Roof Cleaning in Central Arkansas

Those dark black streaks on your roof aren’t dirt — they’re a living organism called Gloeocapsa magma that’s actively eating your shingles. American Services AR removes algae, moss, lichen, and black streaks from roofs across Central Arkansas using the ARMA-recommended soft wash method: low pressure, professional-grade cleaning chemistry, and zero risk to your shingles or warranty. We clean roofs correctly — without pressure washing, which can strip granules and void manufacturer warranties.

Common Roof Problems in Central Arkansas

Arkansas’s warm, humid climate makes it one of the fastest states in the country for algae and moss growth on roofs. Gloeocapsa magma spores travel through the air and colonize shingles quickly — especially on north-facing slopes and areas shaded by trees. Untreated, this growth retains moisture against shingles, accelerating granule loss and shortening roof life by years. Many insurance companies now require clean roofs to maintain coverage. Regular roof cleaning protects your investment and keeps your home looking its best.

How We Clean Your Roof

  • Pre-treatment — We wet gutters, downspouts, and surrounding landscaping before applying any chemistry
  • Solution application — Biodegradable soft wash solution applied at low pressure to all affected areas
  • Dwell time — Chemistry kills algae, moss, and lichen at the cellular level (15-20 minutes)
  • Low-pressure rinse — Roof rinsed at safe pressure that removes dead organisms without disturbing granules
  • Gutter flush — Gutters flushed clean of all wash residue
  • Final inspection — We confirm complete coverage and results before leaving

Roof Cleaning FAQ

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?

Not when done with the soft wash method we use. High-pressure washing does damage shingles — it strips granules and voids warranties. Our low-pressure soft wash method is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and is safe for all standard asphalt shingles.

How long will the results last?

Soft wash roof cleaning results typically last 2-4 years in Central Arkansas’s climate. Adding zinc strips after cleaning can extend results by inhibiting future growth.

Will the chemicals harm my gutters or plants?

We pre-wet and protect all landscaping before treatment and flush gutters after. Our biodegradable solutions are safe for gutters, downspouts, and landscaping when handled correctly by a trained technician.

Can I clean my own roof?

Roof cleaning involves working at heights, handling chemical solutions, and managing runoff — all of which carry real risks. Professional roof cleaning is faster, safer, and produces better results. The cost is typically less than a roofing repair caused by improper DIY pressure washing.
