What we deliver

Complete roof soft wash services

Clear Home soft-washes residential and light-commercial roofs across Greater New Orleans. We remove black algae streaks, green mildew, and lichen with chemistry and low pressure never high-pressure washing that voids shingle warranties.

01

Low-pressure soft wash

We clean at pressures under 150 psi with professional surfactants the only method major shingle manufacturers approve for algae removal on asphalt and tile.

02

Louisiana algae & mildew

Gulf Coast humidity feeds Gloeocapsa magma and mildew on north-facing planes and under oak canopy. We treat the biology, not just rinse the stains.

03

Granule-safe chemistry

Sodium hypochlorite blends at roof-appropriate strength, dwell time controlled, then a gentle rinse that leaves protective granules intact.

04

Landscape protection

Beds and shrubs are pre-soaked, downspouts managed, and landscaping post-rinsed so cleaning solution does not burn plants in Louisiana heat.

FAQ

Common questions

01Is soft washing safe for my asphalt shingles?
Yes when done correctly. Soft wash uses low pressure and algae-killing surfactants. High-pressure washing strips granules and shortens shingle life; we will not use it on your roof.
02What causes the black streaks on Louisiana roofs?
Most black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae. It thrives in humidity, feeds on limestone filler in shingles, and spreads faster on north-facing and tree-shaded planes exactly what Greater New Orleans homes see.
03How often should I soft wash my roof here?
Most metro New Orleans homes benefit every 2–3 years; heavily shaded properties under live oaks may need it every 18–24 months. We can put you on a maintenance reminder after the first clean.
04Will soft washing damage my landscaping?
We pre-wet plants, use controlled runoff, and rinse beds after the job. On sensitive gardens we adjust chemistry strength and use additional barriers tell us what is planted below the eaves.
05Is the estimate really free?
Always free, always no-pressure. We inspect pitch, access, and algae coverage, then give a line-item quote before we schedule the wash.
