Roof soft washing in Monroe — what to expect
Pressure washing a roof voids the warranty and shortens shingle life. Soft washing is the only manufacturer-approved method to remove the streaks, and unlike pressure washing it actually kills the organism so it doesn't come back in 6 months.
Residential roof soft wash in Monroe follows the same ARMA-approved approach we use across the corridor. North-facing slopes streak first from gloeocapsa magma — the dark algae stain. Soft wash kills it at the root, not just the surface. We never walk on the roof. For commercial buildings in the Hwy 11 corridor, roof cleaning is bid per scope based on access, height, and target areas.
