Our roof soft wash process
A proven four-step method built for farm country — field pollen, woodlot shade, and rural water realities.
Inspect
We assess your Wrenshall roof — slope exposure, shingle type, moss vs. algae, and shaded or tree-covered slopes.
Treat
Low-pressure application with roof-safe chemistry kills algae and moss at the root — never high PSI on shingles.
Rinse
A gentle rinse removes dead growth while protecting granules and manufacturer warranties.
Protect
Results last longer because spores are eliminated — not just rinsed. Bundle with gutters to prevent immediate re-streaking.

Why Wrenshall Roofs Weather Differently Than City Homes
Wrenshall is rural farm country just south of Jay Cooke — a former brickyard town where open farmland pollen and scattered woodlots combine to feed algae on shaded roof slopes.
- Farm-country pollen. Wrenshall’s open farmland kicks up heavy spring pollen that settles and feeds roof algae.
- Woodlot shade. Scattered woodlots keep north slopes shaded and slow to dry after rain.
- Well-water iron. Rural water often carries iron; we account for staining on every Wrenshall wash.
- Never pressure-wash it. High PSI voids warranties. Low-pressure soft washing is the safe, approved fix.
Every Wrenshall roof wash is built for farm country south of Jay Cooke — field pollen, woodlot shade, and rural water realities.
