Soft Wash Roof Cleaning for Black Streaks, Algae, and Lichen

Are you looking for roof cleaning in Aledo, TX? Those dark streaks running down your shingles are usually algae, not dirt, and they slowly wear down the shingle surface. Bright & Shiny cleans roofs with a no-pressure soft wash that kills algae, moss, and lichen at the root, so the streaks rinse away and stay away longer, without stripping the granules that protect your shingles.

Here is what to expect. Send a photo of your roof, tell us the roof type and how many stories the home has, and we will send a clear quote. We wet down your plants, apply the cleaning solution from safe footing, and rinse the gutters, siding, and beds when we finish. Many homeowners add gutter cleaning so debris that washes off the roof does not clog the gutters.

Our Roof Cleaning Services

Every roof is different, from a single-story ranch roof in Aledo to a steep two-story roof with dormers. We match the method to your roofing material and pitch. Request a free quote and tell us what you see.

Asphalt Shingle Soft Washing

We soft wash asphalt shingles with no pressure, removing black streaks while protecting the granules that shield your roof from the Texas sun.

Moss and Lichen Treatment

Moss and lichen grip shingles tightly. We treat them so they die back and release over the following weeks, instead of scraping them off and damaging the roof.

Tile and Metal Roof Cleaning

Clay tile, concrete tile, and metal roofs collect dirt, pollen, and mildew too. We clean them with low pressure and a solution suited to the material.

Gutter and Siding Rinse

Runoff from a roof wash ends up in the gutters and on the walls below, so we rinse the gutters, fascia, and siding before we leave.

Why Choose Bright & Shiny for Roof Cleaning?

Roof cleaning should never shorten the life of your roof. We use no-pressure methods, work safely at height, and protect everything below the roofline.

No Pressure on Your Shingles

Pressure washing knocks granules off shingles, so we never use it on asphalt roofs. Learn more about our team and see our recent projects.

Honest Notes on What We See

If we notice lifted or missing shingles, damaged flashing, or worn pipe boots while we work, we send you photos so you can call a roofer. We do not sell roof repairs.

FAQ

Have Questions? We Have Answers!

Here are the questions we hear most from homeowners about roof cleaning.

What are the black streaks on my roof?
They are usually a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and spreads fastest on shaded, north-facing slopes. Soft washing kills it so the streaks rinse away.
How often should a roof be cleaned?
Most roofs in our area need cleaning every 2 to 3 years, depending on shade and humidity. Read why soft washing is the safest way to clean a roof for more detail.
Will pressure washing damage my roof?
On asphalt shingles, yes, it can. High pressure strips the protective granules, can lift shingles, and may void the warranty. That is why we only soft wash roofs. Learn how algae affects your roof and why soft washing helps.
How much does roof cleaning cost?
The price depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the number of stories, and how heavy the algae or lichen is. A photo or a quick look from the street is usually enough for a clear quote.
Do I need to be home during the roof cleaning?
Not usually. We need an outdoor water spigot and access to all sides of the house. Please close windows, and we will text you when we arrive and when we finish.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and grass, rinse them again when we finish, and use the solution at the strength the roof needs. Keep pets inside until everything is rinsed and dry.
Can you clean steep or two-story roofs?
Yes. Tell us the number of stories and send photos, and we will plan the right equipment. On steep roofs we often apply the treatment from a ladder or the ground instead of walking the roof.
How long do roof cleaning results last?
Most cleaned roofs stay streak-free for 2 to 3 years. Shaded roofs under trees may show growth sooner, and regular washing keeps it from coming back as fast.
Will the moss come off the same day?
Algae streaks usually rinse off the same day. Thick moss and lichen die after treatment and keep loosening over the next few weeks, and rain finishes the job.
Can I add gutter cleaning or a house wash to the same visit?
Yes. Many homeowners add gutter cleaning or a full house wash to a roof cleaning, or pair it with our window cleaning maintenance plans so the whole exterior stays clean.
Do you offer roof cleaning in Burleson, Weatherford, or Granbury?
Yes. We clean roofs in Aledo, Burleson, Weatherford, Granbury, Annetta, and nearby communities. Browse every area we serve.
