Roof Cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens

Roof cleaning in Palm Beach Gardens is its own specialty — and it starts with the roofs themselves. The Gardens is dominated by barrel tile and flat concrete tile on the estate communities (PGA National, Old Palm, BallenIsles, Mirasol, Frenchman's Creek) and architectural shingle on the family neighborhoods around Evergrene, Alton, and The Gardens Mall. Each one needs a different touch, and none of them should ever see high pressure.

The black streaks you see running down Gardens roofs are Gloeocapsa magma — an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and the porous surface of concrete tile. It's not just ugly; left alone it shortens roof life and most HOAs here will cite you for it. We treat it with a soft-wash system: a low-pressure application of cleaning solution that kills the algae, mold, and lichen at the root rather than blasting it off. Blasting tile cracks it and voids warranties; blasting shingle strips the granules that protect it. Soft wash is the only method we use, and it's the method tile and shingle manufacturers actually endorse.

Palm Beach Gardens has two things that make roof algae worse than average: heavy tree canopy and irrigation overspray. The mature oak and ficus canopy over older Gardens neighborhoods keeps roofs shaded and damp — perfect algae conditions — and drops organic debris that feeds growth in the valleys and around chimneys. On golf-course lots, irrigation overspray keeps the north and east roof faces wet well into the morning. We pay special attention to those shaded, north-facing slopes because that's where streaking always starts here.

We also protect what's below the roof. Gardens homes are landscaped to the hilt, and soft-wash solution has to be handled carefully around the tropical plantings, hedges, and lawns these communities are known for. We pre-wet and rinse landscaping, tarp where needed, and never let runoff sit. A clean roof shouldn't cost you a flowerbed.
