Residential Roof & Gutter Cleaning in Knoxville, TN
Soft-wash roof cleaning that clears black streaks and moss without harming your shingles, plus gutter clear-out that keeps water moving away from your home.
Those black streaks on a Knoxville roof are algae (Gloeocapsa magma), and the green patches are moss — both hold moisture against the shingles and shorten the roof's life. High pressure would strip them along with the shingle granules. We soft wash at low pressure so the growth comes off and the roof is protected, following the method shingle manufacturers recommend.
While we're there, we clear the gutters and downspouts — bagging the debris and flushing the runs — so rainwater drains away from the fascia, foundation, and landscaping instead of overflowing behind them.
Typical maintenance plan cadence
A soft-wash roof treatment typically holds one to three years; gutters usually want clearing once or twice a year, more under heavy tree cover. We can pair them on one visit and keep it on a seasonal schedule.

FAQ
Roof & Gutter (Homes) questions
Will roof cleaning void my shingle warranty?
No. We soft wash at low pressure following ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) guidance — the method shingle manufacturers specify — so streaks and moss come off without damaging granules or voiding the warranty.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
They're Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy algae that thrives in Knoxville's shade and humidity. Soft washing removes it and treats the surface so it's slower to return than after a plain rinse.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Once or twice a year for most homes — typically fall and spring. Homes under heavy tree cover often need an extra clearing to prevent clogs and overflow.
Can you do the roof and gutters in one visit?
Yes — pairing them is the most efficient way to do it, and we can put the combination on a seasonal schedule so it's handled automatically.
Do you clean metal or flat roofs?
Yes. We assess roof type and access first and adjust the method for metal, low-slope, and membrane roofs as well as shingle.
