Sarasota Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing, Done Right

Yes, which is why UBA uses only Roof Soft Washing on every tile roof. Standard pressure washing (2,500 to 3,500 PSI) will crack or chip barrel tile, loosen the granules on flat concrete tile, and can force water under tile into the underlayment. Florida's most common roof types, barrel clay tile, flat concrete tile, and low-slope membrane roofs, are all vulnerable to high-pressure washing. We use soft wash chemistry at 100 to 200 PSI, which removes the growth at the biological level without mechanical stress on the tile. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association and most Florida tile manufacturers specify low-pressure or chemical wash in their maintenance guidelines.

Without a sealer, 12 to 18 months in Sarasota's climate is typical. The combination of humidity, heat, and the organic debris that accumulates in tile valleys creates ideal conditions for Gloeocapsa magma regrowth. With HydroLock, our customers routinely go 5 years between cleanings, and we guarantee that outcome in writing. We've had customers who cleaned their roof once with us and haven't needed another cleaning in 4 years. That's the outcome we're aiming for, not repeat business.

Everything. We quote the full job: chemical cost, labor, setup and teardown, plant protection protocol, post-wash rinse, and (if applicable) HydroLock application and first-year drone inspection. We don't quote a low number and add-on mid-job. The number we give you is the number on the invoice.

Standard soft wash cleaning comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. If visible algae or streaking returns within 90 days of a completed standard cleaning, we retreat the affected area at no charge. This rarely happens, but the guarantee exists. HydroLock extends that to a full 5 years.

Yes. We are a licensed contractor in Florida. Full licensing details and insurance certificates are available on request. For Florida homeowners hiring exterior cleaning companies, it's worth verifying both. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation maintains a searchable database of licensed contractors.

Yes. Roof cleaning is our primary business and where the majority of our revenue comes from, but we handle the full exterior. Pool cage cleaning, lanai cleaning, driveway and sidewalk cleaning, fence cleaning, house washing, and gutter cleaning are all part of our service menu. Many customers start with a roof cleaning inquiry and end up scheduling a full exterior package once they see how the roof looks on completion.

The base chemistry for soft washing is a sodium hypochlorite solution mixed at a concentration appropriate for the growth type and roof material. We use a surfactant to improve dwell time and a neutralizer rinse to protect surrounding vegetation. All of our formulations are reviewed against the EPA Safer Choice criteria for ecological impact on runoff. We'll walk through the chemistry in detail during the intake call if that matters to you.
