Don't Replace Your Roof.
Clean It.
Remove unsightly black streaks and extend the life of your shingles with our Low-Pressure Soft Wash.
Those Black Streaks Are Eating Your Roof
Many homeowners think those black stains on their roof are just dirt or soot. They are actually a living bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma.
This algae feeds on the crushed limestone filler in your asphalt shingles. Over time, it loosens the granules, reduces your roof's ability to reflect heat, and can lead to premature roof failure.
The Safe Way To Clean Your Roof
Never use high pressure on a roof. We use the ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) recommended cleaning method.
Zero Pressure
Pressure washers can blow the granules right off your shingles, voiding your warranty. Our system uses no more pressure than a gentle rain, relying on chemistry to do the work.
Kills The Roots
Our biodegradable cleaning solution penetrates the pores of the shingles to kill the algae, mold, and moss at the root, preventing it from growing back just a few months later.
Warranty Protection
Most shingle warranties specifically state you must clean your roof to maintain coverage, but improper cleaning voids it. Our Soft Wash method keeps you fully compliant.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our Safe Roof Washing process.
What is "Soft Washing"?
Soft Washing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure (about the same as a garden hose) combined with specialized biodegradable solutions to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae, and other organic stains from your roof without damaging the granules.
Will the cleaning chemicals hurt my plants?
No. We take plant safety very seriously. We saturate your landscape with fresh water before, during, and after the cleaning process. This dilutes any runoff immediately, ensuring your flowers and grass remain healthy and safe.
Will pressure washing damage my shingles?
Yes! You should never use high pressure on asphalt shingles. It can blow off the protective granules and void your manufacturer's warranty. That is why Skilled Pugs only uses the manufacturer-approved Soft Wash method.
How long will my roof stay clean?
Generally, a roof soft wash will keep your roof free of algae for 3 to 5 years. This depends on the amount of rainfall, shade, and tree coverage around your home.
Do I need to be home for the service?
No, you do not need to be home! We just need access to a working water spigot and for you to ensure all windows are closed and pets are inside. We will send you "Before & After" photos when we are done.
Does this void my roof warranty?
No. In fact, the ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) specifically recommends the low-pressure chemical cleaning method we use to maintain the warranty and extend the life of the roof.
Why does my roof have black streaks?
Those streaks are actually a cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles. If left untreated, it can cause the granules to detach and shorten the lifespan of your roof.
