The EXPERTS in Gentle and Effective Roof Softwashing

Safe, Roof Softwashing that is Warranty Complicit

Did you know that incorrectly washing your roof, with regular power washing methods, can void your roof's warranty? Most roof installers adhere to the ARMA standards. As such, cleaning the shingles in any method other than what the specific shingle manufacturer recommends will almost certainly void the warranty. Power washing will void the warranty.


The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer’s Association (ARMA) has ONLY ONE recommendation for proper cleaning of asphalt shingle roofs: the use of concentrated sodium hypochlorite paired with extremely low pressure. This is exactly what Pine State Pro Wash does.

Pine State Will Vanquish Moss, Too


Heavy lichen and/or moss growth is a common issue with neglected shingles that receive little to no sunlight. The moss/lichen attaches its roots to the granules of your shingles and often tucks itself underneath the shingle edge. Forcing the growth off with pressure will most assuredly lift the granules off with the roots of the moss/lichen. The proper method for moss/lichen removal is to kill the plant with the roof cleaning detergents and wait for the plant to die. Once the plant dies, the roots will become brittle and fall off naturally and safely, leaving the shingles safe and clean. Rest assured, this is the ONLY method Pine State uses. roof cleaning garner nc, roof cleaning cary nc

What Happens if You Power Wash a Roof?


Medium to high-pressure cleaning of shingles is cheap, easy, and sure, it looks clean. But the pressure actually forces the granules of the shingles off the tarpaper, and will therefore drastically reduce the effectiveness, and thus the lifespan, of your shingles. Because of this, and to make matters worse, choosing to power wash your roof will likely VOID your roof's warranty. So please NEVER let a contractor power wash your roof, despite the “look” of cleanliness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does roof cleaning usually cost?
It can vary depending on several factors, including the size and pitch of your roof, the amount of organic buildup (like moss, lichen, or algae), and ease of access. On average, homeowners in the Raleigh area can expect to pay between $300 and $600. At Pine State Pro Wash, we provide free, no-obligation estimates, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. Our prices are competitive, and our services are designed to preserve the longevity and appearance of your roof.
Is soft washing really better than pressure washing?
Yes – especially for roofing. Soft washing is not only safer for your shingles but is also the only method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-force water that can strip away protective granules and cause irreparable damage, soft washing uses a specialized low-pressure system combined with cleaning detergents to kill algae, moss, and lichen. Choosing soft washing protects your roof and keeps your warranty intact. That’s why our roof cleaning in Raleigh NC is always done the ARMA-approved way.
How long does a roof cleaning appointment take?
A typical roof cleaning job takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the condition and size of the roof. Heavily infested or neglected roofs may take longer, especially if there’s extensive moss or algae growth. We believe in doing the job thoroughly and correctly the first time – so we never rush. Pine State Pro Wash technicians arrive fully prepared with all the necessary equipment and experience to complete the job safely and efficiently.
What’s causing the black streaks on my roof?
Black streaks are usually caused by a type of airborne algae known as gloeocapsa magma. This bacterium thrives in humid climates like North Carolina’s and spreads quickly from roof to roof. These streaks aren’t just cosmetic – they feed the limestone filler in your shingles and can reduce their lifespan. Our roof cleaning in Raleigh NC is specifically designed to eliminate this problem using our soft wash system, which removes algae completely and helps prevent it from returning.
Can moss really damage my roof shingles?
Absolutely. Moss and lichen attach themselves tightly to your shingles, and their roots can lift the edges and degrade the surface. Using high pressure to remove it can cause even more damage by pulling off shingle granules. At Pine State Pro Wash, we use a soft wash treatment that kills moss at the root. Over time, the moss dries up and falls off naturally, preserving the structure and integrity of your roof without any harsh force.
Why should I choose Pine State Pro Wash?
We bring over a decade of hands-on experience, top-quality equipment, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Our technicians are friendly, fully insured, and trained in the safest, most effective roof washing techniques. When it comes to roof cleaning in Raleigh NC, Pine State Pro Wash stands out for our attention to detail, use of ARMA-compliant methods, and proven results. We treat your home like it’s our own.
How often should I clean my roof?
For most homes, we recommend roof cleaning every 2 to 3 years, depending on the environment around your property. Homes surrounded by trees or in shaded, humid areas may need more frequent service to prevent algae, moss, or lichen buildup. Regular cleaning not only improves curb appeal but also extends your roof’s lifespan.
Is roof softwashing safe for plants and landscaping?
Yes. At Pine State Pro Wash, we take every precaution to protect your property. We pre-wet plants and landscaping, use eco-conscious solutions, and thoroughly rinse surrounding areas after the roof is treated. Our technicians are trained to ensure your lawn, flowers, and shrubs stay safe during and after the cleaning.
What areas do you serve?
We provide services throughout the Triangle area. If you're looking for a dependable roof cleaning in Raleigh NC company, Pine State Pro Wash is your go-to team for professional results and excellent service.
Does roof cleaning help with energy efficiency?
Yes. Algae, moss, and other roof contaminants can cause your roof to retain heat, making your HVAC system work harder. By removing this buildup, roof cleaning helps improve your home’s energy efficiency—especially important during hot North Carolina summers. A clean roof reflects sunlight more effectively and can even lower your cooling bills.
