Why Roof Cleaning Is Critical in Tennessee
Middle Tennessee's humid climate creates the perfect conditions for algae, moss, and lichen to grow on your roof. Over time, these contaminants stain shingles, trap moisture, and slowly break down roofing materials.
Black Roof Streaks
The dark streaks you see on many roofs are caused by algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. It feeds on the limestone in shingles, leaving unsightly stains across your roof.
Moss & Lichen Growth
Moss and lichen can grow between shingles and trap moisture against the roof surface, increasing the risk of long-term damage and premature roof wear.
Shingle Deterioration
Organic growth holds moisture against your shingles, which can shorten the life of your roof and lead to expensive repairs if left untreated.
The TRL Process
Roof Inspection & Property Protection
We begin by inspecting the roof for loose shingles, damaged areas, and heavy algae buildup. Landscaping and surrounding surfaces are pre-wet and protected to ensure plants and outdoor areas remain safe during the cleaning process.
Professional Soft Wash Application
A specialized soft washing solution is applied to safely eliminate algae, mold, lichen, and black roof streaks. This low-pressure method cleans the roof without damaging shingles or removing protective granules.
Algae Kill & Natural Rinse
The treatment continues working after application, breaking down organic growth at the root. Over the following days, rainfall naturally rinses away remaining residue, leaving your roof clean and restored.
No. We use a professional soft washing method specifically designed for roofs. This low-pressure process safely removes algae, moss, and buildup without damaging shingles or stripping protective granules.

Yes. Moss and lichen are extremely common on Middle Tennessee roofs due to the humidity and shade. Our soft wash treatment kills moss at the root and removes it safely without pressure that could crack or loosen shingles.
Algae appears as dark grey or black streaks running down the slope of the roof. Moss grows in thick green or brown clumps, often along shaded ridges and valleys. Both are removed with our soft wash treatment.
Most roofs stay clean for 2–4 years depending on shade, moisture, and surrounding trees. Smyrna and Murfreesboro homes near tree lines may see regrowth sooner — regular maintenance cleaning keeps algae and moss from returning.
