Roof Cleaning in Mechanicsburg and Central Pennsylvania
Black streaks, moss and lichen make a roof look older than it is. Point Exteriors cleans asphalt shingle roofs across Central Pennsylvania with a low-pressure soft wash instead of a pressure washer, so the growth comes off without blasting the protective granules off your shingles.
Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
We use a low-pressure soft wash that treats algae, moss and lichen and rinses away what comes loose, instead of forcing high-pressure water across the shingles.
Why Roof Cleaning Matters
Those dark streaks are algae, and they keep spreading. Algae, moss and lichen hold moisture against the roof, and over time that can shorten the life of the shingles.
What We Clean
We look at every roof before we start and match the cleaning method to the roofing material and its condition.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Black streaks and algae growth are removed with a low-pressure soft wash that is gentle on shingles.
Moss & Lichen
Moss and lichen are treated and loose growth is rinsed off. Growth that stays attached can keep releasing gradually over time after treatment.
Gutters & Downspouts
Pair roof cleaning with gutter cleaning so the debris washed off the roof doesn’t stay in your gutters. Downspouts are flushed and tested.
Fascia & Soffits
The fascia and soffits along the roofline are washed so the whole roofline looks clean, not just the shingles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We have an answer.
Most roofs need cleaning every few years. Shaded and north-facing roofs, and roofs under trees, usually need it sooner because algae and moss come back faster there.
Not when it is done with a soft wash. High pressure can strip the granules that protect asphalt shingles, which is why we use low pressure and let the cleaning solution do the work.
Most black streaks on Pennsylvania roofs are algae that feed on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. They spread over time and hold moisture against the roof.
Yes. Gutter cleaning pairs naturally with roof cleaning, and booking services together usually costs less than booking them separately.
