Intro

Unsightly black streaks and green growth are caused by a pervasive algae called Gloeocapsa magma, which thrives in the humid Florida climate. This growth not only destroys curb appeal but also accelerates the wear on all roof types, from asphalt shingle to concrete tile and metal. SWS specializes in safe, professional Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Sarasota services. We utilize a low-pressure, biodegradable solution that is approved to thoroughly sanitize and restore your roof’s original beauty without causing damage, protecting your investment across all roofing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your Soft Wash safe for my roof and landscaping?
Yes, our cleaning solution is biodegradable and the low-pressure application is safe for all roofing materials, including asphalt shingles and tiles. We take extensive care to protect all surrounding landscaping.
How long will the results last?
Our treatment eliminates the root of the problem (the algae spores), providing a clean surface that typically remains bright and streak-free for 18 to 36 months.
Why can't I just pressure wash my roof?
Standard pressure washing will damage shingles, remove protective granules, and void your roof warranty. Soft Washing is the only recommended, non-destructive method.
