Black streaks, algae, moss, and mildew are shortening the life of your roof. Green Pro Services removes them safely with low-pressure soft washing — no damage to shingles, no voided warranties.
Roof Cleaning Results That Speak for Themselves
Drag the slider to see what soft wash roof cleaning does. Those black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma — a living algae feeding on your shingles. We kill it at the root.
Why Kankakee County Roofs Need Regular Cleaning
Those dark streaks running down your roof aren't dirt — they're Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it eats away at your roofing material, shortens your shingle lifespan, and tanks your curb appeal.
Kankakee County's humid summers, heavy tree coverage, and significant moisture from the Kankakee River corridor make this area especially prone to algae, moss, lichen, and mildew growth on rooftops. Homes in Bourbonnais, Bradley, Manteno, and Kankakee all see it — and most homeowners don't realize it's happening until the damage is visible.
The good news: it's completely reversible. Green Pro Services uses a manufacturer-recommended soft wash process to kill the growth at the root, rinse it clean, and restore your roof without touching a single granule. No high pressure, no damage, no voided warranty.

Benefits of Low Pressure Roof Cleaning
High-pressure washing blows granules off shingles, voids manufacturer warranties, and drives water under your roofing materials. Soft washing cleans deeper and the results last longer — typically 3 to 5 years before regrowth.
Safe for all roofing materials
Works on asphalt shingles, metal, tile, cedar shake, and flat roofs. Low pressure means zero granule loss and zero damage to underlayment.
Kills algae at the root
Our professional-grade solutions don't just rinse the surface — they kill the organism causing the staining so results last significantly longer than pressure washing.
Manufacturer-approved method
The ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) recommends low-pressure soft washing. Your warranty stays intact.
Extends your roof's lifespan
Algae and moss trap moisture and accelerate shingle decay. Regular cleaning can add years to your roof and delay a costly replacement.
Boosts curb appeal and property value
A clean roof makes your home look newer and better maintained. For pre-listing cleaning, it's one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make.
