The Ontario approach

Roof Cleaning & Coating, done the way it should be in Brampton.

Those black streaks running down your shingles are not dirt. They are colonies of gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, the algae digest your roof at a measurable rate, studies have shown 5 to 10 years of lifespan lost on untreated homes over a 25-year period.

Soft-washing is the only safe cleaning method. High-pressure power-washing strips the protective ceramic granule layer from shingles and shortens roof life dramatically, often voiding the manufacturer warranty in the process. Our soft-wash uses a sodium-hypochlorite solution applied at under 300 PSI, which kills the algae at the spore level while leaving the granules intact.

For flat commercial roofs, we also apply reflective white elastomeric coatings. A $3,000 to $6,000 coating on a 5,000 sq ft roof can extend the life of an ageing membrane by 10+ years while reducing building cooling costs by up to 20% in summer.

00 1 647 846 7469
Will the black streaks come back?
Not for 4 to 6 years on average, longer with zinc strip installation at the ridge.
Can I power-wash the roof myself?
Please don't. High-pressure washing strips the protective granule layer from asphalt shingles and shortens roof life dramatically. Soft-washing is the only safe method.
Are roof coatings worth it?
On flat commercial roofs, absolutely, a $3,000 to $6,000 reflective coating can delay a $25,000 membrane replacement by 10+ years.
How often should I have my roof soft-washed?
Every 4 to 6 years is typical for Ontario homes. Homes with heavy tree cover or north-facing slopes may need it every 3 years.
Does soft-washing void my shingle warranty?
No. Soft-washing at low pressure is explicitly approved by IKO, GAF, Malarkey and BP. What voids warranties is power-washing.
Will my shingles look new again?
Near enough. The black staining disappears completely. Any granule loss that has already happened cannot be reversed, but cleaning prevents further degradation.
How often should I have this done?
Every 4 to 6 years for most Ontario homes. Homes with heavy tree cover, north-facing slopes or near standing water may need it every 3 years. Zinc strips extend the interval to 10+ years.
