Those black streaks down your roof are a living organism, not dirt — and blasting them with pressure takes the granules off your shingles with them. We use low pressure and the right solution, so the roof gets clean and stays intact.
Different roofs and different growth need different handling. Here's what we take on and how we approach each one.
The most common roof around Tipp City and the one most easily ruined by high pressure. We apply low-pressure solution, let it work, and rinse gently.
Those dark vertical runs are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles. Scrubbing won't fix it — it has to be killed at the source.
Moss holds water against your shingles and lichen roots into the surface. Both need treatment and patience rather than force, or you pull granules off with them.
Metal panels and standing seam take a different solution and a gentler touch to avoid stripping finish or spotting the coating.
The band where roof meets gutter collects the worst of it. Cleaning the roof and that whole edge together is what makes the difference visible from the street.
We wet down and cover plantings before anything goes on the roof, and rinse the surrounding beds after. Protecting the yard is part of the job, not an afterthought.
Roof cleaning is the same low-pressure method we use on siding — see soft washing in Tipp City for the full picture, or bundle it with gutter cleaning in one visit.
Real jobs, photographed the day we did them — no stock photos, no filters.
No mystery. Here's exactly what happens when you call A Team:
Tell us the roof material and the home's height. We'll ask a couple of questions and give you a straight quote.
Shingle, metal, and heavily mossed roofs all get handled differently. We look before anything comes off the truck.
Beds get wet down and covered, windows get rinsed. This happens before a drop of solution reaches the roof.
The solution does the cleaning, not force. It needs dwell time — rushing this is how roofs get damaged.
Full rinse of the roof and everything below it, then before-and-after photos so you can see it from the street.
Roof washes start at $499. Where your job lands depends on the factors below — send a photo through the estimator and we'll give you the exact number before we start.
Square footage matters, but so does steepness — a steep roof takes longer to treat safely and carefully.
Light streaking on a five-year-old roof is a very different job than a north face carpeted in moss.
Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile each need a different approach, solution strength, and rinse method.
Single story with clear perimeter access is straightforward. Two-story with tight landscaping takes more setup.
Heavy plantings right against the foundation need more protection time before and more rinsing after.
Roof, gutters, and siding on the same visit costs less than three separate trips out to your property.
