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 Cary 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 Cary to clear algae, moss, and lichen with low pressure and the proper solution, protecting both the shingles and the manufacturer's warranty.
Cary roofs are mostly newer shingle on open, planned lots, so heavy algae streaking is less common here than in the older shaded towns. What we do see is irrigation overspray reaching the lower roof edge on the elevations nearest the sprinkler heads, leaving mineral deposit rather than growth. That is a rinse-and-treat problem, not a soft wash problem.
Cary is newer construction on the whole, mostly vinyl and fiber cement with planned landscaping. That means less structural staining and more pollen and irrigation spotting. HOA standards are also stricter here than in most of the area, which is usually why homeowners call before it looks bad rather than after.
Cary commercial is corporate campuses and well-kept retail. Property managers here tend to run scheduled programs rather than reactive calls, and appearance standards are enforced.
Neighborhoods we cover: Preston, Lochmere, MacGregor Downs, Amberly, Weldon Ridge, Cary Park, Downtown Cary and the Green Level corridor.
Cary is newer construction on the whole, which changes what goes wrong. There is less structural staining and more irrigation spotting, because well-planned landscaping means sprinklers running against siding and concrete. Overspray leaves mineral deposits and, where the water carries iron, rust runs that are chemistry rather than dirt. HOA standards here are stricter and more actively enforced than in most of the area, so homeowners generally call before a problem is visible from the street.
Cary residential is mostly vinyl and fiber cement soft washing, driveway cleaning with irrigation stain treatment, and gutter clearing on a predictable schedule. Commercial work is corporate campuses and maintained retail, where property managers run scheduled programs rather than reactive calls and appearance standards are written into the lease.
Cary schedules tend to be set by HOA calendars rather than by weather. Most associations issue exterior notices in spring, so the calendar fills fast from April through June and booking early is the difference between meeting a deadline and asking for an extension. Irrigation staining is the year-round exception. Sprinkler overspray keeps depositing mineral and iron regardless of season, so driveway and walkway treatment here is scheduled around when the staining becomes visible rather than around the weather.

“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.
