Roof Cleaning in Melbourne, FL | Brevard County

Roof Cleaning for Florida Homes & Businesses

Those black streaks on your roof are not just ugly — they are Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and actively shortens roof life. Pressure washing can void your warranty and blast granules off shingles. Surf & Shine uses the ARMA-recommended soft wash method to safely remove algae, mold, and lichen from any roof type without causing damage.

Roof Cleaning FAQs

Will roof cleaning void my shingle warranty?

No — as long as we use the soft wash method, which is what asphalt shingle manufacturers recommend. High-pressure washing can void warranties; soft washing does not.

How often should I clean my roof in Florida?

Most Florida roofs need cleaning every 1-2 years due to the humid climate and algae growth rate. Beachside properties may need annual cleaning.

Can you clean tile roofs too?

Yes. We clean concrete tile, clay tile, metal, and asphalt shingle roofs. Each surface type gets the appropriate technique and solution.

Is pressure washing safe for a shingle roof?

No. High pressure strips the granule layer off asphalt shingles and voids most manufacturer warranties. The method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association is low-pressure soft washing with a sodium hypochlorite solution. Tile needs extra care around mortar joints and ridge caps, which crack under pressure, and metal takes a lower chemical concentration.
