Roof Soft Washing in Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky
Black streaks and moss off asphalt shingles — with zero pressure on the roof.
The problem
Those black streaks running down your shingles are a living organism — gloeocapsa magma, a blue-green algae that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles.
Moss is worse than algae. It holds moisture against the shingle and lifts the edges, which is how water gets under them.
Pressure washing a roof destroys it. It strips the protective granules off the shingles and voids most manufacturer warranties. Anyone who offers to pressure wash your roof should not be on it.
How the job runs
Zero pressure, all chemistry
Roofs get a soft wash application only. The solution kills the algae and moss, and rain carries it off over the following weeks. No granule loss.
Protect everything below
Landscaping, siding and hardscape get pre-wet and shielded before anything goes on the roof.
Apply, dwell, rinse to spec
Handled according to the shingle manufacturer's guidance, not guesswork.
What's included
- Soft wash treatment across affected roof areas
- Landscaping protection below the work area
- Gutters rinsed of runoff afterward
Roof Soft Washing questions
Will soft washing damage my shingles?
No, and that is the whole point of the method. Soft washing uses no meaningful pressure. The thing that damages shingles is a pressure washer, which blasts off the granules that protect the asphalt underneath.
How long until the streaks disappear?
Much of it lifts quickly, and the rest clears over the following weeks as rain rinses the dead algae away. A roof does not go spotless the same afternoon the way a driveway does.
