What’s a roof Soft Wash?

Our soft wash process is designed to rejuvenate your roof with care and efficiency. Here’s how it works:

  • Debris Removal: We start by removing all loose debris from your roof.

  • Manual Moss Removal: Large moss pieces are gently brushed away using a soft bristle brush.

  • Leave-On Treatment: A special treatment is applied that gradually decomposes organic compounds like moss and algae.

  • Progressive Enhancement: Within 2 to 4 weeks, you’ll begin to see your roof transform. The roof will look cleaner with each passing day as rainwater aids in washing away the loosened grime and moss.

Softwashing FAQ

It typically takes 2-4 weeks for leftover organics to decompose. However, the exact duration depends on the amount of moss and organic material present. An infestation will obviously take longer to decompose than a few patches. We will provide each homeowner with a rough timeframe on the service date. Generally, if there's moss already growing on your roof, it indicates that maintenance has been delayed.

Yes, our treatment is a leave-on application designed to decompose both organic materials and synthetic stains. It typically takes 2-4 weeks to complete its job. Please note that this treatment is not plant-friendly, as it is specifically formulated to kill plants growing on your roof.

No, we do not rinse after applying the treatment. Instead, we let nature take its course. This approach is about saving water and being as eco-friendly as possible. After about 90 minutes, most of the active ingredients in the treatment have neutralized themselves, making it safe for the environment. Rain and weather will naturally wash away the remaining residue over time.

Brushing your roof can be safe if done correctly. However, aggressive brushing or scrubbing can loosen granules on asphalt shingle roofs and may chip or crack tiles on tile roofs. In general, the less pressure applied on the roof, the better.

Pressure washing can shed granules, crack tiles, damage the waterproofing paper underneath, loosen tiles, and, in some cases, blast holes in your roof. Soft washing is the best method to clean your roof without causing damage.

Definitely. We always keep an eye out while we're on your roof and will report back to you if we notice anything unusual.

Yes, we do. However, we are limited in scope. While we can replace a cracked tile here and there, we cannot replace your entire roof. Our focus is on minor repairs and tile replacement.

For the best results and to prevent moss or any kind of organic buildup, including algae, mold, lichen, and bird droppings, you should soft wash your roof twice a year. This will help you maintain a beautiful roof year-round.

The color change in certain spots is likely due to the removal of organics like moss, algae, or lichen. These organisms can create dark stains on your roof over time, and once they're removed, the underlying roof color may be revealed. Additionally, when our treatment interacts with certain materials, such as Capsa Magma, it can cause brown streaks on the roof. This happens because the treatment is effectively breaking down the material. While these streaks may look concerning, they are actually a sign that the treatment is working. The rainwater will eventually rinse away these streaks, leaving your roof looking clean and restored. In some cases, uneven wear or previous treatments can also cause color variation.

If you still see moss on your roof after treatment, it's likely that the moss is in the process of decomposing. The treatment is designed to kill moss, which then decomposes over time. Depending on the level of infestation, this can take several weeks. Additionally, some moss may remain if it was not safe to remove it manually during the cleaning process.
