Professional Roof Cleaning in Kansas City

Safe soft wash roof cleaning that removes algae, moss, and black streaks without damaging your shingles or voiding your warranty.

What Is Roof Cleaning?

Those black streaks and green patches on your roof aren't just unsightly — they're algae, moss, and lichen slowly eating away at your shingles. Our soft wash roof cleaning safely removes damaging buildup using low-pressure water and professional cleaning solutions, extending the life of your roof without the risk of high-pressure damage.

What's Included

  • Low-pressure soft wash safe for all roof types
  • Removal of algae, moss, lichen, and black streaks
  • Treatment to slow future regrowth
  • Gutters cleared of debris post-clean
  • Before and after inspection

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Adds Years to the Shingle

Gloeocapsa magma eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Kill it now and you can extend the roof's usable life by 5 to 10 years.

Keeps the Warranty Valid

ARMA-approved soft washing is the method most shingle manufacturers require. Rotary or high-pressure cleaning voids most residential roof warranties on contact.

Streaks Lighten Fast

Most black streaks visibly fade within a day of treatment and continue clearing over the following weeks as the solution finishes working. Neighbors notice before we've packed up.
