Make sure when you get your quote from a roof cleaning company that they will be using A.R.M.A approved roof cleaning solutions.
This factor can dramatically influence the roof cleaning prices because of the amount of solutions needed to clean the roof.
When you hire Peerless Roof Cleaning of Tampa you can be sure we will be adhering to manufacturer’s guidelines and that means no more pressure than a garden hose. Look out when you receive your quote and one of them is very low. This usually means they will be relying on a low pressure rinse, AKA “pressure washing” your roof after applying a very little amount of a “biodegradable” or “plant friendly” solution.
How will this solution kill and disinfect the algae and spores on your roof if it can’t harm plants?
The answer is simple, they will be using some form of pressure to remove the algae stain rather than using no pressure at all and adhering to manufacturer’s guidelines.
So you can see that the roof cleaning prices will vary because company A may be adhering to recommendations hauling hundreds of gallons of recommended cleaners all over Tampa while roof cleaning company B is using a couple bottles of harmful concentrated chemicals and pressure washing.

We are a professional non pressure roof cleaning company serving Tampa Florida
and surrounding areas.
Our roof cleaners use proper soaps and detergents to safely remove and disinfect the black and green algae stains on your shingle roof, tile roof or metal roof.
Using the proper solutions to clean your roof is the first step when beginning to clean your asphalt shingle roof. There are many solutions available today, we have tried every possible way to clean your roof safely and have found one proven method.
We have cleaned thousands of shingle roofs and tile roofs in the Tampa Bay area using A.R.M.A
approved roof cleaners.
A.R.M.A approved mixture :
One cup TSP, one gallon bleach and five gallons of water, to one cup TSP and 2.5 gallons each of bleach and water.
The article states roof cleaners should disperse the solution and allow the chemical to do the work, no scrubbing or dangerous high pressure washing systems should be used. A gentle rinse of
no more than a garden hose is used to rinse the solution free after the shingle roof cleaning solution has had enough time to dwell on the roof.
Following these guidelines is a crucial step when protecting the ceramic granules on your shingle roof. Many roof cleaners rely on a strong sodium hydroxide solution. These solutions will clean your roof, but in my experience cleaning thousands of roofs, you will still have to use a pressure washer or rely on a ‘low pressure rinse’. This will loosen the ceramic granules and you will be washing life away from your roof. In addition, bleach is a much safer and easier chemical to work with along with it’s ability to be safely used. Sodium hydroxide is a degreaser and your shingles have asphalt in them Therefore, spraying a degreaser that requires you to climb all over your slippery, shingle roof and then rinse off the dangerous solution on to the paint and metal lights, etc. on your home is not the safest method.
Bleach does not act as a degreaser, it will only react with the algae discoloring your roof.
Plus, bleach is much more friendly to your exterior paints, metal lights, doors, etc.
We learned very quickly which roof cleaners work and which solutions aren’t worth the bottle they are in.
Roof cleaning requires specialized tools just as any other trade or service.
You will need a pump that is resistant to the solution. In addition to the pump,
a large tank will be needed to house the A.R.M.A solution.
Peerless roof cleaners use high performance chemical resistant pumps to apply our roof cleaning solution. These pumps spray large volumes of solution at very low pressure. Solutions that are within the guidelines are a very weak solution of bleach and TSP, this means you will need to spray a lot of it.
Spraying pure swimming pool chlorine is not what professional roof cleaners use.
Staying within the proper guidelines with mixtures allows a for a safe and home
exterior friendly solution.
Next time you are thinking about spending your weekend on your roof using unapproved solutions because you don’t have the proper tools to safely clean your roof, call a professional roof cleaning company.

Peerless Pressure Washing and Roof Cleaning of Tampa 813 230 5915
The black stains on your roof are an algae called Gloeocapsa Magma. This very resilient algae
is found in warm, humid climates like we have here in Tampa, Fl. The algae is feeding on organic materials used in the composition of shingle and tile roofs. We are a professional roof cleaning company that removes and prevents algae stains and debris from your roof.
This algae is much tougher to clean or disinfect than the green algae on your home’s exterior or pool screen enclosure. Shingle roof manufacturers provide guidelines on how to safely clean and kill this algae from your roof.
Leaving your shingle or tile roof untreated and allowing this algae to feed upon the organic materials will lead to premature aging of your roof. With a tile roof the color and glaze is lost. Repairs to mortar and color for your tile roof can be costly and completely avoided. Roof cleaning with the proper methods will keep your roofs color longer and lower maintenance costs.
Shingle roofs improperly cleaned with high pressure forces them to lose the ceramic granules that are designed to reflect heat and provide the color to your roof. Using a pressure washer is strongly not recommended to clean your shingle roof. Garden hose pressure or no more pressure than a good rain is all that should be needed during a roof cleaning.
While the algae is feeding upon the organic materials used to keep the ceramic granules in place they have become looser and are more prone to damage. When the force of a pressure washer even at “low pressure” is used while walking all over the roof the granule loss is rapidly sped up.
Now you have opened a new layer of organic material for the algae to feed upon.
Using the chemical injector with a pressure washer to apply bleach will not kill and disinfect the algae. The green algae on your home’s exterior is a totally different beast than our roof algae. A pressure washer or power washer under the best circumstances will not be able to deliver a strong enough solution. A dedicated chemical pump is needed to obtain the manufacturer’s guidelines for roof cleaning.
Peerless non pressure pumps deliver up to 14 gallons per minute at no more pressure than a garden hose. The difference is our pumps are built for roof cleaning solutions specifically and are high performance pumps. This enables us to have a very far reach with our stream. In addition, this stops us from walking all over your roof. Most tiles are broken by walking during high pressure cleaning, or brand new, inexperienced companies.
So, as you can now see, it is all about having the proper tools. Still, even with the pumps and proper solution, roof cleaning is very dangerous work. Allowing the solution to clean the roof and not pressure is key to a safe and professional results. Cleaning a roof with a very strong pool chlorine solution is harmful to the roof and building’s exterior.
Pumps that are not capable of producing the flow needed usually are compensated by a stronger or
kicked-up solution.
An average 2000 square foot roof cleaning can use up to 200 gallons of cleaning solution.
This is a solution that adheres to the manufacturer’s guidelines. When a company uses 10 to 15 gallons of solution you can bet it was either very strong pool chlorine or it was pressure washed afterwards.
These unapproved solutions don’t kill and remove the algae. Pressure is still
used to blast away the visible algae stains, leaving the spores to re infect the shingle or tile roof.
