Roof Washing in Burlington

Roof Washing done right, the first time

Those black streaks on the roof are an algae called Gloeocapsa magma, and pressure washing a roof to remove them voids warranties and tears up shingles. In Burlington we soft wash instead: a low-pressure treatment that kills the algae and moss and lets the rain rinse it clean.

A clean roof lasts longer. Central Triangle Pressure Washing soft washes roofs across Burlington to clear algae, moss, and lichen with low pressure and the proper solution, protecting both the shingles and the manufacturer's warranty.

Burlington sits at the western edge of our area and carries older Alamance County housing stock, including a good deal of brick and painted wood. Mature trees and older gutter systems mean roof and gutter work comes up more than it does in the newer towns.

The commercial side includes older downtown buildings and light manufacturing, where loading areas and equipment surfaces need a different approach from an office entrance.

Neighborhoods we cover: Downtown Burlington, Beverly Hills, Forest Hills, Mackintosh on the Lake and the older neighborhoods near Elon.

Burlington sits at the western edge of our area and carries older Alamance County housing stock, including a good deal of brick and painted wood near downtown and Elon. Mature trees mean shaded walls and earlier growth than the newer Wake County towns. Gutter systems here are frequently original, and after decades several runs are usually pitched slightly wrong, which is why water still sits after a clear.

Residential work is soft washing older brick and painted exteriors, clearing original gutter systems, and cleaning concrete and occasionally asphalt drives, which need different handling. Commercially Burlington includes older downtown buildings and light manufacturing, where loading areas and equipment surfaces need a different approach from an office entrance.

Older Alamance County housing stock and mature trees push more of the Burlington calendar toward gutter and roof work than toward siding. Hardwoods here drop late, so a gutter clearing before December is usually the one that holds, and clearing in September means clearing again. Original brick and painted wood on the older properties are soft wash work and are better done in spring, once overnight temperatures are reliably above freezing and a treatment will actually set.

Questions

Roof Washing FAQ · Burlington

Is pressure washing bad for a roof?
Yes. High pressure strips the granules off shingles and can void your warranty. Soft washing is the safe method, and it is what we use on every Burlington roof.
How long does it last?
A soft-wash treatment typically keeps a Burlington roof clear of algae for a few years, depending on shade and tree cover.
Can you clean metal and tile roofs too?
Yes. Asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and slate are all handled with a method matched to the material.
Can you clean asphalt driveways in Burlington?
Yes, and carefully. Asphalt will not take the pressure concrete does, and too much will strip the surface. We use lower pressure and a longer dwell, and we will say so if a drive is too degraded to improve much.
Do you cover Alamance County generally?
Yes, Burlington, Mebane, Elon and the surrounding area. We have worked this side of the Triangle since the business started and there is no additional charge for the distance.

“Central Triangle Pressure Washing did a great job washing our house! They were on time and worked hard to make our brick and vinyl house look better than ever! The dirty white vinyl and aluminum is now beautiful again! The outside stairwell going into our basement in particular was a nightmare and now it looks like new! Their pricing is also very fair. My husband and I highly recommend giving them a try! We will definitely use them again!”
