Roof soft washing services in Lake Mary, FL
Every service on this page uses the same low-pressure soft-wash process. What changes is dwell time and pressure, matched to what's actually on the roof — shingle, tile, or the moss and gutter staining that come with heavy shade.
Roof Soft Washing
A low-pressure application of a cleaning solution that kills roof algae, moss and lichen at the root, then rinses away at a fraction of the pressure a power washer uses. This is the core service every other one on this page builds on.
Tile Roof Cleaning
S-tile and flat concrete tile hold up to soft washing well but not to a pressure washer — high pressure cracks and dislodges tile and can force water under the profile. We treat tile roofs at tile-appropriate pressure and dwell time, which matters in a city with as much tile stock as Lake Mary.
Shingle Roof Cleaning
Asphalt shingle roofs lose their protective granules under high pressure, which shortens their life. Soft washing removes the black algae streaking (Gloeocapsa magma) without touching the granule layer.
Moss Removal
Moss needs shade and standing moisture to take hold, which is exactly what Lake Mary's oak-canopy lots and lake-adjacent yards provide. We kill the moss at the root with the soft-wash solution rather than scraping it, which can lift shingles and tile.
Gutter Brightening
Oxidation streaks and roof runoff stain gutter faces long before the gutters themselves fail. Brightening is usually added on to a roof cleaning visit rather than booked on its own.

Related questions
Does roof cleaning remove moss?
Yes. A soft-wash solution kills moss (and the lichen that often grows alongside it) at the root, so it lifts away in the rinse instead of needing to be scraped. Scraping or pressure washing moss off tends to leave the root structure intact — it grows back faster and risks lifting shingles or cracking tile in the process.
How much does it cost to clean a roof?
Statewide, soft wash roof cleaning in Florida commonly runs about $0.25–$0.75 per square foot, with asphalt shingle toward the lower end and tile a little higher because it takes more care. Most single-story to mid-sized homes land in a $400–$900 total range.
