By Roof Material
We Clean Every Tampa Bay Roof Type
Tampa Bay's mix of clay tile, asphalt shingle, and coastal metal roofs each need a different soft wash technique. We use the correct soft wash technique for all three.
Tile
Tile Roof Cleaning
Tile roofs dominate Tampa Bay neighborhoods — Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, Trinity.
- ✓ Zero-foot-traffic technique — we never walk on your tile
- ✓ Algae, mold, mildew, and lichen removed at the root
- ✓ Safe for clay barrel, concrete S-tile, flat tile
From $750 Tile details →
Asphalt Shingle
Shingle Roof Cleaning
Asphalt shingle is the most common Tampa Bay roof material — and the most vulnerable to Gloeocapsa magma, the black algae that creates those ugly streaks running down your roof.
- ✓ Manufacturer-approved soft wash method (preserves warranty)
- ✓ Removes Gloeocapsa magma black streaks
- ✓ Kills algae, moss, lichen at the root
From $600 Asphalt Shingle details →
Metal
Metal Roof Cleaning
Tampa Bay metal roofs — standing seam, corrugated, R-panel — handle hurricanes great but accumulate salt deposits, algae, and mildew quickly in coastal humidity.
- ✓ Safe for standing seam, corrugated, R-panel
- ✓ Salt deposit removal (critical for coastal homes)
- ✓ pH-balanced solutions — no paint dulling

The Science
Why Soft Wash (And Not Pressure Wash)
Pressure washing a roof is one of the worst things a homeowner can do. High-pressure water blasts away the protective granules on asphalt shingles, cracks clay tile, and dulls metal paint finishes. Most manufacturer warranties — GAF, Owens Corning, Eagle Tile, McElroy Metal — are voided by high-pressure cleaning.
Soft wash uses chemistry instead of force. Low-pressure (under 100 PSI) applies biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill Gloeocapsa magma — the black algae feeding on your shingles — at the molecular level. Algae dies, washes away in the next rain, doesn't come back for 3–5 years.
Soft wash is the ONLY method approved by:
- GAF (asphalt shingle manufacturer)
- Owens Corning (asphalt shingle manufacturer)
- ARMA — Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association
- RCIA — Roof Cleaning Institute of America
Sandbar Soft Wash is fully insured with 15+ years on Tampa Bay roofs — and warranty-safe soft wash is all we do.

Questions
Roof Cleaning FAQs

Pressure washing blasts 1500+ PSI for concrete. Soft wash uses low pressure under 100 PSI plus surfactants for longer-lasting, warranty-safe results on roofs and siding.
How much does roof cleaning cost in Tampa Bay?
Most Tampa Bay homes range from $600 to $1,800 for a professional soft wash. Exact price confirmed with your free 24-hour instant quote — just send your address.
