Roof Cleaning by Winter Haven Elite Roofing 


Your roof is not just a protective barrier for your home—it's an investment that requires proper maintenance to perform at its best. Regular roof cleaning is essential for Florida homeowners who want to maintain their property's curb appeal while preventing costly damage. The hot, humid climate of Winter Haven creates perfect conditions for algae, mold, lichen, and moss to thrive on roofing surfaces, causing unsightly black streaks and potentially shortening your roof's lifespan.


Professional roof cleaning removes these harmful organisms along with accumulated dirt and debris that can trap moisture against your roofing materials. Our trained technicians use industry-leading methods tailored to your specific roof type, ensuring effective cleaning without risking damage to shingles, tiles, or metal surfaces. We employ eco-friendly cleaning solutions that eliminate biological growth at its source while being safe for your family, pets, and surrounding landscape.


Beyond aesthetics, a clean roof offers significant practical benefits. Removing algae and mold helps maintain your roof's reflective properties, potentially improving energy efficiency during hot Florida summers. It also helps prevent moisture retention that can lead to rot and leaks over time. Trust Winter Haven Elite Roofing to deliver exceptional results that protect your home and enhance its appearance for years to come.

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

We focus on effective and safe methods to remove dirt, moss, and stains from your roof. Our process prioritizes protecting your roofing materials while ensuring a thorough clean using advanced techniques and environmentally responsible products.

Types of Roof Cleaning Methods

We utilize several roof cleaning techniques tailored to the roof type and condition. These include pressure washing, chemical cleaning, and soft washing.


Pressure washing uses high water pressure to dislodge debris but is limited on delicate roofing like asphalt shingles due to potential damage.


Chemical cleaning involves applying specialized solutions to break down algae and moss. This method requires careful handling to avoid harm to landscaping and roof surfaces.


Our approach always considers the safest and most effective method to preserve your roof’s integrity.

Soft Washing Techniques

Soft washing applies low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning agents. This technique is important for materials sensitive to high pressure, such as asphalt shingles or clay tiles.


We apply a cleaning solution that kills organic growth at the root, preventing rapid regrowth. The process cleans without stripping protective granules or causing surface damage.


Soft washing extends the roof's lifespan by eliminating damaging algae, mold, and moss safely and thoroughly.

Benefits of Professional Roof Cleaning

Maintaining a clean roof provides practical advantages beyond aesthetics. It helps preserve your investment by preventing damage and ensuring your home stays protected from environmental factors common in Winter Haven.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

A clean roof significantly improves your property's appearance. Removing dirt, stains, and debris restores the shingles’ natural color, making your home look well-maintained and attractive.


This is especially important if you plan to sell your home or host guests. A visibly clean roof signals care and attention to the entire property.


We use methods that avoid damaging shingles while effectively clearing moss, algae, and mold. This keeps your roof looking fresh without compromising its integrity.

Extended Roof Longevity

Roof cleaning removes harmful elements that accelerate wear and tear. Algae, moss, and debris trap moisture, which can cause shingles to deteriorate faster.


By eliminating these threats, we reduce the risk of leaks and structural damage. This proactive care can extend your roof’s lifespan by several years.


Regular cleaning also helps identify early signs of damage. Catching problems early means less costly repairs and fewer emergencies.

Protection Against Algae and Mold

Winter Haven's humid climate promotes algae and mold growth on roofs. These organisms not only discolor your shingles but also degrade roofing materials.


Our cleaning process targets and removes these biological threats safely.

This prevents decay and maintains the roof’s protective qualities.


Additionally, controlling algae and mold helps maintain better air quality around your home by reducing spores that can affect health.


We focus on thorough cleaning while preserving your roof’s materials and ensuring long-term protection.

Frequently Asked Questions on Roof Cleaning

We prioritize safety and professionalism in every roof cleaning service we perform. Our team uses strict protocols and quality equipment to protect both our technicians and your property.

  • How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Winter Haven?

    Professional roof cleaning in Winter Haven typically ranges from $300-$700 for most homes. Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, accessibility, and the level of dirt or biological growth present. Larger, steeper, or more heavily soiled roofs generally cost more to clean due to increased labor and materials required. At Winter Haven Elite Roofing, we provide personalized quotes after assessing your specific roof conditions.

  • What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing for roofs?

    Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1500-3000 PSI) to forcefully remove debris, while soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) with specialized cleaning solutions. Pressure washing works for some metal and concrete tile roofs but can damage asphalt shingles by dislodging granules. Soft washing, our preferred method, uses biodegradable algaecides that kill organisms at their roots, providing longer-lasting results without risking roof damage while being effective for most Florida roofing materials.


  • How often should Florida homeowners have their roofs professionally cleaned?

    Florida homeowners should have their roofs professionally cleaned every 1-2 years. Our hot, humid climate creates ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew growth, particularly on north-facing sections. Homes surrounded by trees may require annual cleaning. Regular maintenance prevents damaging biological growth and extends your roof's lifespan. Winter Haven Elite Roofing can establish a custom maintenance schedule based on your specific situation.

  • Can roof cleaning remove black streaks and stains completely?

    Yes, professional roof cleaning can completely remove black streaks and stains in most cases. These streaks are typically caused by Gloeocapsa Magma algae that feeds on limestone in shingles. Our specialized cleaning solutions target and eliminate these organisms at their source. Even long-established stains can usually be fully removed with proper treatment, restoring your roof's appearance and protecting it from further damage.

  • How does roof cleaning prevent damage from Florida's humidity and heat?

    Roof cleaning prevents damage by eliminating organisms that thrive in Florida's climate and retain moisture against roofing materials, accelerating deterioration. These organisms feed on organic materials in shingles, breaking down their protective layers. Regular cleaning removes these threats before causing permanent damage. Additionally, a clean roof reflects more sunlight, potentially improving energy efficiency and preventing heat-related damage, significantly extending your roof's service life despite our challenging climate conditions.
