Why Tampa Bay roofs turn black
Heat, humidity and shade give algae and mildew what they need to grow on a roof.
Black streaks
The dark streaks on Florida roofs are algae. They spread across damp, shaded slopes that get less sun.
A soft wash treats the algae where it grows instead of blasting the surface.
Moss and mildew under trees
Oaks and pines shade the roof and drop leaves that hold moisture against it.
The same treatment works on moss, mold and mildew, and the debris that comes off is flushed out of the gutters.
Summer storms
From June to September, afternoon storms and the heat and humidity that follow feed the growth.
A low-pressure rinse once the treatment has worked. High pressure can damage shingles and tiles, so we never use it.
What the black streaks are
The dark streaks on Florida roofs are algae. Moss, mold and mildew grow in the same damp, shaded spots. A soft wash treats them where they grow instead of blasting the surface.
Shingle, tile and metal roofs
The same low-pressure method works on shingle, tile and metal roofs. High-pressure washing damages roofs, so we never use it on them; asphalt shingle makers advise against pressure washing too.
Roof, gutters and walls in one visit
Roof cleaning pairs well with gutter cleaning and house washing, so the roof, the gutters and the walls are clean at the same time.
What sets the price
Roof cleaning is priced per job, mainly by the size of the roof.
Size of the roof
The square footage of the roof.
Height and pitch
Taller and steeper roofs need more ladder and safety work.
Roof material
Shingle, tile or metal.
How much growth
Heavy moss or thick mildew may need a longer treatment.

Outside Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties, a travel fee of about $30, depending on the miles.

Questions about roof cleaning in Tampa
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. Roofs are cleaned only with a low-pressure soft wash. High-pressure washing damages roofs.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Algae. It grows on damp, shaded parts of the roof, often with moss, mold and mildew. A soft wash treats it where it grows.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants?
We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions, and we wet your plants before we start and rinse them again when we finish. Tell us about any plants you are worried about when you book.
Do you clean tile and metal roofs?
Yes. Shingle, tile and metal roofs all get the same low-pressure soft wash.
How long does a roof cleaning last?
It depends on shade, trees and moisture: a roof under oaks grows back sooner than one in full sun. We tell you what to expect for your roof after we see it.
How much does roof cleaning cost?
It depends mainly on the size of the roof, its height and how much growth there is. The estimate is free, and we confirm the final price before any work starts.
