Roof Soft Washing in Alcoa Done Right
Black streaks on Alcoa roofs are algae, and they spread from the shady side across the whole roof if you leave them alone.
Those black streaks on your shingles are algae, and it feeds on the limestone in the shingles. It makes a nice house look old and it shortens the life of your roof. We soft wash roofs with no high pressure at all, which is the method most shingle makers recommend.

We soft wash roofs on homes all over Alcoa with low pressure only, plus metal roofs on shops and outbuildings. Plants get wet down and protected before we start, and everything gets rinsed when we’re done.

Alcoa has a mix of older homes, rentals and busy commercial strips. Homes get the usual East Tennessee mildew and red clay, and businesses deal with gum, grease, tire marks and dirty storefront sidewalks that customers notice on the way in.
How We Do Roof Soft Washing, Step by Step
- Look it over. We check the roof pitch, gutters and what’s below so we can plan the safest way to work it.
- Protect. We soak your plants and landscaping and keep them wet while we work.
- Soft wash. We apply our solution with low pressure to kill the algae, moss and lichen at the root. No pressure washer ever touches your shingles.
- Rinse and clean up. We rinse the gutters, siding, walkways and plants so nothing is left behind.
- Let it finish. Most streaks are gone the same day. Heavy moss and lichen loosen and wash away over the next few rains.
What to Expect
- Before we come: close windows and doors, and move cars, grills and patio furniture out of the way if you can.
- Pets: keep them inside until we’re done and things dry.
- Water: make sure the outside spigot works. That’s all we need from you.
- On the day: we text you when we’re on the way and when we’re done, with photos.
- After: everything is rinsed and ready to use the same day.

Roof Soft Washing in Alcoa: FAQ
Will roof cleaning hurt my shingles?
No. We never use high pressure on shingles. Soft washing kills the algae and lets the rain finish the job.
Can you clean a roof and house the same day in Alcoa?
Yes. A lot of Alcoa customers do both together, and it saves a second trip.
Do you clean storefronts and restaurants in Alcoa?
Yes. Sidewalks, entrances, drive-thrus and dumpster pads, and we can work nights or early mornings so you stay open.
Do you clean rental properties?
Yes. Landlords and property managers use us between tenants or before listing a home.
Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes. We never use high pressure on shingles. Soft washing kills the algae that causes black streaks without knocking granules off.
How long does a roof cleaning last?
Usually a few years. Because soft washing kills the algae instead of just rinsing the top layer, it takes a long time to grow back.
Will the streaks be gone right away?
Most of them disappear the same day. Heavy moss and lichen can take a few weeks and a couple of good rains to fully wash away.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
It’s an algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles and spreads in our humid climate.
