Roof Washing / Roof Cleaning
Your roof protects everything underneath it, so The Window Guy will keep it looking clean and performing as designed with a gentle, low-pressure soft-wash. Our process targets the dark “black streaks” and organic growth common in the Mid-South, restoring curb appeal without the risks of high pressure on shingles, tiles, coatings, or flashing. The result: a fresh, uniform roof that complements the rest of your home!
Our team follows manufacturer-recommended, low-pressure methods that protect shingle granules, flashing, skylights, and coatings…with no harsh blasting, ever. We stage protection for landscaping, manage runoff carefully, and carefully inspect our work when completed. Scheduling is flexible and we’re happy to coordinate with HOA guidelines or your realtor’s suggested pre-listing timelines.
We service Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Arlington, Lakeland, Millington, Eads, Brunswick, Rosemark, and Hickory Withe with trained technicians, careful plant protection, and excellent, on-time work.
Why Soft Washing and Not High Pressure? We’re Glad You Asked!
- Roofing Manufacturer-preferred approach: Asphalt roofing manufacturers recommend a low-pressure, bleach-based cleaning method for removing roof algae and moss—not pressure washing. We follow those guidelines to help protect shingle granules and avoid water intrusion.
- Stops the streaks at the source: The dark roof stains many homeowners see are commonly caused by Gloeocapsa magma (blue-green algae). Soft washing treats that growth so stains fade and regrowth slows.
- Protects delicate materials: Soft washing is designed for shingle, tile, and coated metal roofs—where high pressure can damage finishes, dislodge granules, or void expectations from manufacturers.
