Columbia, SC Soft Wash Roof Cleaning

Gentle on Your Roof, Tough on Algae

Locally owned Pressure Washing Service serving the Columbia-Lexington, South Carolina Region

Remove Black Streaks From Your Columbia Roof the Safe Way

Columbia's older neighborhoods are shaded by mature oaks and pines, and those shaded roofs are usually the first to show black algae streaks. Our roof soft washing service treats the problem, not just the stain. A low-pressure application kills algae and moss down to the root, and a gentle rinse leaves your shingles clean, intact, and protected. Your roof gets its color back, and your Columbia home gets its curb appeal back with it.

Midlands Softwash provides expert residential and commercial exterior cleaning throughout Columbia, SC and Lexington, SC. We specialize in pressure washing, soft washing, and power washing, along with dedicated house washing and window cleaning — ensuring your home or business looks its best while extending the life of your exterior surfaces.

Our Roof Cleaning Process for Columbia Homes

Here is how our soft wash process removes algae and moss while keeping your roof and plants safe.

1. Roof Inspection

We start with a walk-around to check your roof's condition, spot the heaviest algae and moss growth, and note anything you should know about before we begin.

2. Landscaping Protection

Before any solution touches your roof, we pre-wet and protect your plants, shrubs, and nearby surfaces so your landscaping stays healthy from start to finish.

3. Soft Wash Application

Our biodegradable cleaning solution is applied at low pressure, never a pressure washer. It gets to work breaking down algae, moss, lichen, and the black streaks they cause, killing growth right down to the root.

4. Gentle Rinse and Final Walkthrough

We rinse the roof, gutters, and landscaping, clean up the property, and walk the job with you. Some stubborn streaks keep fading over the next few days, especially after a good rain, as the solution finishes its work.
