Roof Soft Washing in Middle TN
Those black streaks aren't dirt — they're algae. We remove them the only safe way.
The dark streaks running down so many Middle Tennessee roofs are a living algae called Gloeocapsa magma, feeding on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left alone it spreads, holds moisture, and can shorten the life of your roof. Pressure washing a roof is a serious mistake — it tears off the protective granules and voids many shingle warranties.
The correct method, recommended by shingle manufacturers and the roofing industry, is a low-pressure soft wash. We apply a treatment that kills the algae and moss, then let it work — no pounding, no granule loss. Your roof's color comes back and the streaks are eliminated at the source.
Why never to pressure wash a roof
- High pressure strips protective granules and shortens roof life
- It can void your shingle manufacturer's warranty
- Soft washing kills algae at the root — streaks don't just return
- Safer for you and your roof than any DIY approach

Roof Soft Washing: common questions
Will soft washing damage my shingles?
No — that's the whole point. Soft washing uses essentially no pressure, so there's no granule loss. It's the method shingle manufacturers and roofers actually recommend.
