Cape Coral
Roof Cleaning in Cape Coral, FL
Cape Coral is mostly shingle roofs, and shingles are the one roof you must never pressure wash.
How we do it
The soft wash process
- Step 1
Protect the ground
Plants, turf and pool areas below the roof line are soaked with water first and rinsed again after.
- Step 2
Low pressure application
The cleaning solution goes on at low pressure and is given time to work on the algae.
- Step 3
Gentle rinse
The roof is rinsed at low pressure and the walls, windows and landscaping below are rinsed down.
A pressure washer on a roof strips the granules off shingles and can crack tile. We never do it. Low pressure and the right solution clean the roof, and the ground around the house is protected before anything goes on the roof.
Most Cape Coral homes were built with asphalt shingle roofs, and after Irma, Ian and Milton a lot of them have been replaced, some with metal. Shingles are where the black algae streaks show the most, and they are also the surface a pressure washer damages fastest, because it strips the granules that protect them.
So shingles only ever get a low pressure clean from us: the cleaning solution kills the algae, a gentle rinse carries it away, and the lanai, pool and plants below are protected the whole time.

FAQ
Roof Cleaning in Cape Coral, FL: questions
Can you clean a shingle roof without damaging it?
Yes. We never pressure wash shingles. A cleaning solution at low pressure removes the algae without stripping the granules.
Do you clean metal roofs in Cape Coral?
Yes. Metal roofs get the same low pressure treatment and a thorough rinse.
What causes the black streaks on my roof?
An airborne algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It is common across the Gulf Coast and grows on the shady, damp parts of a roof.
Do you pressure wash roofs?
No. Pressure can strip shingle granules and crack tile. We clean roofs with a solution at low pressure, which is what the roofing industry recommends.
