Central Florida’s heat, humidity, and daily afternoon storms create the perfect conditions for roof algae to spread fast. The dark vertical streaks running down asphalt shingles are gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on the limestone filler in the shingle and thrives under shade from live oaks and laurel oaks. Tile owners on Spanish-style homes in Winter Park and Dr. Phillips watch organic buildup settle into the valleys, and newer Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, and Windermere subdivisions come with HOA appearance standards that make a clean roof matter.
Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services soft washes every roof we touch. No high pressure. No exceptions. On every material we clean (asphalt shingle, flat tile, barrel tile, metal, or TPO), the cleaning solution does the work, never the pump. Our high-reach machine reaches nearly four stories from the ground or ladder edge, so most jobs never need a boot on your shingles or tiles.
Call us at (407) 276-1343 to get on the schedule, or send a message through our contact form and we will reach back out to confirm the details.
We handle every inbound call and form submission personally. For form leads, she calls back to confirm the details and ask the deeper questions about what kind of staining you’re dealing with and what the roof has been through recently. That conversation drives the accuracy of your estimate, so we don’t rush it.
Once the details are locked in, you receive a written estimate with the soft wash method spelled out. Approve it and you’ll see a confirmed date on the schedule. On the day of the job, you’ll get a “we’re on the way” text with an ETA.
When the crew arrives, we greet you, walk through the plan briefly, and answer questions. Then we walk the property and document any visible pre-existing damage to the roof. Daniel uses Meta smart glasses to capture photos hands-free, so cracked tiles, missing shingle pieces, or flashing issues are on file before any work begins. You get the photos.
We hook into your water supply for most residential jobs, using our 535-gallon onboard tank as backup. If you’d rather we bring our own water, our fire hydrant meters make that easy. Then we set up plant protection at every downspout (trash bags plus a Neutropod) and swap the bags during the job so they never overflow.
We apply the soft wash mix from the ground or ladder edge, working in sections so the chemistry doesn’t dry before it’s rinsed. The high-reach machine covers most single-story and two-story Orlando homes from the ground. Tougher algae spots get a second pass, and material-specific adjustments (the wet-stays-wet protocol on metal, Dragon Juice on warranty-sensitive TPO) come in at this step.
Before the truck rolls, we rinse the roof one more time and walk the property to inspect for any spots or missed areas. Anything we find gets treated on the spot. We don’t pack up until the roof passes our own check.
You receive photos of the finished roof. The invoice and payment happen online from wherever you are. We work around your schedule, send everything digitally, and close out the job cleanly.
A few days after the service, we will call you back. This is the “happy call.” It gives you time to actually look at the roof in different light, walk the property, and notice anything worth mentioning. If something needs to be addressed, we get you back on the schedule for a free touch-up.
We back every roof cleaning with a spot-free guarantee. If any spots or missed areas turn up after we leave, we come back and touch them up at no charge.
We offered a two-year roof cleaning warranty in the past, and we’ve replaced it with something more honest. Some Orlando homes (especially those under heavy live oak coverage) re-dirty quickly enough that a calendar-based warranty couldn’t deliver consistent value to homeowners. The spot-free guarantee covers what we control: the quality of the work on the day. A broader satisfaction guarantee covers everything else, so if anything we touched needs attention after the job, we take care of it.
No. We soft wash every roof, regardless of material. No high pressure is ever used on a roof, no exceptions. That applies to asphalt shingle, tile, metal, TPO, clay, and slate.
Roof cleaning is priced per square foot, with the rate set by material. Asphalt shingle starts at 18 cents per square foot for a guttered single-story home. Flat tile starts at 22 cents per square foot. Barrel tile starts at 35 cents per square foot. Metal, TPO, clay, and slate are priced higher and quoted after we confirm material and access.
Most roof cleanings take one to three hours, depending on the size of the roof and the material. Barrel tile and metal generally take longer than shingle because each requires more careful application.
For most roofs, the standard soft wash solution is safe and warranty-compliant. For TPO roofs with warranties that prohibit sodium hypochlorite, we switch to Dragon Juice, a safe degreaser that won’t dry out the rubber seals and won’t void the warranty.
No. We send a “we’re on the way” text with an ETA, send photos when the job is done, and collect payment online by invoice. Most roof cleans don’t require any interior access.
Most Orlando roofs need cleaning every few years. Homes shaded by live oaks or laurel oaks tend to re-dirty faster and may need cleaning sooner. The crew gives honest guidance on the right interval for your specific roof.
We offer a spot-free guarantee plus a customer satisfaction guarantee. A two-year warranty was offered in the past and was replaced with the spot-free guarantee, which covers any spots or missed areas with a free touch-up on the day of the job and after.
Whenever possible, no. Our high-reach soft wash machine sprays nearly four stories from the ground or ladder edge, so on most jobs the crew never steps on the roof. When walking is required, we use sticky-soled boots for traction, and we only walk a metal roof once it’s clean and traction is safe.
We document any visible pre-existing damage (cracked tiles, missing shingle pieces, flashing problems) with photos on the day of the cleaning, before any work begins. You get the photos. If the damage looks significant enough to need repair first, we’ll let you know and recommend addressing it before we move forward.
Yes. We work barrel tile from the ground or ladder edge using a high-reach soft wash machine, spraying each tile from multiple angles to reach both sides of the curved surface. No high pressure, no walking on the tiles, no cracked tile risk.
A clean roof protects your home’s curb appeal and keeps your property in good standing with the HOA. Our crew is ready to handle asphalt shingle, tile, metal, and TPO with a soft wash that’s safe for each material. Call (407) 276-1343 to get on the schedule, or fill out our contact form and we will reach back out to confirm the details.
