Roof Cleaning in Holland, MI
Those black streaks on a roof are Gloeocapsa magma — a hardy algae that feeds on shingle limestone and shortens roof life. High pressure destroys shingles; the only safe fix is a low-pressure soft wash with the right solution that kills the algae without ever walking a pressure washer across your shingles.
Why Holland homes need soft-wash roof cleaning
Holland's lakeshore humidity drives heavy algae and roof streaking — from the historic homes downtown to the newer builds toward Macatawa — and the lake-effect moisture means siding and roofs green up faster than inland.
We're based in Wyoming, MI — about 30–35 minutes southwest, on the lakeshore. Every job is plant-safe and matched to the surface: low pressure and a cleaning solution where high pressure would do damage. You get a flat-rate quote up front from a single photo, so there are no surprises.
How soft-wash roof cleaning works in Holland
- Text a photo of the roof and we quote it flat-rate, usually the same afternoon.
- We protect landscaping and downspout outlets before we start.
- We apply a soft-wash solution that kills the roof algae and the black streaking at the source.
- We let it work and rinse gently — never high pressure on shingles.
- The streaks clear and the algae is killed, which slows regrowth and protects the shingle granules.

Does pressure washing damage a shingle roof?
Yes — high pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles and voids many manufacturer warranties. That's exactly why we soft-wash roofs: a low-pressure solution kills the algae without harming the shingles.
What causes the black streaks on my roof?
It's an algae called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and spreads down the shaded slopes. A soft wash kills it at the root so the streaks clear and regrowth slows.
