Roof Wash in Myrtle Beach – Clean and Protect Without Harm

Over time, algae, moss, and coastal debris can make your roof look older than it really is—and can even shorten its lifespan if left untreated. At All American Property Services, we provide gentle, effective soft wash roof cleaning  services designed specifically for Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, and the entire Grand Strand area.


We’re a family-owned, fully insured team with 8 years of local experience, and we never use damaging high-pressure methods that strip shingle granules. Our goal is simple: clean your roof safely, restore its appearance, and help it last as long as possible by removing corrosive organic growth.


Think you need a new roof? Think again. A proper soft wash often reveals a clean, healthy roof that still has years of life left, saving you thousands in unnecessary replacement costs.

Why Soft Wash Is the Only Right Choice for Your Roof

Soft washing is the only recommended and safe cleaning method for asphalt shingles, as recognized by roofing manufacturers. High pressure cleaning can violently strip away the protective surface granules, instantly shortening the roof's lifespan and causing irreversible damage to its waterproof integrity. Our specialized soft wash method is safe, highly effective, and ideally suited for the high humidity and organic growth prevalent in coastal conditions.


Benefits of Choosing Our Granule-Safe Soft Wash:


  • Safely removes algae, moss, streaks, and grime: We eliminate the bacteria (Gloeocapsa magma) that causes those ugly black streaks.
  • Protects shingle granules and surface integrity: Our low-pressure approach preserves the granule layer that defends your roof against UV rays.
  • Prevents future organic growth: The cleaning solution treats the organic material, providing a longer-lasting clean than water alone.
  • Helps your home look clean and well-maintained: Restoration of curb appeal that dramatically improves the look of your home.
  • Supports long-term roof health and performance: Removing moisture-retaining growth prevents wood rot and shingle degradation.


If your roof shows signs of deeper wear (beyond just surface dirt), pairing soft wash with restoration is the best path forward:


  • Roof Restoration: A multi-step process that combines soft washing with necessary repairs and protective treatments to strengthen and extend the life of aging shingles.

Gentle, Effective Cleaning That Protects Your Shingles

Our roof washing process is carefully tailored for Myrtle Beach’s high humidity, salt air exposure, and rapid organic growth cycles. We ensure every step is meticulously performed by our in-house, trained technicians for maximum safety and effectiveness.

Step 1 — Free Roof Inspection

We begin every service with a no-cost roof inspection. We meticulously check for the extent of algae and moss, granule loss, shingle brittleness, and any underlying signs of damage. This diagnostic step ensures the wash is appropriate and helps us identify any needed roof repair.

Step 2 — Low-Pressure Soft Wash Application

We utilize specialized, professional-grade equipment to apply our cleaning solution at a very low pressure—similar to a garden hose. This solution is specifically formulated to safely emulsify and remove all organic buildup, streaks, and grime without relying on abrasive force that harms shingles.

Step 3 — Granule-Safe Rinse

Once the solution has done its work, we perform a gentle, volume rinse. This critical step ensures no residue is left behind, protecting the integrity of the crucial granule layer that keeps your roof waterproof and UV resistant.

Step 4 — Spot-Check Repairs and Recommendations

As we clean, we perform a final inspection. If we notice minor issues like lifted shingles, unsecured pipe boots, nail pops, or exposed fasteners, we’ll immediately bring them to your attention and recommend quick tune-up fixes to maximize your roof’s safety.

Step 5 — Complete Cleanup

We take pride in leaving your property spotless. We rinse surrounding areas, decking, and landscaping and ensure no streaks or residue remain on siding or pathways. The only evidence left will be a clean, revitalized roof.

Combine Roof Wash With Long-Term Care for Maximum Life Extension

Roof washing works synergistically with our preventative and restorative services to strengthen and extend your roof’s life well beyond typical expectations. Cleaning your roof is the essential first step before applying any long-term protective treatment.


Great add-ons to consider for complete protection:


  • Annual Roof Tune-Ups: Combine your cleaning with a yearly maintenance check to secure loose elements and seal vulnerabilities after the wash. This is the ultimate preventative package.
  • Roof Rejuvenation: Ideal for older, dried-out shingles. The soft wash removes buildup that could block the rejuvenating treatment, allowing the product to fully absorb and restore flexibility and weather resistance.
  • Full Restoration Services: For roofs with extensive wear or aging, the soft wash is always the first stage of our comprehensive Roof Restoration process.


A clean, healthy roof is the foundational step toward long-term durability, increased weather protection, and avoiding the stress of premature replacement.

Roof Wash Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is soft wash roof cleaning and why is it essential to use it in Myrtle Beach?

    Soft wash cleaning is a safe, low-pressure cleaning method that utilizes specialized, biodegradable solutions to remove surface contaminants like algae, mold, moss, and dirt. It is essential in Myrtle Beach because high humidity causes rapid organic growth, and using soft wash protects your vulnerable asphalt shingles from the damage caused by high-pressure washing.


  • How does roof wash remove grit and grime without causing shingle damage?

    We achieve cleanliness through chemistry, not force. Our low-pressure application allows the cleaning solution to break down and lift the organic buildup. This eliminates the need for high pressure, which is what strips the protective granules and ultimately compromises the waterproof layer of your roof.


  • Can roof wash be part of a tune-up package in Surfside Beach?

    Absolutely. Many homeowners in Surfside Beach and Garden City combine a roof wash with a yearly roof tune-up. This combination offers both aesthetic improvement and essential preventative maintenance, ensuring the roof is both clean and secured against minor leaks.


  • What’s the cost of roof wash services near me, and is it affordable?

    The cost of roof washing is determined by the size and pitch of your roof, but it is highly affordable and costs far less than having to replace prematurely damaged shingles. Investing in a soft wash is a crucial preventative measure that provides excellent long-term value.


  • How long does a roof wash typically take in Murrells Inlet?

    Most residential homes in the Murrells Inlet area can be professionally washed in 2–4 hours, depending on the severity of the organic buildup and the overall roof size and complexity. We work efficiently while maintaining our strict quality and safety standards.
