Common questions
Roof Cleaning FAQs
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. Asphalt shingles should not be blasted with high pressure. We use a soft wash roof-cleaning method.
Will black streaks come off immediately?
Many streaks improve quickly, but moss and lichen may continue to release after treatment as weather works on the growth.
