Roof Washing
Protect and Enhance Your Home with Expert Roof Cleaning
In our region, the heat, humidity, and wet conditions create the perfect environment for mold, mildew, lichen, algae, and other fungi to thrive. These organisms are particularly problematic on residential roofs, where they can significantly impact the longevity and appearance of your home.
Why Roof Cleaning is Essential
Most residential roofs are shingle-based, and these shingles often contain limestone fillers to add weight and durability. Unfortunately, limestone also serves as a food source for algae, mold, and moss. When these fungi feed on the limestone, they accelerate the deterioration of your shingles, shortening the lifespan of your roof.
Maintaining a clean roof is crucial for extending its life. If mold, mildew, and moss are allowed to grow unchecked, they can lead to premature roof replacement. Although modern shingles typically come with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty, many homeowners find themselves needing a new roof in as little as 12 years due to inadequate maintenance. Furthermore, insurance claims for roof replacements are increasingly being denied when proper maintenance, such as regular cleanings, is not documented.
Beyond the practical benefits, a clean roof enhances your home’s curb appeal. Regular roof cleaning not only preserves the beauty of your home but also saves money by preventing early roof replacement. Sticking to a regular 5-year roof cleaning plan is a smart financial decision that can extend the lifespan of your roof and protect your investment.
Our Professional Roof Cleaning Process
At Pristine Clean, we prioritize the safety of your home and our team during the roof cleaning process. Here’s how we ensure a thorough and safe cleaning:
- Preparation and Protection: We begin by protecting all gardens and plants around your home to prevent any potential damage from cleaning solutions. We thoroughly saturate the area with water, which helps dilute any cleaning solutions that may fall onto the ground. This pre-saturation minimizes the impact of any overspray and ensures that it does not harm your landscaping.
- Custom Cleaning Solutions: Our cleaning detergent application is carefully tailored for each job. We mix proprietary cleaning agents to the precise strength needed for your roof. This custom approach ensures that the solution is effective yet gentle enough to avoid damage.
- Low-Pressure Application: Using a low-pressure pump, we apply the cleaning solution to your roof. This method delivers the solution at a pressure equivalent to about half of rain or a standard sprinkler system, reducing the risk of leaks, shingle granule loss, or structural damage.
- Solution Application and Soaking: The cleaning solution is allowed to rest on the roof and soak into the surface, targeting mold and fungi at the root. We apply a full coat to the entire roof and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes, then revisit to spot-treat any missed areas.
- Final Rinsing: After the solution has had time to work, we perform a low-pressure, high-volume rinse from the ground. This step ensures that all mold, algae, dirt, and grime are thoroughly washed away, and provides us with an opportunity to verify the effectiveness of our work.

Is Your Home Truly Protected Without Regular Roof Cleaning Services in Metairie?
When was the last time you looked closely at your roof? In Metairie’s warm, humid climate, roofs are constantly under attack from mold, algae, moss, and lichen. These organisms do more than just stain your shingles—they can quietly eat away at the materials protecting your home. At Pristine Clean, LLC, we believe roof cleaning isn’t just a service—it’s essential home maintenance.
Why Routine Roof Care Is a Smart Choice
Shingles Are Vulnerable: Most residential roofs use shingles that include limestone fillers. While this adds strength, it also feeds harmful organisms like algae and mold, which break down the shingles over time.
You Could Be Replacing Your Roof Too Soon: Even with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty, many roofs in our area need replacement after only 12 years due to unchecked fungal growth and weather exposure.
Insurance May Not Cover You: Insurance companies are starting to deny roof claims if homeowners can’t show proper maintenance. A history of professional roof cleaning could protect your claim.
Looks Matter: A stained, streaked roof can make an otherwise well-kept home look worn down. Clean shingles boost your curb appeal and protect your investment.
It’s More Affordable Than Replacement: Sticking to a regular 5-year cleaning plan is a budget-friendly way to delay major roof work and keep your home in top shape.
How We Deliver Reliable Roof Washing Services NOLA Trusts
Your Landscaping Comes First
Before we begin, we carefully soak and shield all surrounding plants and garden areas. This preparation helps ensure that no cleaning solution damages your landscaping.
Tailored Cleaning Mix
No two roofs are alike. We blend our proprietary cleaning solution to suit the condition and type of your shingles, ensuring maximum effectiveness with zero damage.
Gentle, Effective Application
We use a low-pressure system—gentler than rain—to apply the solution. This eliminates moss, mold, and algae without dislodging granules or compromising the roof’s structure.
Deep Soak, Full Coverage
The cleaning agent is allowed to rest for 20–30 minutes to thoroughly break down dirt and organic matter. Missed areas are spot-treated until the roof is fully clean.
Final Rinse From the Ground
A low-pressure, high-volume rinse washes everything away safely. We do this from ground level to avoid damaging the roof further, while ensuring a thorough clean.

Not only does it extend the life of your roof, but it also guards against premature replacement, denied insurance claims, and costly repairs.
