If you’ve noticed black streaks spreading across your roof, you’re not alone. Almost every Naples homeowner deals with it. The culprit is Gloeocapsa Magma — a cyanobacteria that thrives in Florida’s hot, humid climate. It feeds on the limestone filler in roof tiles and shingles, spreading rapidly and causing the dark streaking you see from the street.
Naples sits in one of the most algae-prone climates in the country. The combination of Gulf Coast humidity, year-round warmth, and frequent rain creates perfect conditions for algae, mold, mildew, and lichen — sometimes within months of a cleaning if the wrong method is used.
Left untreated, roof algae doesn’t just look bad. It traps moisture against your roofing material, accelerating deterioration and shortening the life of your roof by years.
Florida insurers look at roof condition when a policy is written or renewed, often through an inspection that photographs the roof as it looks that day. Algae streaks show up in those photos. We provide written service documentation and before/after photos with every job, so you have a maintenance record to share if your agent or carrier asks.
Black streaks GONE in 1 visit — and they stay gone for 2-3 years.
Soft wash chemistry kills Gloeocapsa Magma at the root, not just on the surface. No high pressure, no tile damage, no voided warranty.

Soft wash uses low pressure (50–150 PSI) — about the same as a garden hose — combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae at the cellular level. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft wash doesn’t just blast the surface — it eliminates the organism at its root so results last dramatically longer.
✅ Soft Wash — What We Use
- Low pressure — zero tile or shingle damage
- Kills algae at the cellular level
- Results can last 24 to 36 months
- Manufacturer and warranty compliant
- Safe for landscaping and pool areas
- No-walk option available on one-story homes without a pool cage
❌ Pressure Washing — What We Don’t Do
- High pressure damages tiles and shingles
- Only removes surface — not the root
- Regrowth within weeks or months
- Voids most manufacturer warranties
- Can blast mortar from tile ridges
- Risk of cracked tiles from foot traffic
Tile Roofs
Concrete and clay tile roofs are porous and absorb algae quickly. Our soft wash solution penetrates the tile surface and kills growth at the root. Our crews use trained foot placement on tile, and we offer a no-walk option on one-story homes without a pool cage.
Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingles are vulnerable to Gloeocapsa Magma algae. High-pressure washing strips protective granules from shingles, shortening their life. Our low-pressure soft wash removes black streaks safely, preserving your shingles and warranty.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs develop algae, mildew, and oxidation staining in Florida’s climate. We use a specially formulated solution that removes growth and oxidation without scratching the surface or stripping protective coatings.

Landscape Protection

Soft Wash Solution Application
Our biodegradable soft wash solution is applied at low pressure (50–150 PSI), covering the entire roof surface evenly and penetrating into porous materials.
Dwell & Kill
The solution dwells on the surface, killing algae, mold, and mildew at the cellular level — not just removing what’s visible on top.
Low-Pressure Rinse
The roof is thoroughly rinsed at low pressure, removing all residue, dead organic material, and cleaning solution.
Documentation & Sign-Off
We provide written service documentation including before and after photos, a record of the roof’s maintenance you can keep with your policy papers.

We provide roof cleaning in Naples FL and throughout Southwest Florida:
Most Naples homes have concrete tile, and concrete tile maker Eagle Roofing has published how it wants its product cleaned. Its guidance is to use water alone where possible, at a pressure that never exceeds 1,200 psi, and to bring in a cleaner only for heavy buildup, diluted as far as it will go and compatible with concrete, since some products can affect the tile’s pH or etch its surface. Eagle also warns that walking a wet roof is difficult and dangerous and recommends a licensed, bonded and insured roofing contractor with tile experience who uses fall protection.
Asphalt shingle roofs fall under different guidance. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association tells owners not to use a power washer, brush or broom on shingles, because scrubbing can loosen and remove the granules. Before we quote a roof, we confirm which material it is, because the right pressure, the right solution and the right footing all follow from that answer.
Citizens Property Insurance publishes its roof-age rules. For soft roofs such as shingle older than 25 years, and for hard roofs such as tile, slate, clay, concrete or metal older than 50 years, it asks for documentation showing at least five years of remaining useful life, confirmed by a Florida-licensed inspector. Homes more than 20 years old also need a four-point inspection covering the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roof. Private insurers set their own standards, and those vary from company to company.
Cleaning does not change a roof’s age. What it changes is what an inspector sees. A clean surface lets cracked tiles, lifted shingle tabs and worn ridge mortar show up clearly, so an owner can have them repaired before an inspection rather than after one.
After a soft wash, results can last 24 to 36 months and stay clean. Where a particular roof lands in that range depends on things we can usually see from the driveway: north-facing slopes and sections under oak or palm canopy stay damp longest, and roof planes that drain onto a pool cage or a lower roof tend to collect leaves and debris that hold water against the surface. Trimming branches back from the roof edge and keeping gutters flowing are the two cheapest ways to stay at the long end.
If a shingle roof is due for replacement anyway, ARMA notes that algae-resistant asphalt shingles are specifically designed to inhibit algae growth for extended periods of time, which is worth asking your roofer about when choosing a product.
