Soft-Wash Roof Cleaning
That Protects Your Shingles.

Those black streaks aren't just dirt — they're living gloeocapsa algae eating your roof granules. We use the ARMA-approved soft-wash process to kill the algae at the root and reveal the roof you forgot you had.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters

Black Streaks Are
Costing You Money.

Gloeocapsa magma — the blue-green algae that causes those ugly black stripes — literally eats the limestone filler inside asphalt shingles. Left alone, it shortens roof life by 5–10 years and tanks your curb appeal.

Why It Matters

What Happens When
You Put It Off.

Six things that get worse every month you wait — and every one of them is solved in a single TruShine visit.

Shingle Degradation

Gloeocapsa algae eats the limestone filler in shingles, causing granule loss and premature roof failure.

Lost Property Value

A black-streaked roof reads as "old and tired" to buyers — even if the shingles have 15 years of life left.

Moss Holds Moisture

Moss on the north side of your roof traps water, leading to rot, leaks, and lifted shingles.

Heat Inefficiency

Dirty, dark roofs absorb more heat — which means higher summer electric bills in the Myrtle Beach heat.

Landscape Runoff

Untreated algae runoff stains siding, gutters, and driveways. One roof wash prevents three other problems.

Voided Warranty Risk

Many shingle manufacturers require documented maintenance. A professional wash is your proof.

ARMA-Approved

The Only Way to
Wash a Roof Safely.

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) explicitly warns against pressure washing roofs. We follow their exact recommended method.

  • Low-Pressure Application

    Garden-hose pressure combined with the correct detergent — never high PSI.

  • Dedicated Soft-Wash Pump

    Specialized 12V soft-wash system calibrated to the ARMA standard.

  • Full Landscape Protection

    Every plant, gutter, and downspout pre-rinsed and monitored throughout.

  • Photo Documentation

    Before and after shots plus a written maintenance recommendation.

  • Warranty-Friendly

    Our process satisfies maintenance requirements for all major shingle manufacturers.

Our Process

How We Get
It Spotless.

A repeatable, no-shortcuts workflow we've refined across 100+ jobs on the Grand Strand.

01

Inspection & Assessment

We walk the property (and the roof when safe), identify problem areas, and confirm shingle condition before we touch anything.

02

Landscape Protection

All plants, gutters, and downspouts are pre-rinsed and tarped. We meter every drop that leaves the roof.

03

Soft-Wash Application

Low-pressure sodium hypochlorite solution is applied with a dedicated soft-wash pump — the only ARMA-approved method.

04

Dwell Time

The solution kills the algae at the root. No scrubbing, no walking, no granule loss — just chemistry doing the work.

05

Full Rinse & Re-Rinse

We rinse the roof, the gutters, and every plant a second time to neutralize any residual solution.

06

Transformation Photo Set

You get a before/after photo set the same day — great for HOA proof, neighbors, and realtor files.

FAQ

Good Questions
About This Service.

Yes. Soft washing is the only method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing a roof is dangerous — it blasts granules off your shingles and voids warranties. We only use low-pressure application.
Eventually — Myrtle Beach humidity loves gloeocapsa algae. A proper soft-wash treatment lasts 3–5 years on most roofs. Our Seasonal Plan includes a preventive annual spot-treatment to make it last longer.
Yes. We adjust the solution concentration and dwell time for each roof type. Metal, slate, tile, cedar, and architectural shingle are all in our wheelhouse.
Most single-family roofs fall between $475 and $900, depending on size, pitch, and level of buildup. It's a single investment that typically adds years to your roof's service life.
