Gentle, shingle-safe roof cleaning that lifts black streaks and buys your roof years.
"We contracted with HoneyBee Window Cleaning to clean our complete home. They were very professional they arrived on time and completed the job perfectly. Our roof had not been cleaned in over 15 years it now looks like new. The siding and windows look as though they are new. Caleb and Abbie are very professional and knowledgeable about their business. You want find a better company to do work for you. James Goodman"
Those dark streaks running down your roof aren't dirt — they're algae feeding on the limestone filler in your shingles. Left alone, the algae spreads, holds moisture against the shingle, and shortens the life of the entire roof. A roof replacement is one of the most expensive things a home will ever need.
We clean roofs the way the shingle manufacturers recommend: soft washing, never high pressure. High pressure strips the protective granules and voids warranties. Our low-pressure soft wash lifts the black streaks, moss, and lichen, treats the algae at the root, and extends the life of the roof you already paid for.
Gloeocapsa magma algae eating the limestone in your shingles. It spreads every season it's left alone — and it never goes away on its own.
Moss holds moisture directly against the shingle and pries at the edges as it grows. We treat it at the root and let it release — no scraping.
Lichen bonds to the shingle surface and takes granules with it if it's torn off. A proper soft-wash treatment treats it so it lets go on its own.
Algae and moss shorten shingle life. Cleaning from $400 versus replacing a roof years early is the easiest math in home maintenance.
Anyone offering to pressure wash your shingles is offering to damage them. Manufacturers specify soft washing — it's the only method we use up there.
A streaked roof reads as 'old roof' to every buyer who pulls up. A soft wash resets that impression for a fraction of a repair credit.
Low-pressure soft washing only — the method shingle manufacturers actually recommend. Your granules and warranty stay intact.
Runoff is managed and plants are pre-wet and rinsed. What comes off your roof does not end up damaging your shrubs.
While we're up there we note loose shingles or trouble spots and tell you straight — we clean roofs, we don't sell them.
$1M liability coverage, licensed, owner-accountable. Never let uninsured labor on your roof.
Roof washing is dry-weather work, so spring through fall is the main season — and the solution needs time on the shingle, so we schedule around rain. If your roof is streaked now, book ahead: dry weekends go first, and the growth compounds every season it waits. Get your instant quote →
The right roof equipment is defined by what it can't do: it physically can't blast the granules off your shingles.
Our Southeast Softwash system tops out at a fraction of pressure-washer force. The solution does the lifting; the rinse is gentler than a hard rain.
Roof algae takes a stronger mix than siding. The manifold dials it in precisely — strong enough to treat the growth at the root, controlled enough to manage the runoff.
Purpose-built soft-wash guns with no metal internals, so the application stays even and predictable across every course of shingles.
Plants pre-wet, gutters rinsed, and what comes off the roof managed the whole way down — protecting the landscaping is half the job.
Priced by roof size and pitch — always low-pressure and shingle-safe.

Roof washing starts from $400, priced by roof size, pitch, and how much growth needs lifting. Your instant quote gives an exact figure in about a minute.
The same dedicated soft-wash system we use on siding, dialed for roofs: a Southeast Softwash pump applying the solution at under 300 PSI — a pressure washer never touches your shingles — with the mix metered stronger for roof algae than for siding, and the runoff managed so your gutters and landscaping are protected. It is the method asphalt-shingle manufacturers recommend.
No — we use low-pressure soft washing, never a high-pressure power washer. High pressure strips the protective granules and can void your shingle warranty. Soft washing is the method asphalt-shingle manufacturers actually recommend.
That is algae — Gloeocapsa magma — feeding on the limestone filler in your shingles. It spreads over time, holds moisture against the roof, and shortens shingle life. Soft washing treats it at the root and lifts the staining.
Yes. Algae, moss, and lichen hold moisture and degrade shingles from the surface down. Removing them and treating the root slows that decay — a clean from $400 is a fraction of the cost of replacing a roof years early.
Most roofs benefit from a soft wash every two to three years, sooner if you live under heavy shade or see streaks returning. Catching it early keeps the growth from getting established.
Yes. Moss and lichen take root in the shingle and need a proper soft-wash treatment to treat and lift without prying at the shingles. We treat them at the root so they do not simply grow back.
Yes. We protect and pre-wet the landscaping below and manage the runoff carefully throughout the job, so your plants, lawn, and gutters are looked after start to finish.
