Roof Washing in Albany, NY
Those black streaks and green patches are usually algae and organic growth, and Albany’s shade, moisture, and tree cover make it show up quickly. The wrong approach can damage shingles, so roof cleaning needs to be done with a method built for roofs.
We use a soft wash roof cleaning process that treats the growth, then rinses with controlled pressure. It is a safer way to clean asphalt shingles and many other roof types, especially when you want results without collateral damage.

FAQs
Is roof washing safe for asphalt shingles?
Yes. Soft wash roof cleaning uses low pressure and a roof-safe cleaning solution designed to remove organic growth without the impact damage associated with high-pressure washing.
Do black streaks come back after roof washing?
Black streaks are usually algae. After treatment, regrowth depends on shade, moisture, and nearby trees. Regular maintenance keeps the roof looking clean longer.
How often should I schedule roof washing in Albany?
Most Albany roofs benefit from periodic cleaning based on conditions such as tree cover, roof slope, and how quickly algae returns on shaded areas.
Will roof washing help with moss and lichen?
Yes. Soft wash treatment targets moss and lichen and helps prevent rapid regrowth by addressing the organic source of the staining and buildup.
Do you clean the gutters after washing the roof?
Roof washing can loosen debris. Many property owners pair roof washing with gutter cleaning for a complete exterior refresh.
Do you service properties outside Albany?
Yes. View our coverage area on the service area page and request scheduling through contact us.
