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 Carrboro 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 Carrboro to clear algae, moss, and lichen with low pressure and the proper solution, protecting both the shingles and the manufacturer's warranty.
Carrboro is dense, shaded, and older, with a lot of wood siding and close-set houses. Limited airflow between properties keeps walls damp longer, so algae establishes early and returns faster than in open subdivisions.
The commercial side is independent retail and restaurants with heavy pedestrian traffic, where patio and sidewalk concrete is the surface people actually notice.
Neighborhoods we cover: Downtown Carrboro, Weaver Street, Lake Hogan Farms, Winmore and the older blocks off Main Street.
Carrboro is dense, shaded, and older, with a lot of wood siding and houses set close together. Limited airflow between properties keeps walls damp well after rain, so algae establishes early and returns faster than in open subdivisions. Access is frequently tight, and equipment placement matters more here than in most towns.
Residential work is soft washing shaded wood siding on close-set lots. Commercially it is the independent retail and restaurants around Weaver Street and downtown, where patio and sidewalk concrete carries heavy pedestrian traffic and is the surface people actually notice.
Density and shade give Carrboro one of the shorter maintenance cycles in the area. Houses sit close together, airflow between them is limited, and walls stay damp long after the rain stops, so growth returns faster here than in open subdivisions and an annual wash frequently is not enough. The commercial side runs on a different clock entirely. Patio and sidewalk concrete outside restaurants with real pedestrian traffic needs a recurring schedule measured in months rather than years.

“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!”
