Roof cleaning in Grand Haven.
Grand Haven runs from estate homes near the Intracoastal to single-story homes inland, so roofs here are a near-even mix of tile and shingle, and the humidity off the water feeds algae on both. We lift the black streaks and algae off your roof with a soft wash, the method that cleans without damaging the surface.
What causes the black streaks
Those dark stains are Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that thrives on Florida humidity. Roofs in Grand Haven are a near-even mix of shingle and tile, and Florida humidity grows algae on every type. Left alone it spreads, holds moisture against the roof, and shortens its life.
Soft wash, not pressure
Roofs are cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash and a roof-safe treatment, never high pressure, which cracks tile and strips shingle granules. The treatment kills the algae at the root so it stays gone longer than a surface rinse.

How it works
We look at the roof first
We identify the roof type and how far the growth has spread so the estimate and the treatment match your roof.
Low-pressure soft wash
A roof-safe solution is applied at low pressure to lift algae, lichen, and streaks without harming the surface.
We protect your property
Landscaping and surfaces below are wet down and watched throughout, so only the roof growth is touched, nothing else.

Common questions.
Will pressure washing ruin my roof?
High pressure can crack tile and blast the protective granules off shingles, which is why we never use it on roofs. We soft wash instead, the method roofing manufacturers recommend.
How long will the roof stay clean?
Because the soft wash kills the algae rather than just rinsing it, results last far longer than a pressure rinse. In Grand Haven, humidity means a recurring schedule keeps it looking new.
Do you clean tile, metal, and shingle?
Yes, all three, which matters in Grand Haven where roofs are a near-even mix of shingle and tile. Each surface gets the right low-pressure approach.
Can you reach a steep or tall roof?
Yes. For tall or steep roofs we also offer drone cleaning, so we reach the whole roof safely without walking it.
