Roof Cleaning in Knightdale, NC
Gentle Soft Wash Cleaning That Protects Your Shingles & Extends Roof Life
Professional Roof Cleaning That Protects Your Investment
Black streaks, moss, and algae aren't just cosmetic issues—they're actively damaging your roof. These organic growths feed on your shingles' limestone content, trap moisture, and accelerate deterioration. Reimagine Pro Wash specializes in safe, effective soft wash roof cleaning throughout Knightdale, Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, and Clayton.
Unlike dangerous high-pressure washing that strips protective granules and can void manufacturer warranties, our soft wash method uses low-pressure application and professional-grade cleaning solutions to eliminate organic growth at the source—safely and thoroughly.
- Shingle-Safe: Low-pressure cleaning preserves granules and integrity
- Kills at the Root: Eliminates algae, moss, and lichen completely
- Extended Lifespan: Protect your investment and delay replacement
- Warranty-Safe: Method approved by major shingle manufacturers
- Improved Efficiency: Clean roofs reflect heat, reducing cooling costs

Roof Cleaning FAQs
Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?
Not at all! Our soft wash roof cleaning method is specifically designed to protect your shingles. We use low-pressure water (under 100 PSI) combined with professional cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, and lichen at the root—without the damaging force of high-pressure washing that can strip granules and void warranties.
What are those black streaks on my roof?
Those black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in your shingles. Not only does it look unsightly, but it also retains heat and moisture, accelerating roof deterioration. Our soft wash treatment eliminates the algae and prevents rapid regrowth.
How often should I have my roof cleaned?
We recommend professional roof cleaning every 2-3 years for most homes in Knightdale and the Triangle area. However, homes with heavy tree coverage or in shaded areas may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Regular cleaning extends your roof's lifespan and maintains your home's curb appeal.
Is roof cleaning safe for my landscaping?
Yes! We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping. Before we begin, we pre-wet all plants and use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions. Our experienced team ensures runoff is managed properly to keep your lawn, plants, and landscaping healthy and undamaged.
Can roof cleaning extend my roof's lifespan?
Absolutely! Regular soft wash roof cleaning removes damaging organic growth that degrades shingles, traps moisture, and voids warranties. By eliminating algae, moss, and lichen, you protect your investment and can add years to your roof's functional life—saving thousands in premature replacement costs.
