Frequently Asked Questions

professional soft washing siding of home

Whether it’s roof washing, deck cleaning, or gutter maintenance, we’ve gathered a list of potential questions that can help you understand how each service works and why it’s important for your property.

Soft roof washing is a no pressure way of cleaning your roof. We never use a pressure washer on your roof. We only use ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) approved methods to clean your roof. ARMA Bulletin.pdf

Over time, dirt, moss, algae, and other debris can cause damage to your roof by trapping moisture and promoting the growth of mold. Roof washing helps maintain the integrity of your roof, enhances its curb appeal, and extends its lifespan.

Roof washing removes harmful moss, algae, and dirt that can damage your roof over time. By keeping your roof clean, you reduce the risk of leaks, increase its lifespan, and maintain your home’s curb appeal.

 

Pressure washing your roof will harm your roof but may also void any warranty that you may have on your roof.

Those stains and streaks are a type of algae called Gloeocapsa Magma that thrives in the shady or north side of your roof. This has become more of a problem in the last few decades.

Shingle-makers now use limestone filler in the manufacturing process of roof shingles. This filler is a food for this destructive algae.

  • That stuff may be lichen which is a combination of algae and fungus, light green in color, and acidic.
  • It may be moss which is dark green, thicker, and holds more water.
  • These algae, moss and lichens will grow up into the gullets (slots) of your shingles making your roof prone to  wind damage and leaks.
  • These organic matters act like sponges keeping your roof damp which in time will lead to rot.

No. We clean your roof using the guidelines by ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association). Cleaning your roof with a safe soft roof washing will prolong the life of your roof by removing the fungus that is eating away at it.

We use only the highest quality, environmentally-friendly soaps and moldicide to clean and destroy the growth of any algae and fungus on your roof and siding.

Pressure washing and power washing are very similar, but the key difference lies in the temperature of the water used. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants, while power washing uses heated water to clean surfaces. The added heat in power washing can be more effective for removing stubborn stains, oil, and grease, making it ideal for tough cleaning jobs.

Deck cleaning helps to remove dirt, mold, and mildew that can degrade your wood or composite deck over time. A clean deck not only looks better but also reduces the risk of slipping hazards. Regular cleaning helps maintain the deck's integrity, so it lasts longer.
