Roof Streaking Runs Fast on Windermere's Lakefront Homes
Wrapped around the Butler Chain of Lakes, the town holds constant humidity off the water, and the mature live-oak canopy shading the estate lots keeps roofs damp for most of the year. Damp roofs are exactly where black streaking, moss, and lichen take hold, and once they do, they grow back fast. That black staining you see running down tile and shingle is a Gloeocapsa algae problem, and on the high-visibility estate homes here it reads as an appearance issue as much as a maintenance one.
We clean tile, shingle, and metal alike, matching the approach to the roof in front of us. Every roof gets a low-pressure soft wash that kills the organic growth without anything hard ever touching the surface.

The Roof Types We Clean in Windermere
We soft wash every common roof type found across Windermere, from the large tile roofs on the lakefront estates to the shingle and metal roofs closer to town.
Tile Roofs
We soft wash tile with a low-pressure spray that kills mold, algae, and lichen and then dwells, so nothing scrubs or walks the tile itself. Tile holds streaking in the shaded, damp spots, so we treat the whole plane evenly.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
We treat shingle with a soft wash that lifts the black streaking and organic growth and rinses clean, with no pressure that could strip the granules. You will find shingle most often on the smaller homes in the older Town core.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are cleaned section by section, treating and rinsing as we go, so the finish stays protected and no growth is left behind.
Cedar Shake Roofs
Cedar shake gets a gentle, low-pressure treatment that clears organic growth without driving water into the wood or lifting the shakes.
Flat and Low-Slope (TPO) Roofs
Low-slope TPO membrane roofs are soft washed to remove algae and buildup while keeping the membrane and its seams intact.
Roof Cleaning for Windermere Homes and Businesses
Most of our Windermere roof work is residential, on the large tile roofs around the lakes, with a commercial side across the properties nearby. The soft-wash standard is the same on both; what changes is the scheduling and the access.
Residential Roof Cleaning
We soft wash the full roof to remove mold, algae, moss, and lichen, working from ladders so a fragile roof never has to bear weight. Every job is documented with before-and-after photos so you can see the result. Roof cleaning stands on its own, or it becomes the first step when it is booked alongside a house wash, since we always start at the roof and work top-down. Many homeowners pair it with gutter cleaning so the debris we clear off the roof doesn’t settle straight into clogged gutters. If your roof doesn’t have gutters, there’s some runoff we can’t fully contain — we saturate and cover your plants and neutralize afterward, but we’ll flag any delicate new plantings so you can move them first.
Commercial Roof Cleaning
We soft wash commercial and multi-family roofs, coordinate around the property’s operations, and can put more than one rig on a larger site so the work moves quickly and keeps disruption low. When the roof is done, the same crew can take on the commercial building washing below it, so the whole exterior is handled in one coordinated visit. That covers property types such as clubhouses and amenity buildings in the gated lake-and-golf communities, HOA-managed common buildings, and offices near the town core. When the work is for an HOA or an association, we coordinate the schedule with the board or manager, and residents are notified through management before we arrive.

05. Crew Arrival and the Soft Wash
We pull hoses, take before photos, and heavily saturate and cover the plants and landscaping below the roofline. We bag the gutter ends to catch runoff, set up from ladders with ladder guards, and soft wash top-down with our low-pressure sprayers and a roof-strength cleaning agent, so nothing hard ever touches or walks the surface. On Windermere’s big multi-valley estate tile, we work plane by plane so every shaded, streaked section gets even treatment.
06. Rinse, Photos, and Final Walkthrough
We rinse, dispose of runoff properly, take after photos, and finish with a walkthrough so you can see the roof is free of organic growth before we leave.

What Windermere Customers Say
Proud to Serve Windermere
Windermere is a small town wrapped around the Butler Chain of Lakes, and as a locally owned crew, we treat every roof here like it is on our own street. When we are not on a ladder, we sponsor local youth softball and T-ball teams with jerseys and equipment, because this is the community we live and work in.
Most of what we do here falls into two camps: the large lakefront estate tile roofs and the smaller mixed-material homes over in the historic Town core.
