At Veterans Southern Pro Wash LLC, we believe in truth, transparency, and total property protection.
Every week, we meet homeowners and business owners who were told by roofing contractors that their roofs needed replacement, when in reality, they simply needed professional roof cleaning.
Let’s be honest, why would a roofing company tell you that your roof just needs cleaning when they can sell you a full replacement? The reality is, most of those dark streaks, stains, and discoloration are not damaged at all, they’re caused by roof algae known as Gloeocapsa Magma. This organic growth feeds on the limestone filler in shingles, creating black streaks that trap heat, accelerate wear, and destroy curb appeal.
What most roofing contractors won’t tell you is this:
Your roof can often be restored for a fraction of the cost of replacement, safely, effectively, and without any damage.
The Truth About Roof Algae
Industry studies show that the majority of roofs are replaced prematurely, not because they’re leaking or damaged, but because of unsightly surface stains. In most cases, a roof replacement can cost 10x more than a professional cleaning.

ROOF SOFT WASHING IS RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE BY THE ASPHALT ROOFING MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (ARMA)
In many regions of the United States, especially throughout the Southeastern U.S., roof algae has become a serious and widespread issue for both homeowners and business owners. The primary cause is Gloeocapsa Magma, an airborne algae that can settle on virtually any roofing system, often without warning. While roof algae can appear anywhere, it is more prevalent in areas with heavy tree coverage and warm, humid climates, such as Gadsden, Alabama and surrounding communities. This algae typically first appears on the north-facing slopes of roofs, where shade and moisture persist longer throughout the day. Once established, it feeds on the crushed limestone filler used in asphalt shingles. As rainwater moves across the roof, the algae spreads downward, creating the familiar black streaks seen on many roofs.
Without proper maintenance, roof algae will:
Roof algae does not die naturally, nor does it wash away with rain. Once present, it must be professionally treated and removed to stop continued growth.
This is where low-pressure (no-pressure) roof cleaning becomes essential for safe and effective removal.
When roof algae is left untreated, it interferes with a roof’s ability to reflect heat from the sun’s UV rays.
As a result, roofing materials absorb excess heat, which can:
Over time, untreated algae contributes to physical deterioration, including:
In addition to structural concerns, roof algae significantly reduces curb appeal and property value, making homes and commercial buildings appear neglected, even when the roof itself is still structurally sound.
Once roof algae has landed, it must be exterminated at the root level. Surface rinsing or high-pressure washing is ineffective and often damaging.
Low-pressure roof soft washing:
When performed correctly, professional roof cleaning restores appearance, improves performance, and protects your investment, without the risk associated with pressure washing.

Pictured above is an Algae growth map showing where algae is most prominent and the level growth.
One of the most overlooked yet critical home maintenance services is roof washing. Your roof absorbs constant exposure to sun, heat, moisture, wind, and airborne contaminants every day. Without proper roof maintenance, this exposure can significantly shorten the lifespan of your roofing materials. With professional roof soft washing, you can add years of service life to your roof, restore its appearance, and protect your investment, without damage.
A neglected roof doesn’t just age faster; it becomes an eyesore that reduces curb appeal and property value.
The black discoloration seen on many roofs is not dirt. It is a living organism known as Gloeocapsa Magma, a hardy, airborne algae that feeds on the limestone filler used in asphalt shingles.
Roofs are not “dirty”, they are often infected with microorganisms. These organisms actively decompose roofing materials, reducing shingle strength, accelerating granule loss, and shortening roof lifespan.
At Veterans Southern Pro Wash, we aim to protect your home and your family by using a low-pressure roof soft washing process specially designed to eliminate harmful organisms without damaging roofing materials. This method lasts 4–6 times longer than traditional pressure washing and is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).
✔ Will not void roof or home warranties rather it helps preserve it
✔ Safe for shingles, tile, metal, and other roof systems
✔ Environmentally responsible cleaning solutions
All roof cleaning services include a two-year guarantee, with zero risk of shingle or material damage.
Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, roofing manufacturers began to incorporate crushed limestone into asphalt shingles. When combined with warm, humid Southeastern climates, this limestone creates the perfect nutrient source for algae growth.
Once established, roof algae:
If algae is not treated using the correct low-pressure roof cleaning process, it will continue to spread and compromise the roof’s performance.
This is why we exclusively use ARMA-approved cleaning detergents, solutions, and Processes
If you’ve experienced roof algae once, it will return without ongoing care.
We recommend preventative roof maintenance every 1–3 years, depending on:
Delaying maintenance allows algae to become more deeply embedded, making removal more difficult and increasing service costs over time.
