Orlando’s year-round humidity and heavy summer storms keep roofs damp for months at a time, and the dense oak canopy shading half the city means many slopes never fully dry out between rains. That combination feeds thick black-streak algae, especially on north-facing and shade-covered sections of the roof. Once it takes hold on the shaded slopes, it keeps coming back, making this an ongoing maintenance issue rather than a one-time fix.
Orlando roofs are a real mix. Shingle covers most of the older, established neighborhoods; tile shows up across the newer master-planned districts; and metal, clay, and slate appear on homes throughout the city. We match our approach to whatever material you have, using a soft wash that lifts the algae without the damage high pressure would cause.

We soft wash every common Orlando roof, from shingle on older homes to tile across the newer districts. The method is always low pressure; what changes is the strength and the angle.
Shingle roofs get a soft wash and a full rinse so the granule layer stays intact. Shingle is the dominant roof material across Orlando’s established central neighborhoods and subdivision builds.
Flat tile holds algae differently than shingle, so we apply a stronger solution, still at low pressure, and rinse fully so nothing is driven up under the tile. Flat tile is common on the newer master-planned districts and stucco two-story homes across the city.
Barrel tile has a rounded profile that hides growth on every face, so we spray it from each angle to reach the full surface of every tile. The stronger solution and the extra time are reflected in the price.
Metal roofs get a soft wash tuned to the finish. Metal shows up more often as roofing than as siding around Orlando, so it is a roof type we see and clean regularly.
Clay tile is soft washed with a strength suited to the material and rinsed completely. Clay tends to appear on custom-built and higher-end homes.

Slate is cleaned with a careful low-pressure application that protects the stone. It shows up less often than tile or shingle, mostly on estate-scale roofs with steeper pitches.
When a TPO membrane roof needs to stay within the manufacturer’s coverage terms, we clean with Dragon Juice, a safe degreaser that will not dry out rubber seals, instead of bleach. This is the standard commercial flat-roof surface we encounter.
Most of our roof work is residential, and we also clean commercial and flat roofs. Every roof, home or business, gets the same soft-wash method and the same spot-free standard before we leave.
We soft wash residential roofs across every common Orlando material: shingle, flat and barrel tile, metal, clay, and slate. The approach protects every surface that high pressure would damage, while still removing the algae and organic buildup that Orlando’s climate produces.
Every residential roof clean includes:
If a roof is structurally unsafe or simply doesn’t need cleaning, we’ll tell you up front rather than sell you a service that won’t change how it looks.
We clean commercial and flat roofs, including TPO membrane, for properties such as:
TPO roofs with warranty restrictions are cleaned with Dragon Juice instead of bleach, so rubber seals are not dried out. We schedule most commercial roof work after hours or overnight to keep it from disrupting the business, and the property manager handles any tenant notification.
Every roof, every siding type, and every pool screen we clean gets a soft wash: a low-pressure chemical application and a full rinse. We save real pressure for concrete, where it belongs, so the surfaces that high pressure damages stay protected. That is the standard on every residential and commercial roof we touch.
Protection runs through every visit: outlets, doorbells, cameras, and garage-door openers taped and sealed, plants pre-rinsed, downspouts bagged with a Neutropod to neutralize bleach, and pool decks rinsed away from the water. On a roof job, this is how we keep runoff from reaching your landscaping or pool.
You don’t have to be home. You’ll get a text with our arrival time, before-and-after photos when we’re done, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link, plus a follow-up call a few days later to make sure everything still looks right.
We use the lightest effective chemistry for each surface, dialing strength up only when the job demands it. That means sodium metasilicate to clean wood without bleaching its color, oxalic acid at minimum strength for rust, and Dragon Juice in place of bleach on TPO roofs with warranty restrictions.
Bigger machines mean less time with loud equipment running outside your home. Our high-GPM setup, 36-inch surface cleaner, four-story long-reach unit, and 535-gallon tank let our crew finish faster, often from the ground.
Contact us by our online form or by phone or text. Our office gathers the details on the first contact, then a quick discovery call clarifies exactly what your roof needs (algae streaking, moss in the tile, general buildup). You get a detailed written estimate priced by square footage before anything is scheduled.
Once you approve the estimate, you are placed on the schedule with a confirmed service date. You do not have to be home.
On the day, our crew texts an arrival time. Before any cleaner touches the roof, downspouts get a trash bag and a Neutropod to neutralize bleach, so nothing harmful reaches your landscaping.
We apply the soft wash, spot-check, and re-apply where needed. Barrel tile is sprayed from each angle. The entire roof is then fully rinsed so nothing stays on the surface. The four-story long-reach unit lets our crew treat most Orlando roofs from the ground.
On cleaning day, if our crew finds any damage (loose or missing shingles, cracks, flashing issues), we document it with photos and tell you before we proceed. This happens during the job, not before the estimate is approved.
When we finish, you get before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link by text or email, plus a follow-up call a few days later to make sure everything still looks right.
Roof cleaning is priced by the square foot and by material, since tile takes more strength and time than shingle. Two-story roofs and roofs without gutters cost more.
