Home / Services / Roof Soft Washing / Kirkwood
Professional roof soft washing for Kirkwood, done by a local, insured crew. Free in-person estimates and honest, up-front quotes.
Kirkwood is known for older brick and clapboard homes under big established trees. Those same conditions grow black algae streaks and moss on the roof, and we soft wash at low pressure so the growth lifts away without stripping the granules that protect your shingles.
Roof soft washing in Kirkwood uses no high pressure at all, just the right cleaning solution and a gentle rinse, so it stays safe for shingles, tile and metal alike. Estimates are free and in person.
What's included
The dark vertical staining on asphalt shingles killed at the root, not just rinsed.
Growth in shaded valleys and north slopes cleared without lifting shingles.
A true soft wash — zero pressure on the roof surface, so nothing gets damaged.
The black tiger-striping on gutter faces cleaned while we are up there.
Landscaping below the roofline pre-wet and rinsed so runoff does no harm.
Removing the algae removes what holds moisture against your shingles.
Good to know
Yes. Kirkwood is part of our regular service area, and estimates there are free and in person. We cover the surrounding communities too.
Yes — it is the method roofing manufacturers recommend. There is no pressure on the roof at all. The cleaning solution does the work, not force.
A pressure rinse only knocks the surface growth loose. Soft washing kills the algae at the root, so it takes far longer to return.
We minimize roof contact and work from ladders and the ground wherever possible, applying and rinsing the solution without pounding the shingles.
