Roof Washing done right in Durham

A roof is the last place you want high pressure. We apply a low-pressure treatment that kills the algae and moss on Durham roofs and rinses clean, which is the method shingle makers actually approve.

The streaks are not dirt and they will not rinse off. They are a living colony feeding on the shingle. That is why they come back after every rain and why they keep spreading. Killing the growth is the only fix that holds.

A roof is the most expensive surface on the building and the one people put off longest. Streaks make a Durham roof look finished when it often has years left in it. A soft wash costs a fraction of a replacement and buys back both the look and the time.

Why Durham calls us

What you get

Photos when we finish

You cannot see most of your roof from the ground, so we show you.

Paperwork for the inspection

If a report or an insurance letter flagged the roof, you get before and after images you can send back.

Off the roof wherever possible

Every step taken on a shingle costs it something. We work from ladders and the ground where the pitch allows.

No granule loss

Soft washing protects the shingle surface and your warranty.

Streaks gone, not hidden

We treat the algae so it does not come right back.

How it works

Our Roof Washing process

1

Inspect the roof

We check pitch, material, and the worst growth.

2

Apply treatment

A soft wash solution goes on to kill algae, moss, and lichen.

3

Gentle rinse

We rinse at low pressure so nothing tears loose.

4

Protect the ground

We rinse gutters and beds so runoff stays clean.

Pricing

What roof washing costs in Durham

Roof washing in Durham prices off roof size, pitch, and how much growth has taken hold. A simple single-story roof goes quickly. Steep pitch, several planes, or heavy moss takes more time and more care.

Questions

Roof Washing in Durham, answered

What about the plants under the eaves?
We soak them before, keep them wet through the job, and rinse them after. That is standard on every roof we do.
Can you clean a metal or tile roof?
Yes. We adjust the process for asphalt, metal, and tile so each one gets cleaned safely.
Will roof washing void my warranty in Durham?
No. We use the low-pressure soft wash method shingle makers recommend, so your Durham roof and its warranty stay protected.
How soon can you come out?
Most Durham jobs get scheduled inside a week. Same-week and weekend slots open up often, so it is worth asking.
Do you give free quotes in Durham?
Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Call (919) 698-3669 or send a few details and we will get you a real number.
Local

Why we know Durham

Durham has the oldest housing stock we work on. The neighborhoods around Duke and downtown are painted wood, original brick, and full mature oak canopy, which means shaded walls green up early and gutters fill with more than pine straw. Almost none of it wants pressure. We soft wash the siding, hand-clear the gutters, and keep the wand off anything original.

Durham has been on our list since 2010. It is the north-west corner of our range, it sits in Durham County, and we know which streets green up first.

Commercial

Roof Washing for Durham businesses

Durham commercial work splits three ways. There is the Research Triangle Park side, where it is office and lab buildings judged on entrance glass and walkways. There is downtown and the tobacco district, where restored brick and restaurant patios sit right on the sidewalk. And there is the medical corridor around Duke, where patient entrances hold a standard of their own.

Commercial work runs on your schedule, not ours. We can clean before you open or after you close, we carry full insurance and can send a certificate to your property manager, and we are certified through the NC HUB program as a woman-owned business if that matters to your vendor list.
