Central Florida’s heat, heavy humidity, and strong sun make your roof one of the easiest places around for living organic growth to take hold. Those dark streaks and green-black patches you see spreading across the shingles aren’t dirt that a hard rain will rinse off. They’re algae, and under the thick oak canopy most Longwood homes sit beneath, they come back fast once a roof is left untreated.
Every roof we clean gets a 100% soft wash: a low-pressure chemical application and a full rinse, never high pressure. That method is the whole point of how we work at Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services, because high pressure is what cracks tile and strips coatings while the algae just grows back anyway. We lift the growth with the soft wash without ever touching the roof itself, and we back it with our spot-free roof guarantee.
If your roof has started to streak, call us at (407) 276-1343 and we’ll talk through what it needs.
Every roof we clean gets a soft wash, and the chemistry and approach are matched to the material so the surface is never put at risk.
Beyond the guarantee, here’s what you’re getting when our crew handles your roof.
Reach out through our online form or by phone or text, and our office answers and gathers the details on that first contact. A quick discovery call clarifies exactly what the roof needs, whether that’s algae, streaking, or general buildup, and then a detailed written estimate follows, priced by square footage and by roof material. One honest note: the roof isn’t inspected up close before you approve the estimate. That closer assessment happens on cleaning day.
Once you approve the estimate, you’re placed on the schedule with a confirmed date. On the day of the clean, the crew texts you an arrival time so you know exactly when we’re coming.
Before any solution goes down, plants are pre-rinsed and the downspouts are bagged with trash bags, and a Neutropod is dropped in to neutralize the bleach before it can reach your landscaping. Nothing harsh reaches the beds around the house.
A low-pressure application of sodium hypochlorite and soaps goes on the roof, or Dragon Juice on a TPO roof with warranty restrictions, and never high pressure. Tile gets a stronger strength than shingle, and barrel tile is sprayed at an angle from each side so the solution reaches into the profile. The crew reaches most roofs from the ground with the long-reach unit, and uses sticky-sole boots on the occasions the surface has to be walked. Anywhere growth is still holding on, we spot-check and re-apply.
The entire roof is rinsed down so no bleach is left to sit and dry on the surface or in the gutters. What you’re left with is a genuinely clean roof, rinsed clear rather than coated in anything that could dry down and streak.
On cleaning day, if the crew finds any damage, loose or missing shingles, cracks, or flashing issues, it’s photographed through smart glasses and shown to you before we go any further. You decide how to proceed with the full picture in front of you.
When the job’s done, before-and-after photos, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link go out by text or email. A few days later you’ll hear from us with a follow-up happy call to confirm everything still looks the way it should.
No. Every roof gets a 100% soft wash: a low-pressure chemical application and a full rinse. High pressure is what damages shingles, tile, and coatings, so it’s never used on a roof. We save the real pressure for concrete, where it belongs.
We assess the roof on cleaning day, since it isn’t inspected up close before you approve the estimate. If we find loose or missing shingles, cracks, or flashing issues, we photograph them with smart glasses and show you before we proceed. 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.
Yes. Plants are pre-rinsed before any solution goes down, the downspouts are bagged and a Neutropod is dropped in to neutralize the bleach before it reaches landscaping, and the whole roof is rinsed so nothing is left to sit and dry. Keep pets inside until everything is dry.
Most roof cleans take about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the roof, the material, and access. Two-story and non-guttered roofs can take longer.
The streaks are living algae and organic growth, and Central Florida’s heat, humidity, and heavy oak canopy fuel rapid regrowth once a roof is exposed again. Our spot-free roof guarantee means the roof reads spot-free the day we leave. In this climate a roof under heavy oaks will eventually grow new algae, and when it does, a fresh clean brings it right back to spot-free.
If your roof is streaking, we’ll put a free written estimate in your hands with no obligation. Algae only spreads the longer it sits, so the sooner it comes off a Central Florida roof, the better the roof holds up over the years.
