Roof Soft Washing in Overland Park, KS

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Those black streaks running down your shingles are gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It holds heat, retains moisture, and shortens roof life. Midwest Pressure Washing removes it with a zero-pressure soft wash that is the only method approved by ARMA, the asphalt roofing manufacturers' association.

Pressure washing a roof is a genuine mistake — it blasts off the protective granule layer, voids most shingle warranties, and can drive water under the shingle courses. Our process applies a roof-safe cleaning solution at garden-hose pressure, lets it dwell, and lets the next rain carry the dead growth away. Streaks disappear without a single hard nozzle ever touching the shingles.

Moss and lichen on shaded north slopes are treated the same way, but they clear more gradually — moss holds its structure for weeks after it dies and then weathers off. We set that expectation up front so nobody is surprised on day two.

Zero pressure ever touches your shingles. That's the only ARMA-approved way to clean a roof.

Before we spray, we saturate all landscaping and turf below the roofline, cover or divert downspouts where needed, and continuously rinse the surrounding gutters, siding, and hardscape. Cedar shake, metal, and tile roofs each get an adjusted solution strength.

A clean roof visibly resets the age of a house and protects the single most expensive component of it. For Overland Park and Leawood homeowners preparing to list a property, roof soft washing plus a house wash is the highest-return pairing we offer.
