Our Work
Roof cleaning the right way
Fast, but it costs you shingle life
Gentle on shingles, hard on algae
Free, in person · no trip fee · we come to you
No surprises, straight answers
No high pressure ever touches your roof. We use low pressure and the right cleaner, so the granules that protect your shingles stay put.
We wet down your landscaping before and after and rinse as we go. That keeps the cleaner off your plants and protects them while we work.
High pressure grinds the protective granules off and can drive water under the shingles. The soft wash lifts the algae without the damage.
We kill the algae at the root, not just rinse the surface. That means it comes back slower, though no roof stays clean for good.
Keep pets inside while we treat the roof and until the rinse dries. We water down the yard so the cleaner stays diluted and off the grass.
Yes, fully licensed and insured. That matters most when there is a ladder up against your house, so you are covered the whole job.

Questions, answered
Yes, we service Elgin and all the newer subdivisions out that way. A lot of those roofs are still young but already streaking on the shaded side, and we clean them right.
Plan on it about every about every year-and-a-half to two years, sooner on the shaded north slopes where algae takes hold first. We kill it at the root, so it comes back slower between washes.
That is the shaded slope, usually the north side. It stays damp longer, so the algae feeds and spreads there first while the sunny side stays cleaner.
We fade what we can and bring the color back even. We tell you up front if any spots may not fully lift, so there are no surprises.
We stay off the shingles where the job allows and work from a ladder or the ground. Walking shingles is dangerous and can loosen the granules.
No. We rinse as we go and wet down the surfaces below, so the cleaner does not sit and stain your siding, walks, or concrete.
What Elgin neighbors say
First time using a company to clean the exterior of our home, because I’m very particular. We could not be more pleased. The cleaning of paint trim, gutters and windows exceeded expectations. The two young men performing the work were exceptionally polite and hard working. We’ll schedule their service again.

The 3 technicians who pressure washed our home today exceeded our expectations, demonstrating dependability and trustworthiness. Most of our interaction was with Connor who was outstanding but Riley and the other young man were impressive too. We also would like to mention that we were impressed with Jaden as he was our initial point of contact and made the sale to us. Keep up the excellent work!

Roof Cleaning in Elgin, the Sandhills gateway
Those dark streaks running down your roof are not dirt, and they are not just age. They are a living algae that feeds on the filler baked into asphalt shingles. It takes hold first on the shaded north slopes, where the sun never fully dries things out. A lot of Elgin roofs are still newer, but the shaded side is already streaking. The fix is a soft wash, low pressure with the right cleaner, that kills the algae at the root. Blasting it with high pressure strips the granules that protect your shingles and shortens their life. We treat it gentle, let the cleaner do the work, and bring the color back even.
Elgin, once called Blaney, sits in the Sandhills northeast of Columbia, straddling the Kershaw and Richland county line. The area covers a fast-growing stretch of newer subdivisions, with brand-new vinyl-sided homes going up across neighborhoods like Woodland Forest, Royal Pines Estates, Spring Village, Wildewood, and the Spears Creek and Pontiac corridor. The condition that drives cleaning here is the sandy Sandhills soil. After a hard rain it kicks tan grit and a gritty film up onto the lower siding, the skirting, and the concrete, and the loblolly and longleaf pines drop heavy pollen on top of it. A lot of these homes are new builds getting their first real wash, on builder-grade vinyl that high pressure can crack. Sesquicentennial State Park and Spears Creek anchor the area, and the growth keeps pushing out along Two Notch Road.
We bring our roof cleaning to Woodland Forest, Rock Branch North, and Royal Pines Estates and the rest of Elgin, with the same crew and the same care.
While we're at your Elgin place, we can knock out your house washing, brick cleaning, and window cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.
Veteran-owned, and we treat your home like it's ours.

Our process, step by step
Here is the full job, start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect.
We check the whole roof, find the shaded slopes where the algae took hold, and spot any soft or loose shingles first.
We wet down your shrubs, flowers, and grass around the house so the cleaner stays diluted and off your plants.
We apply the cleaner at low pressure and let it kill the algae at the root. No blasting, no walking the shingles where we can help it.
We rinse the cleaner down, water the landscaping again, and walk the property with you to make sure it looks right.
