Our Work
How we clean it
Fast on the day, costly down the road
Gentle on the shingle, hard on the algae
Free, in person · no trip fee · we come to you
No surprises, straight answers
No. We soft wash at low pressure, so there is no hard blasting to grind the granules off the shingles. The cleaner does the job, not the force, which is what keeps that protective layer intact.
That is algae feeding on the filler in your shingles. It loves the damp, shaded slopes. We kill it at the root so it fades and comes back slower.
The moisture off Lake Murray and the pine shade sit on that slope longest. Damp feeds the algae, so the lake side and north side streak first.
We soak your beds and plants first, then rinse them down after. The cleaner gets watered out before it ever settles on anything green.
We work from a ladder or the ground wherever the job allows. Staying off the roof is safer for us and saves your granules from foot traffic.
Rust is a different stain that a soft wash will not lift. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not fully come out.

Questions, answered
Yes, we service Chapin and the lakefront roofs all around the north shore of Lake Murray. The lake-facing slopes are exactly the ones we know how to handle.
Out here by the lake, the damp and pine shade bring the algae back, so most homes want it about every about every year-and-a-half to two years. Lake-facing slopes may show first.
High pressure strips the granules that protect your shingles and means walking a slick roof. A soft wash cleans without that risk to your roof or our crew.
Killing the algae at the root means it grows back slower than a surface rinse. The lake moisture never quits, though, so it will return in time.
Yes, when it is done right. We soak your beds before and rinse them after, so the cleaner is watered down well before it can touch anything green.
Rust and stains like it are not algae, so a soft wash will not fully lift them. We fade what we can and tell you up front what may not come out.
What Chapin neighbors say
Roof Cleaning in Chapin, the Capital of Lake Murray
Those black streaks running down your roof are a living thing. They are a hardy algae that feeds on the filler in asphalt shingles, and it takes hold on the damp, shaded slopes first. Out here on Lake Murray, the moisture comes straight off the water and the pine shade holds it there, so the lake-facing and north sides streak the worst. High pressure looks like the fast fix, but it blasts off the protective granules that make your shingles last. Walking a wet roof is dangerous, and it grinds the same granules underfoot. So we soft wash instead. We use a gentle cleaner that kills the algae at the root and rinses clean, and we work from a ladder or the ground wherever the job allows.
Chapin calls itself the Capital of Lake Murray, sitting on the lake’s north shore in the Dutch Fork part of Lexington County. The town is built around the water: lakefront homes with docks and boathouses, lake-area subdivisions like White Rock, Lake Point, Ballentine Landing, and Milmont Shores, and newer family neighborhoods such as Green Valley Estates and Spring Hill that have filled in fast as Chapin has grown. The constant moisture coming off Lake Murray, along with heavy pine pollen and shade, keeps algae and mildew coming back on the lake-facing and north sides of these homes, and lakefront living means a lot of decks, pool decks, and boat-adjacent concrete to keep up. Crooked Creek Park is the town rec hub, and Dreher Island State Park reaches out into the lake. Homes range from newer vinyl in the growing subdivisions to older places near the original Chapin downtown.
In Lake Point, Dutchman Shores, and Night Harbor, or anywhere else around Chapin, we come to you for roof cleaning, no trip fee.
While we're at your Chapin place, we can knock out your house washing, brick cleaning, and window cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.

Our process, step by step
Every step is built to fade the streaks while protecting your shingles and the plants below. Here is how the day goes.
We soak your beds, plants, and the landscaping below the roofline so the runoff has somewhere safe to go before any cleaner comes down.
We work from a ladder or the ground wherever the job allows, reaching the streaked slopes without walking the shingles and grinding the granules.
A low-pressure cleaner goes on the algae and is given time to work. It kills the growth at the root instead of just rinsing the top.
We rinse the roof gently and rinse your plants down again. Then we look over the slopes and tell you straight what lifted and what did not.
