Roof Cleaning Services in Conway, AR | Serving Central Arkansas
Those dark black streaks on your roof are not dirt — they are Gloeocapsa magma, a living cyanobacteria actively consuming your shingle granules. American Services AR removes algae, moss, lichen, and black streaks from roofs across Central Arkansas using the ARMA-recommended soft wash method: low pressure, biodegradable chemistry, zero granule loss, and no warranty voiding. Serving Conway, Little Rock, and surrounding communities since 2015.

Pressure washing a roof strips granules and voids your shingle warranty. High-pressure roof washing is one of the most damaging things you can do to asphalt shingles — it blasts away the granule layer that protects against UV and moisture, accelerates aging by years, and is explicitly prohibited by most shingle manufacturers. The ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) recommends soft washing only. That is the only method we use.
Our Roof Cleaning Process
1
Pre-Treatment & Protection
We pre-wet gutters, downspouts, and all surrounding landscaping before applying any chemistry to prevent runoff damage.
2
Soft Wash Application
Biodegradable solution applied at low pressure to all affected roof surfaces — algae, moss, lichen, and black streaks are targeted at the cellular level.
3
Dwell & Kill
Chemistry dwells 15–20 minutes, killing organisms completely at the root so they don’t regrow within weeks like surface-only treatments.
4
Low-Pressure Rinse & Gutter Flush
Roof rinsed at safe pressure that removes dead organisms without disturbing granules. Gutters flushed clean of all wash residue before we leave.
Before & After — What We Deliver
🏚️BEFORE
Gloeocapsa magma black streaks spreading across shingles — shingles absorbing extra heat
🏠AFTER
Soft wash kills algae at the root — streaks gone, shingle life extended
Not with the soft wash method we use. High-pressure washing does damage shingles — it strips granules and voids warranties. Our low-pressure soft wash method is recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) and is safe for all standard asphalt shingles.
How long will the results last?
Soft wash roof cleaning results typically last 2–4 years in Central Arkansas’s climate. Adding zinc strips after cleaning can extend results by inhibiting future algae and moss growth — we offer this as an optional add-on.
Will the chemicals harm my gutters or plants?
We pre-wet and protect all landscaping before treatment and flush gutters thoroughly after. Our biodegradable solutions are safe for gutters, downspouts, and landscaping when handled correctly by a trained technician.
Can I clean my own roof?
Roof cleaning involves working at heights, handling chemical solutions, and managing runoff — all of which carry real risks. Professional roof cleaning is faster, safer, and produces better results. The cost is typically far less than a roofing repair caused by improper DIY pressure washing or a fall.
Do insurance companies care if my roof is dirty?
Yes — many insurance companies now require clean roofs to maintain coverage or renew policies. Untreated algae and moss retain moisture against shingles, accelerating granule loss and shortening roof life. A clean roof protects both your warranty and your insurance standing.
