Roof Soft Wash in Owasso, OK
A no-pressure treatment that kills the black streaks (an algae called gloeocapsa magma) and rinses them away. It's the low-pressure approach roofers use to avoid stripping shingle granules.
What we do
Those black streaks running down your roof are a hardy algae called gloeocapsa magma. Pressure washing knocks it off, but it also strips the protective granules off your shingles and shortens the life of the roof.
Soft washing treats the algae with a solution that kills it at the root, then rinses. No pressure on the shingles, no walking damage, and the streaks don't come right back the way they do after a pressure wash.
What's included
- Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile
- Kills algae, moss, and lichen
- No granule loss, no high-pressure damage
- Gutter faces rinsed at the same time

Questions about roof soft wash
Isn't pressure washing bad for a roof?
Yes, which is why we don't do it. High pressure strips the granules that protect asphalt shingles. Soft washing cleans without that damage, which is why roofers favor it.
What are the black streaks?
An algae called gloeocapsa magma. It feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and spreads as dark stains, usually worst on the shaded, north-facing slopes.
How long do the results last?
Because soft washing kills the algae rather than just blasting the surface, the streaks stay gone noticeably longer than they do after a pressure wash.
