Roof Cleaning In Prescott Valley, AZ
Black streaks, moss and algae soft washed off shingle and tile roofs across Prescott Valley and Prescott with cleaner and a gentle rinse, never high pressure on the roof.
Never high pressure on a roof
A pressure washer strips the granules off shingles and lifts tiles. Roof cleaning is a soft wash, and only a soft wash.
The dark streaks on a roof are algae, and on the shaded north slopes of Prescott homes moss gets a start under the pines. Both hold moisture against the roof and make a house look older than it is. The fix is cleaner applied at low pressure, left to work, and rinsed off gently, so the growth is killed and carried away without damaging shingles or tiles.
Roof soft washing is one of the services Phil offers alongside house washing, and the two are usually done on the same visit. Gutters are checked for what the wash sends down, and landscaping below the roofline is rinsed before and after.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Algae, most often, growing where the roof stays shaded and damp. It feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and holds moisture. A soft wash kills it and rinses it away.
Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?
Not with a soft wash. The damage people associate with roof cleaning comes from pressure washers blasting the granules off. We never put high pressure on a roof.
Can you clean a tile roof?
Yes. Concrete and clay tile are cleaned the same way, with cleaner and a gentle rinse, and we are careful about where weight goes so no tiles are cracked or lifted.
How long does a roof stay clean?
Usually several years. Shaded slopes under pines will show growth sooner than a roof in full sun, and a yearly look tells you when it is time again.
Do you clean the gutters afterward?
We flush what the wash sends down and clear anything that collects. A full gutter cleaning can be added to the same visit.
