Professional Roof Cleaning in Simpsonville, Greenville & The Upstate
Do you ever look at your home and notice green algae, dirt, mildew, or dark streaking starting to build up on the siding? Over time, those stains can make even a beautiful home look older, dirtier, and less cared for than it really is. That is where our service comes into play. We use a professional soft wash roof cleaning system that allows us to safely clean your home's exterior without relying on damaging high pressure. Our process is designed to remove organic buildup, wash away dirt and grime, and restore the clean appearance of your siding while being safer for the surfaces of your home.
When you have a clean house exterior, it makes your entire home look fresh, bright, and well maintained. Unfortunately, washing your own home can be a time-consuming and frustrating do-it-yourself project, and using the wrong pressure or cleaning methods can even cause damage. At Foothills Exterior Cleaning Services, we take the struggle and guesswork out of it with our premium roof cleaning services.
Roof Types We Clean
Every roofing material calls for a different touch. We match our low-pressure soft wash process and cleaning solutions to your specific roof style so it comes clean safely.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
The most common roof in the Upstate, and the most prone to black streaking from Gloeocapsa magma algae, moss, and lichen. We soft wash shingles at low pressure so the buildup and staining are removed without blasting off the protective granules that shorten a roof's life.

Standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle roofs are cleaned with low pressure and specialized solutions that lift dirt, algae, and oxidation from the panels. Our method protects the factory finish and coatings, so there is no scratching, no scrubbing, and no damage to the seams.

Clay and concrete tile is beautiful but fragile and easy to crack underfoot. We clean tile with a gentle soft wash that clears algae, moss, and organic staining from the surface while protecting the tile and the underlayment beneath, all without high pressure or unnecessary foot traffic.

Flat and low-slope commercial roofs, including PVC, TPO, and single-ply membrane systems, trap dirt, algae, and biological staining that hold moisture against the membrane. We clean these surfaces with low-pressure soft washing and membrane-safe solutions that restore the look and reflectivity without harming the seams or the roof warranty.

FAQ
Roof Cleaning Questions, Answered
Straight answers from the crew that's cleaned hundreds of Upstate roofs.
What is roof cleaning and how is it different from pressure washing?
Roof cleaning uses low-pressure soft washing with professional cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, moss, lichen, and the black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa magma. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water that can crack tiles, strip granules from shingles, and void your roof warranty, soft washing gently cleans the surface without any damage. It kills the organisms at the root for a deeper, longer-lasting clean.
Is roof cleaning safe for my roof?
Yes. Our soft wash method uses low pressure and roof-safe cleaning solutions, so there is no risk of cracked tiles, dislodged granules, or damaged flashing. High-pressure washing can seriously damage a roof and shorten its lifespan, which is why we never use it on roofing materials. Soft washing is the method recommended by most shingle manufacturers.
How much does professional roof cleaning cost in Simpsonville and Greenville?
Roof cleaning typically costs between $400 and $700 for roofs under 2,000 sq ft, $700 to $1,400 for roofs between 2,000 and 4,000 sq ft, and $1,400 or more for roofs over 4,000 sq ft. Final pricing depends on the size of your roof, its pitch, and the level of buildup. All quotes from Foothills are free with no obligation. Call 864-713-9274 or request a quote online.
How long does roof cleaning take?

Our process includes pre-wetting all plants and landscaping, applying the cleaning solution at low pressure, allowing proper dwell time, and rinsing thoroughly.
What types of roofs can you clean?
We clean asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, barrel and clay tile roofs, and commercial PVC and TPO flat roofs. Our soft wash approach is tailored to each material so we safely remove algae, moss, and streaking without damaging the surface. If you are unsure about your roof type, give us a call and we will help.
How often should I get my roof cleaned?
Most roofs in the Upstate benefit from a cleaning every two to three years, though roofs shaded by trees or in humid, low-airflow areas may need it more often. Regular cleaning prevents algae and moss from taking hold, which protects your shingles and extends the life of your roof.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Those black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Beyond looking unsightly, it retains moisture and can shorten the life of your roof. Our soft wash process kills the algae at the root and removes the staining.
Do I need to be home during the service?
No, you do not need to be home. As long as we have access to your roof and exterior water, we can complete the cleaning while you are away. We will follow up afterward to make sure you are happy with the results.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Foothills is fully licensed and insured, and we are members of the UAMCC and PWNA. With more than 375 five-star reviews across the Upstate, you can trust your roof is in experienced, professional hands.
