Roof Softwash Cleaning
Say goodbye to moss, black algae, and unsightly stains. Our gentle, eco-friendly softwashing method is the best way to clean your roof without causing damage.
What is softwashing?
Softwashing is a revolutionary cleaning method that removes mold, algae, and grime without the harsh pressure that can destroy your roof. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which blasts away at shingles and can cause more harm than good, softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently clean and protect your roof.
Here’s how it works:
No manual damaging methods used. Brushless, touchless roof clean that relies on the proper educated use of soaps to completely clean all black and green algae stains on the face of your shingles as well as gently kill and remove all moss and lichens.

How Often Should You Softwash Your Roof
Roof maintenance often gets pushed aside until there’s visible damage, but keeping your roof clean is one of the smartest ways to protect your home.
In the Fraser Valley, we recommend softwashing every two to three years for most homes. That’s often enough to keep moss, algae, and black streaks under control without overdoing it.
If your home is surrounded by trees or doesn’t get much direct sunlight, you’ll likely need a cleaning every twelve to eighteen months. Homes with newer roofing materials and more sun exposure may be able to wait a bit longer.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Two to three years for most homes in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Langley, Mission, Hope, and Agassiz
- Twelve to eighteen months for shaded roofs or heavy organic buildup
- Sooner if you already see black streaks, moss, or algae
- Longer if your roof is newer, well-ventilated, and stays dry
The earlier you act, the more value you protect. A regular softwash helps extend the life of your shingles, improves curb appeal, and prevents costly moisture problems from setting in.
At Callaghan’s Softwash, we don’t oversell. If your roof still looks great, we’ll say so. If it’s time for a clean, we’ll explain what’s needed and why, with no obligation to book.
If you’re unsure when your roof was last cleaned, or you’re seeing signs of growth, we’ll take a look and give you a clear, honest recommendation.
