Roof Washing across the Triangle and Johnston County

We remove the black streaks and moss from your Triangle-area roof with a gentle soft wash, no pounding.

♀ Woman-Owned★ 4.9 · 213 reviewsLicensed & InsuredSince 2010

Those black streaks are algae eating the limestone in your shingles. Pressure washing a roof strips granules and voids warranties. We soft wash instead, so the growth dies and your roof stays whole.

A roof is the last place you want high pressure. We apply a low-pressure treatment that kills the algae and moss on Triangle-area roofs and rinses clean, which is the method shingle makers actually approve.

The streaks are not dirt and they will not rinse off. They are a living colony feeding on the shingle. That is why they come back after every rain and why they keep spreading. Killing the growth is the only fix that holds.

A roof is the most expensive surface on the building and the one people put off longest. Streaks make a Triangle-area roof look finished when it often has years left in it. A soft wash costs a fraction of a replacement and buys back both the look and the time.

Streaks always start on the north slope and always spread downhill. That is the growth following shade and following water. If one side of your roof looks fine and the other does not, nothing is wrong with the shingles, the sun is just doing half the work for you.

Insurers and buyers read a streaked roof as an old roof. We have washed roofs that were flagged on an inspection report and were nowhere near the end of their life. The shingle underneath was fine. The colony on top was the whole problem.

Signs it is time

Any one of these means the buildup has already started working on the surface. The longer it sits, the harder it is to lift.

  • Black streaks running down from the ridge
  • Green moss along the shaded slope
  • Crusty raised lichen spots on the shingles
  • Granules collecting in the gutters
  • A roof flagged on an inspection or an insurance letter
  • Growth creeping out from under the shingle edges

What you get

Why property owners call us

No granule loss

Soft washing protects the shingle surface and your warranty.

Streaks gone, not hidden

We treat the algae so it does not come right back.

Longer roof life

Clearing moss and lichen stops them from lifting shingles.

Better curb appeal

A clean roof is the first thing buyers and neighbors notice.

We protect what is below

Landscaping, siding, and drives get wet down first and rinsed after.

Photos when we finish

You cannot see most of your roof from the ground, so we show you.

Paperwork for the inspection

If a report or an insurance letter flagged the roof, you get before and after images you can send back.

Off the roof wherever possible

Every step taken on a shingle costs it something. We work from ladders and the ground where the pitch allows.

Process

How our Roof Washing works

1

Inspect the roof

We check pitch, material, and the worst growth.

2

Apply treatment

A soft wash solution goes on to kill algae, moss, and lichen.

3

Gentle rinse

We rinse at low pressure so nothing tears loose.

4

Protect the ground

We rinse gutters and beds so runoff stays clean.

Pricing

What roof washing costs

Roof washing in the Triangle and Johnston County prices off roof size, pitch, and how much growth has taken hold. A simple single-story roof goes quickly. Steep pitch, several planes, or heavy moss takes more time and more care.

Questions

Roof Washing, answered

Will roof washing void my warranty in the Triangle and Johnston County?
No. We use the low-pressure soft wash method shingle makers recommend, so your Triangle-area roof and its warranty stay protected.
How long before the streaks come back?
With our treatment most Triangle-area roofs stay clean for a few years. Heavy shade can shorten that.
Can you clean a metal or tile roof?
Yes. We adjust the process for asphalt, metal, and tile so each one gets cleaned safely.
Do you walk on my roof?
As little as we can. We work from ladders and the ground wherever possible, which is safer for the shingles and for us.
What about the plants under the eaves?
We soak them before, keep them wet through the job, and rinse them after. That is standard on every roof we do.
My roof got flagged on an inspection. Can a wash fix that?
Often, yes. Streaking and moss are what get written up most, and both come off. We send you before and after photos to pass back to the inspector or the insurer.
Do the streaks disappear the same day?
Most of it goes as we rinse. Heavy lichen can take a few weeks of weather to finish letting go, and that is normal. Tell us if anything is still there and we come look.
Why us

A clear price before we start

No phone tree and no callback queue. You call, someone picks up, and that someone can actually get you on the schedule.

The right method, not the strongest

Soft wash where soft wash belongs. Pressure only where the surface can take it. That is how nothing gets damaged.

We show up on the day we said

If the weather moves us, you hear it from us that morning, not after you have waited all afternoon.

One number for the whole property

Roof, siding, concrete, glass, gutters, and the inside of a commercial building. You are not managing four vendors and four schedules.

Our guarantee

If something is not right, we come back and make it right. That is the whole policy.
