Protect Your Investment: Expert Roof Cleaning for a Longer Lifespan

Your home’s exterior is constantly exposed to the elements, leading to the build-up of dirt, grime, mold, mildew, algae, and other unsightly contaminants. This not only detracts from your home’s curb appeal but can also damage its surfaces over time.

At Power Wash Charlotte, we specialize in safely and effectively cleaning various types of residential roofs, including asphalt shingles, tile, metal, and more.

Benefits of Choosing Power Wash Charlotte for Roof Cleaning

Protect Your Roof's Longevity:

Algae, moss, and lichen retain moisture, which can lead to the deterioration of your roofing materials, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. By removing these organisms, we help extend the life of your roof and protect your investment.

Enhance Your Home's Curb Appeal:

A dark, stained roof can significantly detract from your home’s appearance. Our professional roof cleaning services will restore its clean look, instantly boosting your curb appeal and increasing your property value.

Prevent Costly Repairs:

Allowing algae and moss to thrive can lead to granule loss in asphalt shingles, weakening their ability to protect your home. This can eventually result in leaks and the need for expensive roof repairs or replacement.

Improve Energy Efficiency:

While not the primary benefit, a clean, lighter-colored roof can reflect more sunlight, potentially reducing attic temperatures and improving your home’s energy efficiency.

Maintain Your Home's Value:

A clean and well-maintained roof is a key factor in preserving your home’s overall value and attractiveness to potential buyers should you ever decide to sell.

Our Gentle Approach to Roof Cleaning:

We utilize a low-pressure "soft wash" technique, which is the safest and most effective method for cleaning roofs. This involves applying specialized cleaning solutions that kill and remove organic growth without the risk of damaging your roofing materials caused by high-pressure washing.

We use biodegradable cleaning solutions that are tough on algae and moss but safe for your landscaping, pets, and family.

Roof Cleaning FAQ

What are those black streaks on my roof, and can you remove them?

The black streaks you see are typically Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in your asphalt shingles. Yes, our roof cleaning service effectively removes these, along with moss and lichen, restoring your roof’s appearance.

Is your roof cleaning process safe for my shingles?

Absolutely. We use a low-pressure “soft wash” method for roof cleaning, which is the technique recommended by ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association). This gentle process cleans thoroughly without damaging your shingles or voiding warranties.

Why is it important to clean my roof, beyond just aesthetics?

Beyond improving curb appeal, professional roof cleaning removes destructive organisms like moss and algae that retain moisture and can cause premature deterioration, granule loss, and even leaks, ultimately extending your roof’s lifespan and preventing costly repairs.

Will the cleaning solutions harm my landscaping or pets?

No. Our roof cleaning solutions are carefully chosen to be eco-friendly and biodegradable. We also take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process, including thoroughly rinsing surrounding areas.

How long do roof cleaning results typically last?

The longevity of roof cleaning results depends on environmental factors, but typically, a professional soft wash can keep your roof clean and free of significant organic growth for 2 to 4 years. We can also discuss preventative treatments.
