tiled roofs
why have your tile roof cleaned?
Soft washing is the safest and most effective method for cleaning Florida’s barrel tile roofs. Using low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions, it removes algae and mold without cracking tiles or damaging the roof’s underlayment—a risk that comes with high-pressure washing.
Barrel tile roofs, especially the clay and concrete styles common in Florida, can last 50 years or more with proper care. But to reach that lifespan, they need regular maintenance—like soft washing every few years—to prevent moss and algae buildup that can weaken tiles and eventually cause leaks.
Why do so many Florida homes have barrel tile roofs?
Because they’re perfect for our climate! Barrel tiles help insulate your home and protect it from wind and storm damage.
But here’s the catch—if you don’t have them cleaned regularly, mold, bacteria, and algae will build up. Instead of reflecting sunlight like they’re designed to, dirty tiles absorb heat, which raises your attic temperature and drives up your energy costs.
A clean roof not only lasts longer, but also keeps your home cooler and more efficient.
