Roof Cleaning - Soft Wash
Northern VA - Washington DC

Have you observed dark patches and streaks on your rooftop? Those patches and streaks are actually due to a specific type of algae spores known as Gloeocapsa Magma, which is not only alive but also rapidly multiplying! These algae can spread swiftly, resulting in dark spots and streaks. The presence of roof algae, in combination with moss and lichen, can rapidly decrease the longevity of your shingles. These algae spores are transported from one rooftop to another via the wind, birds, and small animals. Unfortunately, the situation is only going to get worse!

Your shingles provide an ideal habitat for these spores to grow, initially attacking the asphalt at the granule base. Once the granules become detached, rapid deterioration is imminent. But don't worry, GoTech Roofig can eliminate the algae and bacteria that lead to rooftop stains, and aid in restoring your roof shingles back to their original state.

Our tested approach is not just effective in eradicating the unsightly black streaks that are diminishing your home's curb appeal, but also in exterminating the algae, lichen, and mold that are attacking your roof. We can clean and treat your stained and infested home or business roof using a completely safe, soft wash chemical cleaning method. Our procedure lasts four to six times longer than conventional pressure washing, without stripping away any of the granules from the shingles or voiding the roof's warranty.

Our method, endorsed by the Asphalt Roof Manufacturer's Association (ARMA), has safely cleaned over 70,000 roofs in the last three decades. Why should you consider spending up to ten times more on replacing a roof that still has a good number of serviceable years left, when you could simply have it securely restored to its original beauty and functionality?

We provide soft washing services for all types of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, roof tiles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, and slate. We always use minimal pressure and never resort to power washing roofs. This approach is the only one recommended by ARMA for cleaning and restoring roofs without causing any damage.

Are algae and bacteria tarnishing the aesthetic appeal of your home? Our tried-and-tested roof cleaning techniques can help you eliminate unattractive stains and restore your home's brilliance!

1. Blue Roof Algae: This variety causes black streaking, concealing the protective granules on your shingles.
2. Green Roof Algae: In its early stages, this algae appears black and then evolves into a green shade on lighter roofs.
3. Green Moss: This type is thick and spongy with a stronger root system than algae, spreading effectively due to its robust root system.
4. Lichen: This form displays as white spots and strands and is essentially moss in its infancy.
5. Fungus and Shingle Mold: These are minuscule microscopic spores that settle on your roof, spreading by feeding on your roof's materials.

We reside in a region that's heavily affected by roof algae staining. The culprit is the limestone filler in your roof shingles. Fortunately, we have a solution at hand. The Asphalt Shingle Manufacturer Association (ARMA) endorses a periodic cleaning method that is cost-effective and can eliminate those unpleasant stains, restoring your shingles to their initial appearance.

Roofs, which should ordinarily have a lifespan of 25+ years, are being replaced as early as 12-15 years due to cosmetic concerns. This is the reason why up to 50% of roofs in the DC Metro Area are replaced needlessly when a thorough cleaning would have sufficed. We're eager to spread this message: Don't squander your money on a new roof just because of stains and aesthetic issues. We can make those disappear in a few hours for just a fraction of the cost of a new roof!

Your shingles offer an ideal habitat for spores to grow, with the attack starting at the asphalt at the granule base. Once the granules become dislodged, rapid deterioration is imminent. But worry not, as GoTech Roofing can eliminate the algae and bacteria causing roof stains, helping to restore your roof shingles to their original state.

Our roof cleaning teams utilize the latest and most innovative low-pressure roof cleaning techniques. The process begins with safeguarding and covering your residential or commercial landscaping. We then moisten your property to initiate the cleaning process. Following this, our expert team applies a cleaning solution to your shingles, ensuring every single one is thoroughly soaked until the soft wash chemicals starts to flow.
