Roof Soft Washing
Avoid the hassle & expense of a new roof.
Reverse the damage with soft washing!
Do you notice black streaks and moss on your roof? Summers on Long Island are generally hot and humid, which is a perfect haven for organic growth such as Lichen, Moss and a black streaky bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma.
Often most noticeable in the shaded north sides. No need to worry, our specialized roof wash will wipe out all Lichen, Gloeocapsa Magma and any organic growth without harming your roof. Low pressure ensures no damage occurs to the shingles. We use only the approved method recommended by roof manufactures for proper roof cleaning.
Remove Gloeocapsa Magma "Black Streaks”
Gloeocapsa Magma is a airborne bacteria that colonizes on your roof shingles causing damage and unsightly curb appeal. After significant growth, black streaks will show and now is the time for a treatment before permanent staining occurs. The bacteria feeding on the limestone filler within the shingle and their black covering is naturally blocking UV rays thus holding moisture and promoting the growth of Moss and Lichen. When you schedule your roof treatment, our technicians will evaluate and eradicate the issues to restore the original luster and curb appeal of your home.
Moss and Lichen Remediation
The appearance of Moss and Lichen often occurs after the sight of Gloeocapsa Magma. Growth of Moss and Lichen are not only unsightly but they are shortening the lifespan of your roof! They collect blowing debris and stop drainage, holding moisture and preventing drying. This can quickly degradiate the shingles and diminish the longevity of the roof. Their roots anchor firmly to the granules and often lift the edges of the shingles up. Our Soft Washing technique and proprietary roof treatment formula kills Moss, Lichen and Gloeocapsa Magma gently without causing more damage by scrubbing or pressure washing. You can expect the black streaks to immediately disappear while Moss and Lichen will turn white and fall off within the coming weeks.

Soft washing is the only way to safely and effectively eradicate Algae, Moss Lichen and Bacteria without harming the roof. Our technicians clear your roof from debris and delicately treat your roof without damage.

Gutter Cleaning
A gutter cleaning service removes leaves, dirt, roof litter and twigs from gutters and downspouts. Water flow ensures water drains away from your home so every gutter is flushed with water. Benefits include prevention of water damage to fascia boards, the homes foundation and avoiding mold, algae and mosquito growth due to stagnant water blockage. During maintenance, the cleaning technicians utilize standoff stabilization ladders to ensure safety and to prevent denting or bending of gutter systems. Debris are bagged and gutters are rinsed inside and out.
Can we protect vegetation?
We take every effort to protect your vegetation. We water before, during and after treatment. In some cases, we will cover plants with plastic.
Do areas need to be cleared?
Yes. Please remove all small items from the deck, porch or patio. Hanging plants and anything hanging on the siding should also be removed. Also, any cushions or umbrellas should be moved so there is no damage to them. The rest of the items can be moved by us as needed. We always try to put them back in the same place.
