Roof Cleaning Services in Florida
Roof cleaning in Florida removes the black streaks, moss and lichen that algae leave on tile and shingle roofs. Fast Pro soft washes at low pressure, never blasts the surface, gives you a free quote first, and walks the job with you before we leave.
Florida's roof problems, and what causes them
Heat, dew and shade grow the same things on most Florida roofs. Here are the six we see most.
Black streaks on shingles
Those streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) calls it probably the most prevalent roof discolorer and says it is most widespread in the Gulf States.
Dark patches on tile
Tile maker Eagle Roofing says algae and mildew on tile are mainly cosmetic and don't compromise the tile. Boral says growth feeds on accumulated dust and organic material.
Moss and lichen
Moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof and are harder to remove than algae. Tell us what you see and we will plan for it.
Stains on shaded slopes
GAF's technical bulletin says algae spreads on airborne spores and lives off dew, and it favors slopes that stay damp longer, such as north-facing ones.
Debris in valleys
Leaves and pollen collect in valleys and behind vents, hold moisture and feed growth. We clear them as part of the job.
Streaks that come back
Spores arrive on the wind, so growth can return after any cleaning. We will tell you what to expect on your roof.
Every roof type on a Florida home
Soft wash only, with the method set by the roof material.
Asphalt shingle
Never pressure washed. A low-pressure cleaning solution kills the algae without stripping granules.
Concrete tile
Soft wash with water pressure kept under the tile maker's limit.
Clay tile
Soft wash after a test spot. Clay is brittle, so we keep weight and force low.
Metal roofs
Soft wash. Metal-roof makers set their own limits, and we follow them.
Flat and low-slope roofs
Call and describe the roof. We will tell you what method fits before we quote.
Vents, flashing and skylights
We work around them at low pressure so seals and flashing stay put.
Roof cleaning built around Florida weather and Florida roofs
A Gulf Coast climate gives algae what it wants: warm air, heavy dew and shade. ARMA says Gloeocapsa magma is most widespread in the Gulf States, so black streaks are common here, not a sign of a neglected roof.
Our rule is to use the gentlest method that works. Shingle makers say not to use a power washer. Tile makers give a pressure ceiling. Either way the job is a soft wash, applied at low pressure and left to work.
We also tell you plainly what cleaning can't do. It removes stains. It does not fix missing shingles, cracked tile or granule loss.
Warm, humid air
The Gulf climate keeps algae growing for much of the year.
Tile roofs are common
Concrete and clay tile need low pressure and a crew that knows where to step.
Dew and shade
Slopes that stay damp longer show growth first.
Age matters more than stains
Florida insurers weigh roof age and remaining life. Cleaning removes stains but doesn't change age, so ask your agent what they need.

Will cleaning fix your roof?
Cleaning removes growth. It can't repair damage.
Cleaning will help
- Black streaks on shingles
- Algae stains on tile
- Light moss and lichen
- A roof that is otherwise sound
Cleaning won't fix
- Missing or curling shingles
- Granule loss
- Cracked or broken tile
- Active leaks
If we see damage, we will tell you rather than clean over it. Call us and describe it.
What goes into a Florida roof cleaning quote
We quote every roof by phone, because a lightly streaked shingle roof and a mossy tile roof are different jobs. These are the factors we weigh.
Roof size and pitch
Square footage and slope set the base price. Steep roofs take longer.
Roof material
Tile, shingle and metal each call for their own method.
How much growth
Light streaks are a short job. Heavy moss takes more time and solution.
Access and landscaping
Stories, trees and shrubs below the roof change the setup.
Call for a free quote. Tell us the surface, the size and the problem. We will explain the price and the method before any work starts.
Call 813-536-7337Scheduling and coverage
Do you serve all of Florida?
We work across the state, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Central Florida, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, the Gulf Coast and the Panhandle. Call with your address and we will confirm coverage and the soonest opening.
How soon can you come out?
Call early in the day and we will give you the soonest slot we have. We will tell you plainly if the schedule is full.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not stop an exterior job. Storms and high wind do. We reschedule at no charge and let you know the same day.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as we can reach the exterior and an outdoor spigot. Please close windows, move cars and bring in small items.
Methods and safety
Is roof algae harmful?
ARMA describes the discoloration as cosmetic. Heavy growth still looks bad and can hurt resale, and we will tell you honestly what we see on your roof.
Will you pressure wash my shingle roof?
No. ARMA and GAF both say not to, because pressure can strip the granules. We soft wash with a low-pressure solution.
Is cleaning safe for a tile roof?
Yes, when it is done at low pressure. Eagle Roofing gives a 1,200 psi ceiling for concrete tile. Tile also breaks under foot traffic, which is why you should leave it to an experienced crew.
Is it safe for my plants and gutters?
We wet plants before and after, cover what needs covering and rinse the gutters and ground below when we finish.
Pricing, insurance and guarantee
Does cleaning void my roof warranty?
None of the manufacturer pages we read says soft washing voids a warranty, but terms vary. Check yours, and call us if you want help reading it.
Will cleaning help with insurance?
Florida insurers weigh roof age and remaining life more than stains. Cleaning won't change age, so ask your agent what they require.
How long until the algae comes back?
Spores travel on the wind, so growth can return. How fast depends on shade, moisture and the roof material, and we will tell you what we see.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Florida?
It depends on size, material, how much growth or buildup there is and how easy the site is to reach. Call for a free quote and we will explain which of those drive your price.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Fast Pro Pressure Washing is licensed and insured. Ask for proof of insurance with your quote and we will send it.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If something does not look right after the job, contact us and we come back to fix it at no charge.
