streaks, stains and moss are not only ugly but can potentially shorten the life of your asphalt shingle roof. The good news is that for a small fraction of the cost of replacement, your roof can be cleaned and restored to a like new appearance by our soft wash roof cleaning process.

Our roof cleaning system is the only one recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). ARMA cautions homeowners and contractors to NEVER allow pressure washing equipment to be used to clean shingle roofs. Pressure washing loosens and removes the protective ceramic granules on the surface of the shingles that reflect heat and protect the shingle composition.
