The Hidden Threat

Why Your Roof Needs Cleaning

Those black streaks aren't just cosmetic — they're living organisms eating away at your roof.

Gloeocapsa Magma Algae

Those black streaks spreading across your roof are actually a hardy, airborne cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it accelerates granule loss and shingle deterioration.

Moisture Retention & Rot

Moss and heavy organic buildup trap moisture against your shingles for days after rain, leading to wood rot in the roof decking, lifted shingles, and eventually interior water damage.

Lower Energy Bills

A dark, algae-covered roof absorbs significantly more solar heat than a clean, reflective one. Removing black streaks can reduce your attic temperature by up to 20°F and lower cooling costs in summer.

Curb Appeal & Property Value

Dark roof stains can make even a well-maintained home look neglected. A clean roof instantly boosts curb appeal and can be the difference in a home appraisal or sale.

Roof Services

Complete Roof Care Packages

From shingles to gutters, we provide comprehensive roof cleaning tailored to your home.

"Doghouse Hat" Soft Wash

Our signature low-pressure soft wash treatment removes 100% of black streaks, moss, lichen, and algae from asphalt shingles, clay tile, slate, and metal roofs. We apply a biodegradable algaecide that kills spores at the root, keeping your roof clean for 3–5 years.

Estimated Price: From $0.22/sqft

"No Clog Zone" Gutter Flush

Clogged gutters lead to overflowing water, fascia board rot, and foundation erosion. We manually clear all debris, flush downspouts, and inspect for loose brackets. Optional gutter brightening removes oxidation and black streaks from exterior gutter faces.

Estimated Price: From $150 (avg home)

"Full Doghouse" Roof + Gutter Bundle

The complete roof-care package: full soft wash treatment for the entire roof surface plus thorough gutter clearing, downspout flushing, and exterior gutter brightening. Our most popular and cost-effective option — save compared to booking separately.

How We Clean

The Safe Wash Process

No pressure washers on your roof — ever. Here's our proven 5-step soft wash method.

1

Pre-Inspection & Prep

We inspect shingle condition, identify problem areas, and pre-wet all surrounding landscaping, garden beds, and grass to protect root systems.

2

Apply Biodegradable Cleaner

We spray a pet-safe, 100% biodegradable sodium percarbonate-based solution that breaks down algae, moss, and lichen on contact — no bleach, no phosphates.

3

Gentle Dwell Time

The solution is allowed to dwell and work its magic for 15–20 minutes. Foaming surfactants hold the cleaner in place on steep pitches so nothing runs off prematurely.

4

Low-Pressure Rinse

We rinse at garden-hose pressure (under 300 PSI) flowing down the roof slope to avoid lifting shingles. Embedded stains, black streaks, and moss rinse away effortlessly.

5

Post-Clean Inspection

We double-rinse all plants and walkways, inspect gutter flow, and provide before/after photos. Waffles himself digitally stamps the inspection report!

Common Questions

Roof Cleaning FAQ

Everything homeowners ask about professional roof soft washing.

Is pressure washing safe for my roof?

Never! We do not use high-pressure washing on any roof surface. High pressure (2,000+ PSI) will blast the protective granules off asphalt shingles, void your roof warranty, and cause immediate damage. We exclusively use soft washing — applying biodegradable cleaning solutions at under 300 PSI (garden-hose pressure) to kill and remove algae, moss, and lichen safely.

How often should I have my roof cleaned?

Most roofs need professional soft washing every 3 to 5 years. Factors that accelerate regrowth include heavy tree canopy shade, humid climates, north-facing roof slopes, and proximity to bodies of water. Our algaecide treatment includes a residual inhibitor that slows regrowth, keeping your roof cleaner longer than bleach-based alternatives.

Are the chemicals safe for my garden and pets?

Absolutely. We use sodium percarbonate-based cleaners — the same active ingredient in OxiClean — not bleach or sodium hypochlorite. Before we begin, we pre-wet all surrounding landscaping, cover delicate plants, and bag downspout outlets to capture runoff. After cleaning, we perform a double fresh-water rinse of all vegetation, walkways, and patios. Your pets can safely return to the yard the same day.

Will cleaning my roof save me money on energy bills?

Yes! A black, algae-covered roof absorbs significantly more solar radiation than a clean, light-colored one. Independent studies have shown clean reflective roofs can reduce attic temperatures by 15–20°F, lowering summer air conditioning loads by 10–15%. A roof cleaning often pays for itself within 2–3 cooling seasons through reduced energy costs.

Can you clean metal, tile, or slate roofs too?

We clean all roof types: asphalt/fiberglass shingles, architectural shingles, clay and concrete tile, natural slate, cedar shake, and standing-seam metal. Each material gets a custom detergent mix and application method. Tile and metal roofs often respond even better to soft washing since the smooth surface makes it harder for algae to grip once cleaned.

Do you also clean gutters as part of roof service?

Yes! We offer gutter cleaning as both a standalone service and as part of our "Full Doghouse" Roof + Gutter Bundle (at a 10% discount). During a roof soft wash, we naturally flush loosened debris from the roof surface. Adding a full gutter cleaning ensures your entire roof drainage system is operating at peak performance.

What Our Roof Clients Say

Real reviews from homeowners who trusted us with their roof cleaning.

"I thought my 15-year-old roof needed replacing — the black streaks were so bad I had three contractors quote me for a tear-off. Paw-fect came out and showed me it was just algae. One soft wash later, my roof looks brand new. Saved me $12,000!"

"They cleaned our roof and gutters in one visit. The crew took before/after photos from every angle and even showed me how clogged my downspouts were. My attic is noticeably cooler this summer and our energy bill is down. Highly recommend the bundle package!"

Owner of Luna (Husky)

"I was worried about chemicals since I have an organic vegetable garden right next to the house. The crew covered everything, bagged the downspouts, and rinsed my garden beds twice. Not a single tomato plant was harmed and my roof looks fantastic!"
