Pressure Washing Roofs in Sarasota
Are you secretly dreading the next time your neighbors walk by and raise their eyebrows at that greenish tint taking over your shingles?
We get it… In Florida’s tropical climate—especially here in Sarasota—your roof can become a five-star resort for mold, algae, and moss faster than you can say “humidity.”
But fear not, oh exasperated homeowner (looking at you, Jason).
Gorilla Kleen is on a mission to save your roof from the algae apocalypse, all while helping you maintain that precious curb appeal.
Why “Pressure Washing Roofs” Matters
When it comes to “pressure washing roofs,” some folks picture a water cannon blasting a roof into the stratosphere. Sure, that might look impressive, but it’s about as healthy for your shingles as dropping your phone into the Gulf. Instead, we use a soft washing technique, a specialized low-pressure system paired with carefully formulated cleaning solutions. This method tackles Florida’s algae, mildew, and mold without leaving your roof in tatters.

Frequently Asked Questions
We use a soft-wash roof-cleaning process rather than high-pressure blasting. That means we apply environment-safe cleaning solutions (including biocides to treat algae, mold and organic growth) and low-pressure rinse to gently remove black streaks, moss, lichen and debris without damaging your roofing materials. As stated on our services page, “soft wash roof cleaning” is used to protect delicate surfaces.
The frequency depends on roof type, shading (trees), local climate (Sarasota gets high humidity/pollen), and roof slope. For many roofs in our region, a cleaning every 2-4 years can help greatly. Benefits include:
Removing algae/moss that can degrade shingles/tiles and shorten roof life. Gorilla Kleen+1
Improving curb appeal – a clean roof enhances the look of your home or commercial property.
Potentially improving energy efficiency – by removing dark streaks and organic growth, the surface may reflect more sunlight. Gorilla Kleen
We’ll discuss the specific interval and maintenance plan when we inspect your roof.
That’s a great question and an important consideration. Most modern roofing manufacturers allow cleaning as long as it’s done according to their guidelines (in terms of pressure limits, method, chemical compatibility, etc.). Because we use a soft-wash method with low pressure and controlled cleaning agents, we aim to maintain compliance with those requirements.
We recommend you check with your roofing manufacturer or installer to verify any warranty restrictions. If you share your roof spec with us, we’ll ensure our method aligns and document the process so you have records for warranty purposes.
Good preparation and follow-through are key:
Before cleaning: We’ll schedule when weather is favorable, ensure shrubs/plants are protected (we’ll wet them or cover them), check roof access and safety equipment, and clear gutters or remove loose debris.
During: We’ll apply our cleaning solution (with a biocide if needed), allow dwell time, rinse gently, and inspect the job. We also contain and recycle wash water when required by local regulation. Gorilla Kleen+1
After cleaning: We’ll rinse all walkthrough areas, check downspouts for runoff, inspect landscaping for any chemical overspray (though we take care to avoid this), and walk you through the results. We’ll also provide instructions on light maintenance (e.g., trimming overhanging limbs, clearing debris) to help extend the cleaning’s effect.
