Soft Wash Only

Bay Area Roof Cleaning — Soft Wash Method, Guaranteed Results

We never use high pressure on roofs. Our soft wash method safely removes moss, algae, and lichen without voiding manufacturer warranties.

Why Soft Wash Only?

High-pressure washing damages roofing materials — it strips granules from asphalt shingles, cracks tile, lifts flashing, and voids manufacturer warranties. Willow Wash exclusively uses low-pressure soft wash technology that lets biodegradable cleaning solutions do the work. The result: a completely clean roof with zero material damage.

How It Works

Our Process

1

Roof Inspection

Visual inspection from the ground and roof access point. Identify moss, algae, lichen, damage, and areas of concern.

2

Property Protection

Cover landscaping, pre-water plants, and protect any exterior surfaces below the roofline.

3

Soft Wash Treatment

Apply biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure. The solution kills algae and moss at the root. Gentle rinse follows.

4

Final Inspection

Inspect the entire roof from multiple angles. Document results. Walk you through the completed work.
