Soft Wash Roof Cleaning – Red Butte Cove, Fort Wayne, IN

At this home on Red Butte Cove in Fort Wayne, we tackled a roof heavily affected by black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that thrives on asphalt shingles. Using our soft wash method — a safer alternative to high-pressure washing — we treated and rinsed the entire roof to lift years of organic buildup without damaging the shingles.

This method is not only more effective for long-term results but also preserves your roof’s integrity. After a few good rains, the remaining dead algae will wash away completely, leaving the roof visibly brighter and cleaner.

We recommend roof cleanings every 1–2 years to prevent buildup and extend roof life, especially in shaded areas or neighborhoods like this one where algae growth is more common.
