Roof Cleaning
San Diego's marine layer and shaded rooflines give algae, moss, and lichen exactly the conditions they need to take hold. We clear it with a soft-wash approach — low pressure, the right solution for the surface — so the roofing material isn't put at risk to get the buildup off.
What this addresses
- Black or dark streaking on tile and shingle roofs, usually algae
- Green or gray patches of moss holding moisture against the roofline
- Lichen anchored into grout lines or tile edges
- Roof valleys and north-facing slopes that stay shaded and slow to dry
How it works
We treat the roof from the ground or a ladder rather than walking the tile, apply a soft-wash solution suited to the roofing material, and let it do the work of lifting organic growth without blasting the surface with high pressure.
Why it's worth doing
- Restores the roof's original color and curb appeal
- Removes the organic growth that holds moisture against roofing material
- Low-pressure method suited to tile, shingle, and other roofing surfaces
- Improves how the whole exterior presents from the street

Frequently asked questions
Will pressure washing damage my roof?
High pressure can strip granules and force water under roofing material, which is why we use a soft-wash method instead — low pressure with a solution suited to the surface.
Do you walk on the roof?
We minimize foot traffic on roofing material and work from a ladder or the ground wherever the roof pitch and access allow.
How long does roof cleaning take?
It depends on roof size, pitch, and how much buildup is present. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.
