Professional roof cleaning in Naples
Roof Cleaning for your Naples property
The barrel tile roofs common through Naples streak black within a couple of wet seasons, and walking them to scrub is exactly how tile cracks. We soft wash instead, killing the algae at the root so the roofline stays clean well past the next rainy season.
Naples, FL at a glance
Naples sits right on the Gulf, and its upscale neighborhoods - from Old Naples and Port Royal to Pelican Bay and the golf communities inland - all fight the same coastal enemies: salt air, humidity, and sun. That combination feeds algae and mildew on stucco, tile roofs, pool cages, and paver lanais faster than almost anywhere in Florida. Regular soft-washing keeps Naples homes looking the part without the risk high pressure poses to delicate finishes.
From the historic streets of Old Naples out to Port Royal, we keep waterfront homes standing up to the same salt spray that batters the rebuilt Naples Pier.
Storefronts and walkways downtown get held to the polished standard shoppers expect along Fifth Avenue South.
The tropical humidity that grows black algae on local stucco is the same climate feeding the collections at the 170-acre Naples Botanical Garden.
How we get roof cleaning right
Those black streaks running down Southwest Florida roofs are Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that our heat, humidity, and daily summer rain feed relentlessly. It shows up fastest on the barrel and flat concrete tile that tops most homes from Pelican Bay to Marco Island, staining light-colored roofs within a year or two. We never pressure wash a roof. Instead we soft wash, applying a controlled cleaning solution at low pressure that kills the algae and lichen at the root, then rinse gently so nothing cracks a tile or strips the granules off shingle. On tile especially, walking and blasting does real damage, which is why the soft-wash approach is the standard here. Homes west of Tamiami Trail in Port Royal and Aqualane Shores, where salt air accelerates the growth, tend to need this every one to two years to keep the roofline clean.
Every Naples job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
