Roof Soft Washing

Why And When Should You Clean Your Roof?

The dark black streaks on your roof aren’t only unattractive to the eye but they could be bringing up your electricity bill in the spring summer and fall! The black stains can attract sunlight, causing your roof to heat up and transfer heat to your attic. This will cause your entire house to heat up as well over time, causing higher internal temperatures. Let Benjamin’s Power Washing LLC bring your utility costs down, and bring your roof back to life in Merrimac, Georgetown or Newburyport, MA!

Not only does cleaning your roof help with utility bills, eliminating the moss, mold, grime and lichen safely will improve the look of your home.

Benefits of Professional Roof Soft Washing

Regular roof soft washing is one of the best ways to protect your investment and maintain your home’s appearance. Unlike pressure washing, which can damage shingles and roofing materials, soft washing uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, moss, mold, lichen, and other contaminants. Some of the key benefits of professional roof soft washing include:

• Extends the Life of Your Roof – Harmful organic growth can trap moisture and accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials. Soft washing removes these contaminants before they cause long-term damage.
• Improves Curb Appeal – Black streaks, stains, and moss growth can make an otherwise beautiful home look neglected. A clean roof instantly enhances the appearance of your property.
• Prevents Costly Repairs – Routine cleaning helps identify and address potential issues before they become major roofing problems, saving you money in the long run.
• Boosts Energy Efficiency – Dark algae stains can absorb heat and increase roof temperatures. Removing buildup may help your roof reflect sunlight more effectively.
• Protects Your Home’s Value – A well-maintained roof contributes to the overall value of your property and creates a positive impression for visitors and potential buyers.
• Provides Longer-Lasting Results – Professional soft washing doesn’t just remove surface stains, it eliminates the organisms causing them, helping keep your roof cleaner for a longer period.

At Benjamin’s Power Washing, we use proven soft washing techniques to safely restore your roof’s appearance while protecting the integrity of your roofing system. Whether you’re dealing with black streaks, moss growth, or years of accumulated grime, our team can help keep your roof looking its best.

The Cleaning Continues After Our Visit

We do not rinse our chemicals after cleaning the shingles because the PH of rain is 5.6, while our cleaning solution is around 11. Because of the PH in rain being slightly acidic, it helps reactivate our soap solution, this gives a second cleaning action!

We use Eco-friendly products and very low pressure so there is no damage to plants or the roof. Don’t wait until you see the mold and moss to give us a call; let us fix the problem before it starts.

Please don’t take a chance with even low pressure power washing on the roof. Always go with a professional who offers NON pressure roof soft washing. Contact us today to schedule your soft wash cleaning!
