Those ugly black streaks on your roof aren't just dirtβthey are a living cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma that is feeding on the limestone filler in your shingles. If left untreated, this algae will deteriorate your roof, causing premature granule loss, reduced energy efficiency, and thousands of dollars in replacement costs.
Tampa Bay Soft Wash & Pressure Cleaning offers the safest, most effective solution. We use the specialized soft washing method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). This approach kills the algae at the root level, providing a clean that lasts longer than traditional pressure washing while protecting your delicate shingles.
"Don't Risk A Fall, Give Us A Call!" Roof cleaning is dangerous. Let our trained professionals safely restore your roof from the ground up, keeping you safe and your property protected.
What are the black stains on my roof?
Gloeocapsa magma is a photosynthetic cyanobacteria consisting of a small group of algae spores. It is responsible for the black/dark green stains that form on roofs. These black stains are the bacteria themselves in mass amounts covering the surface of the roof shingles. Besides creating uninviting black streaks, these algae also feed on the limestone filler in your shingles causing harmful damage and deterioration to your roof.
What about my landscaping, are you going to kill it?
No, we properly prepare the landscaping surrounding your home. We generously water and then shield your plants if necessary. All gutter drains are redirected or bagged to catch any runoff that may occur. We take every precaution we can to protect your landscaping around the home.
Will you be using high or low pressure methods?
High pressure methods should never be used on any part of your roof. Therefore, we use a non-pressure soft wash method recommended by the roof covering manufacturers themselves.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure and specialized solutions to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors. It is so named to differentiate the method from power washing.

Why is it such a problem now more than ever?
The roofing material industry has changed. In the last few decades roof covering manufacturers have changed the makeup and construction of the shingles. Newer roofing materials have less petroleum products in them, more materials (like fiberglass) that retain moisture as they age, and more limestone (organic material) inside of them which the plants just love to feed on!
Should I Wait to Have My Roof Cleaned?
If you have black streaks (black algae), moss, or lichen growing on your roof, itβs not just an eyesore, your roof is being damaged! The organisms are feeding off the materials in your roof covering and wearing away at the integrity of your roof. Our goal is to completely eliminate these problems and keep your roof healthy for years to come.
How Long Do I Have To Wait To See Results?
You will start to see results the same day. Most of the black algae will be gone right away. However, the moss, lichen, and problem spots may take a few rain and sun cycles to completely wash off once and for all.
What Areas Do You Service?
If the job is big enough, we will travel anywhere in the Tampa Bay area! Ideally, we would like to stay in neighborhoods that are within and surrounding Clearwater and the neighboring cities including Dunedin, Belleair, Largo, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Palm Harbor, and Westchase.
