Roof Washing & Black Streak Removal
Those black streaks are algae eating your shingles. A manufacturer-safe soft wash removes them.
Quick answer
What is roof washing?
Roof washing removes black algae streaks and organic growth using a low-pressure soft wash solution. It is the cleaning method endorsed by asphalt shingle manufacturers, and it typically keeps a roof clear for two to four years in Florida.
