Roof soft washing that won't damage your shingles
Those dark streaks on a roof are usually algae. Pressure washing can strip shingle granules and shorten your roof's life, so we use a low-pressure soft wash that cleans without the damage.

Suzanne Martin · Pressure Washing
Chase came through for us on this pressure washing job with little notice, fair pricing and a terrific end result. His attention to detail, commitment to high standards and overall friendly, professional demeanor are somewhat rare in business today. It is noticed and appreciated. I’d definitely recommend First Response for your home services needs. This 53 year old concrete patio is looking great again. Thank you!

More exterior cleaning questions →Is pressure washing safe for every surface?
No. Georgia humidity makes algae, mildew and grime build up quickly, but maximum pressure isn’t right everywhere. Concrete driveways and walkways can usually handle pressure washing. Roofs and most siding need a low-pressure soft wash instead.
We match the method to the surface.
Is it safe to pressure wash a shingle roof?
No. High pressure can strip granules and shorten a roof’s life. We use soft washing, which cleans with low pressure and the right solution.
How long does a soft wash last?
Results often last a few years, depending on shade, trees and moisture around your home.
