Professional roof cleaning in Cayce
Cayce, SC at a glance
Cayce sits along the Congaree just across the river from downtown Columbia, a historic town threaded by the Cayce Riverwalk and older brick and frame homes. River humidity and heavy shade keep mildew and algae growing on siding, walkways, and the aging masonry common here, and red clay tracks onto concrete after every rain. Soft-washing is the gentle way to clean older brick and delicate finishes without stripping mortar or paint.
The Riverwalk and the historic old-town core are looked after by the City of Cayce.

How we get roof cleaning right
The dark streaks bleeding down so many Columbia roofs are a living organism, the cyanobacteria Gloeocapsa magma, and the Midlands heat and humidity are exactly what it feeds on. It takes hold quickest on the asphalt shingle that caps most homes here, from the older roofs in Forest Acres to the newer builds out in Blythewood and Northeast Columbia, discoloring a light roof within a season or two. High pressure has no place on a roof. We treat it instead with a low-pressure soft wash, letting a cleaning solution kill the algae and lichen down to the root before a soft rinse clears it, so no shingle loses its protective granules and no tile is cracked. Blasting or hard-walking a roof is where the expensive damage happens, and it is why soft washing is the only method we use across the Midlands. Most Columbia roofs stay clean for a couple of years after a proper soft wash.
Every Cayce job starts with an upfront, flat quote and finishes with workmanship you can count on.
