What Are Those Black Streaks on Your Roof?

Those dark streaks running down your roof are not dirt, and they are not just cosmetic. They are Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles.

Here is what it actually does to your roof:

  • Eats your shingles. The algae breaks down shingle granules over time.
  • Traps moisture. Algae and lichen hold water against the surface, promoting rot.
  • Kills your curb appeal. A stained roof makes an entire property look neglected.
  • Raises questions with your insurer. A visibly stained roof can trigger an inspection request.

The growth does not stop on its own. It gets worse every year. Cleaning your roof is not vanity. It is maintenance.

Soft Wash vs. Pressure Washing: Why It Matters

Most companies that advertise roof cleaning use a pressure washer. But pressure washing a roof causes real damage.

Pressure washing (the wrong way): operates at 2,000-3,000 PSI. That force strips protective granules off your shingles, cracks tiles, and voids warranties.

Soft wash (our method): operates at under 100 PSI, about the same as a garden hose. We apply a biocide solution that kills algae, mold, and lichen at the root. No granule loss, no cracked tiles, no warranty issues.

We are roofers first. Soft wash results last 2-3 years, while pressure washing damage is permanent.

How We Clean Your Roof

Step 1: Inspection

Before we clean anything, we inspect. We check for damaged shingles, cracked tiles, failing flashing, and any condition that needs attention before cleaning.

Step 2: Soft Wash Application

Our crew applies the biocide solution across the entire roof surface. The solution targets algae, mold, lichen, and moss at the cellular level. No pressure, no scrubbing.

Step 3: Rinse and Clear

We rinse the treatment to carry away killed growth and debris. Gutters and downspouts are cleared so nothing backs up.

Step 4: Post-Clean Inspection

Final inspection of the roof surface. If cleaning revealed hidden damage, we document it and let you know.

The entire process takes 2-4 hours for a typical residential roof.

Roof Types and Growth We Treat

Roof types we clean:

  • Asphalt shingle
  • Concrete tile
  • Clay tile (barrel and flat)
  • Metal roofing (standing seam and corrugated)

Types of growth we remove:

  • Algae (Gloeocapsa magma, the black streaking)
  • Mold (dark spots and patches)
  • Lichen (crusty, light-colored patches)
  • Moss (thick green growth)

Soft wash is safe for all of these roof types.

How Much Does Roof Cleaning Cost?

We quote every job individually based on roof size, pitch, accessibility, and growth severity.

Residential: $300 to $900. Most Daytona Beach homes fall between $400 and $700.

Commercial: $500 to $2,000+

What affects the price:

  • Roof size. A 1,200 sq ft ranch costs less than a 3,000 sq ft two-story.
  • Pitch. Steeper roofs require safety equipment.
  • Severity. Heavy lichen takes longer than light algae.
  • Accessibility. Trees and multi-story homes affect setup.

We give you the price before we start. Call (386) 564-6700 for a free estimate.

A Licensed Roofer Who Cleans Roofs

We are a licensed Florida roofing contractor. That distinction matters:

1. We know what we are looking at. When we clean your roof, we are also inspecting it.

2. If cleaning reveals damage, we fix it. Repair, replacement, rejuvenation. One contractor, one call.

3. Soft wash is our standard. We do not own a pressure washer for roofs. Soft wash is the only method we use.
