Roof Soft Wash FAQs
Is soft washing safe for all roof types?
Yes, soft washing is the recommended cleaning method for most roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, tile (clay/concrete), and metal, as it avoids the damage caused by high pressure.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last much longer than pressure washing because soft washing kills the organisms at the root. Depending on environmental factors (shade, moisture), results can last 3-5 years or more.
Are the cleaning solutions safe for my plants?
We use biodegradable solutions and take precautions to protect your landscaping, including pre-wetting plants and rinsing thoroughly after application.

Are Ugly Stains Ruining Your Roof?
Those black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma algae), green moss, or splotchy lichen aren't just eyesores – they are actively harming your roof! These organisms feed on roofing materials (like the limestone filler in asphalt shingles), retain moisture, and can shorten your roof's lifespan significantly. High-pressure washing can damage shingles and void warranties.
Davis Bros Home Care Specialists uses a **Soft Wash** system. This low-pressure cleaning method applies specialized, biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely kill 100% of the organic growth at its root. It's then gently rinsed away, leaving your roof clean and undamaged, restoring its appearance and helping it last longer.
