Roof wash in Gretna

Those black streaks running down the shingles are algae, and they do not rinse off in the rain. Left alone, the growth holds moisture against the roof and keeps spreading.

What this is

The surface decides the method

Roofs never get pressure washed here. Pressure lifts shingles, strips granules, and shortens the life of the roof it was supposed to clean. A roof wash is a soft wash: solution on, growth dies, everything rinses away without force.

Straight talk

If someone quotes you a roof pressure wash, hang up

Pressure strips the granules that are the roof's sun protection, lifts shingle edges, and takes years off the roof it was hired to clean. The damage does not show the day it happens — it shows at the next storm. Here the roof gets solution and a gentle rinse, and the pressure washer stays on the truck.

How it goes

The order of operations is the job

01

Look before anything sprays

The roof gets checked from the ground and up close. Surface and condition decide the approach.

02

Apply the solution

Cleaning solution goes on at low pressure and kills the algae, moss, and lichen where they attach.

03

Let it work, rinse gently

The solution does the cleaning. No pressure tip touches a single shingle at any point.

04

Walk the perimeter

The roofline gets checked from every side before the job is called done.

Asked about this one

Straight answers

Will washing damage my shingles?

Not the way it is done here. Roofs get soft washed only — low pressure and solution. Pressure washing a roof is what causes damage, and that never happens on our jobs.

Do the streaks come back?

Algae is alive and Louisiana weather feeds it, so eventually growth returns — faster on shaded roofs under trees. When it starts showing again, call or text 305-542-3435.
