ROOF CLEANING & SOFT WASHING IN WOOSTER, OHIO

Absolutely. Soft washing is specifically designed to be safe for roofs. We use under 300 PSI (about the pressure of a garden hose) combined with professional algaecides, rather than the 3,000+ PSI of pressure washing that can damage shingles. This method is safe for all roof types common in Wooster—asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, metal, and tile—and won’t void your roof warranty. This method is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association and is safe for your roof.

With soft washing, your Wooster roof should stay clean for 3-5 years, depending on shade exposure and tree coverage. Roofs with heavy tree coverage (common in mature Wooster neighborhoods) may see growth return in 3-4 years, while roofs with more sun exposure can stay clean for 5+ years. We kill algae at the root level, so results last much longer than pressure washing alone.

The actual roof cleaning treatment may take a couple hours or a full day. It really depends again on the size of your roof and how bad the organic growth is. As far as how long it takes for your roof to look clean again? Very light staining will be gone the same day. If you happen to have heavy organic growth on your roof, we would recommend treating it and letting that treatment and the weather remove that heavy moss growth over time. It can take 30-60+ days depending on how built up the moss is. Using a soft bristle brush and/or a scraper is an option if you want to get that heavy growth off faster but we are very clear that doing so runs the risk of damaging your shingles by removing shingle granules. We are happy to discuss your options with you when we visit you for a quote.

Again we are skeptical of any “warranties” in this industry due to the fact that we are battling against mother nature. But here again we have a 110% satisfaction guarantee. And our promise with our roof softwash treatments is that we will come back any time in the first 36 months after treatment and re-treat any new moss growth at no charge! And if you schedule us back for a new roof cleaning quote between 36-60 months after initial treatment, we will offer you 50% off that quote!

Wooster is a Tree City USA community with heavy mature tree canopy throughout many neighborhoods, especially in areas like Oak Hill and around Christmas Run Park. This creates constant shade on roofs, particularly on north-facing slopes. Combined with Northeast Ohio’s humid climate, these conditions are perfect for algae and moss growth. The black streaks you see are Gloeocapsa Magma algae, which thrive in Wooster’s environment.

No, you don’t need to be home. We’ll do a walk-around before starting, protect your property, complete the cleaning, take before/after photos, and text them to you. Many Wooster homeowners prefer to be away during service. Payment can be collected when you return, or we can invoice you.

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal for roof cleaning in Wooster. Spring cleaning removes winter buildup before summer growth accelerates. Fall cleaning prepares your roof for winter and takes advantage of cooler working conditions. We work year-round in Northeast Ohio, but avoid freezing temperatures when cleaning solutions are less effective.
