#1 Roof Washing Service

Roof Washing Ottawa

Residential Roof Washing

Clean Your Dirty Roof

Roof cleaning is an increasingly popular service that helps homeowners save thousands of dollars on roof replacement by preventing and killing bacterial, mold, and moss growth on roofs that eat away at the shingle. The black streaks on your roof isn’t dirt, but actually Gloeocapsa Magma; a bacteria that thrives on shingles and rooftops. It eats away at the roof, causing the shingles to curl and lose excessive amounts of shingle sand.

Our method for cleaning the roof is with our soft wash system that applies cleaning agents gently on the roof (garden hose pressure) to kill the growth and clean the roof. Our cleaning methods and chemicals are warranty approved by shingle manufacturers.

Never clean your roof with any pressure washers, they will damage your rooftop.

I had an excellent experience working with Softwash Butler to have my parking space cleaned. I phoned them up about cleaning a fairly large amount of undercoating oil that dripped off my truck onto my parking spot, and Calvin walked me through what my options were, and set honest and realistic expectations about how clean it could get, which I very much appreciated! Other cleaning services in the Ottawa area force you wait for days on end hoping to find out if they'll even consider taking on the job (if they ever get back to you at all), but Calvin was able to give me an immediate answer right on the first call! He was personable, easy to talk to, and worked within my tight schedule to get an appointment booked as soon as possible. Kaylee on the admin side was very communicative and quick to respond, and made the whole setup process smooth and straightforward. And Ryan, who handled the job on-site, was super friendly and professional, and he did an awesome job with the cleanup, especially considering the specific limitations of my condominium's underground parking garage (the ceiling's quite low and there's no water hookups). He let me know as soon as he was done, we went over the final result together, and I'm very happy with how it turned out! Overall I'm super impressed with the Softwash Butler team and how helpful they were, and how easy they made everything from quoting to cleaning, to invoicing and payment. I'd absolutely recommend them!

We have had our gutters cleaned many times in the past - but never before by Softwash Butler. They have been our best experience and we will continue to use them from now on. They arrived right on time with all the equipment they needed to do the job. Their service representative was very pleasant, professional and did a very thorough job, despite working in inclement weather from a tall ladder on a very tall two storey house. Their price was very competitive. I would highly recommend them. Norm B.

Huge thanks to Calvin and the team at Softwash Butlers, they truly care about their clients and don’t just try to push the most expensive service. The estimator gave me a great tip on how to clean my interlock myself successfully! While they didn’t charge me for the service, they’ve still gained a lifelong customer and spokesperson!

The Softwash Butler Difference

1. We use a low-pressure method that will not damage your asphalt shingles or void your roof’s warranty.

2. We use only environmentally safe and EPA-compliant cleaning agents (OHSA and environmental compliance).

3. We use biodegradable proprietary solution that includes special detergents to kill organic growth at the root.

4. We take every reasonable precaution to prevent damage to plants, shrubs, grass, and trees in surrounding areas. We will thoroughly wet all plants, including grass, shrubs, and trees. Remember the algae, mold, or lichen growing on your roof is a plant and must be killed at the root, or it can grow back in no time.

5. We post-treat your home, plants, shrubs, grass, and trees with a high-quality neutralizer and surfactant. Ideal for rinsing washed surfaces to prevent damage to sensitive siding and plants.

What are the black stains on my roof?

Have black stains or streaks invaded your roof? Those often overlooked black stains are algae-like bacteria, called gloeocapsa magma. Once they make a home on your roof, it is time to get it cleaned.

We understand your roof is one of the most critical parts of your home, which is a costly investment, and that’s the reason our team brings the advanced technique of low-pressure roof cleaning. Our roof washing professionals can remove the black stains on your roof and restore your roof back to being beautiful. If you want the black stains on your roof removed, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
