Roof Moss and Algae Cleaning

Gentle roof cleaning that removes moss, lichen and dark algae streaks without damaging shingles, plus tips to slow their return.

Tennessee's humidity and shade trees are a perfect home for algae, moss and lichen. Dark streaks make a roof look old, and moss can lift shingles and hold moisture against the surface. Owners in Nashville call us to clean roofs gently and safely, without the high pressure that can strip granules and shorten roof life.

We begin with a Free Estimate and inspect the roof for moss, algae and underlying damage. We apply cleaning solutions designed for roofs, let them work, rinse gently at low pressure and protect plants and gutters. We also remove debris from valleys and suggest trimming overhanging branches and installing zinc or copper strips to slow regrowth. If shingles are failing, we tell you that cleaning will not restore them. We always inspect before we clean, because cleaning a roof that is worn out will not make it last longer. If we see failing shingles, we say so and explain your options. When a roof is in good condition, a gentle cleaning can improve its appearance and remove moisture-holding growth, and a few simple steps like trimming branches can help keep it cleaner.

Low pressure only

High-pressure washing can strip granules, so we use gentle methods designed for roofing.

Plants protected

We wet and cover landscaping and rinse thoroughly when we finish.

Prevention tips

Sunlight, airflow and metal strips can slow regrowth, and we explain what helps.

Honest results

Cleaning improves appearance and surface health, but it cannot repair worn shingles.
