Roof Cleaning

Before After

In Southwest Florida, it is very common that a roof to be covered in algae. This algae, Gloeocapsa Magma, thrives in warm humid climates such as Lakewood Ranch, Florida, and causes discoloration. Whether it’s your personal residence, business, church, or commercial building, this algae drastically reduces the curb appeal and longevity of the roof.

Shingle Roofs

Once algae bind to a shingle roof, it begins to feed off of the limestone in the shingles present from the manufacturing process, eventually deteriorating them. Due to Florida’s constant heat, humidity, and sunshine, the algae can thrive if not properly cleaned. We use a proprietary algaecide blend to kill algae at the source. After killing the algae, our commercial-grade pressure washers are used to rinse all contaminants. Ask us about our Property Maintenance Program to keep your roof and home clean year-round for a flat rate.

Tile Roofs

Algae also bind and begin to feed off of tile roofs. We offer many solutions depending on your wants and needs as a homeowner, business owner, or community board member. Our solutions include:

  1. Pressure washing the roof to remove algae without the use of chemicals to protect foliage.
  2. Soft washing with our algaecide solution for maximum efficiency and instant results. Foliage is still protected via consistent rinsing.
